So it has been a while since the last time that I blogged, i haven't had to many pictures lately because my model started Ist grade, and she is gone for most of the day. It is weird to have her gone all day, I have free time to go shopping without someone complaining the whole time that she wished she was at home playing with friends, I have fun going to lunch with family and friends(I am available any day feel free to call). It is nice to have freedom, but I also miss her and being around her during the day. I sure love being a mom. Sadie has been a huge blessing in my life. I have been told by doctors that I probably won't be able to conceive another child, which crushed my heart, although we have tried invitro fertilization twice, getting pregnant both times and losing them both shortly after, we aren't going to give up. My awesome fertility doctor was sent to jail for a year. I know, I know, sounds bad, but I believe that he was falsely accused. He has been the best, most caring, most understanding doctor that I have been to. He is very smart, knows his stuff about fertility, and rises to the new challenges that people bring to him. He has helped so many people have their dreams of having a family come true. I haven't been to another doctor yet, and I feel right now that I just need a break from all of that stuff. So after long consideration, prayers and fasting, we have decided to adopt. The process has been long, lots of paperwork, and interviews, but well worth it. We just have one last letter to write and we will be good to go. We don't necessarily feel like we will never have any of our own children again, but we feel that we needed to proceed this way to grow our family. We are really excited, Sadie especially. She has told me time and time again that she wished she had a brother or a sister, which breaks my heart every time, but she knows that we are working hard to get her one, and let me tell you she will be THE BEST BIG SISTER ever. I sure love her, and my awesome husband who has been there for me to lean on through this whole situation. He truly is the BEST
Aren't I lucky!!!!

Ang- hello!! WOW! You have an absolutely beautiful daughter. You better watch out! I would suggest allowing her to date by resume only. :) And heavens, you look amazing!
It was so fun to take a peek into what you are doing these days.
Congrats on the decision to adopt. I have an adopted niece (my hubbies sister adopted) and we adore her. It's amazing how they really are supposed to be part of your family. The Lord does have his hand in all things- ESPECIALLY our families, and so it's no accident that you feel the need to adopt. You child is waiting to be part of your family.
So good to catch up (well in the bloggin' world anyway). Let's keep in touch!
Ang, you brought tears to my eyes! I can't imagine the hard decision that would be to adopt. I know your family will be blessed with more children. I will keep your family in our prayers.

Ang, you know how our family feels about adoption...the most spiritual, wonderful thing in the whole entire world! I am glad to hear things are underway with all that darn paperwork and details...sheesh, a lot of work! I don't know what we would do without our precious niece and nephew...they hold a very special place in my heart. It is truly amazing how they fit so perfectly in our family!
My heart and prayers are with you guys....you are amazing!
Ang

I love finding people on blogs, it is so great to be able to re-connect. I am sorry to hear about your fertility issues. I can relate, but haven't been through all you have. We are planning to do in vitro at the beginning of next year. We know, like you do, that the Lord will do what He will do, and we will be the better for it even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. You have a gorgeous family.
