First off, I have a confession to make. I am breaking one of my blogging rules. There are really only three rules I have: #1: Don't blog in Bed, #2: Don't blog about stuff Ferrari doesn't want shared, and #3: Don't "drink" and blog. Ferrari has given me the go ahead about what I'm going to post, and I haven't had a sip of alcohol in a couple weeks, so that would leave me blogging in bed. OOPS! I do, however, feel like it is ok to break this rule because we were out of town all weekend which left me with so much to do in such a short amount of time once returning home.
Now that I got that off my chest, I am excited to share with you some HUGE news. Some news that I have been wanting to share for a LONG TIME, but I wanted to wait for the perfect time! Tonight it is...
We are ADOPTING!
I have been thinking and planning nonstop for years about what the nursery would look like for our baby, and now I actually get to turn our empty nursery into the perfect "nest" to bring our little one home to!
Not a day goes by that I don't think about the babies we have waiting for us in heaven, and the future babies that we will get the opportunity to bring into our earthly home. We don't know what, who, or how many we will be blessed with, but what we do know is that we are so beyond excited and prepared to be parents!
What wonderful news!! I am so happy for you and Arie. Congratulations on this exciting new chapter!!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't be more happy for you guys! What an exciting time. You guys will be such amazing parents and the little one out there or soon to be out there is going to be so incredibly blessed having you two as parents!! We will pray for patience and understanding as you wait! :)
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you two, I love you! Mom

Although I HAVE been praying since our lunch at Duck! ;) Adoption is such a gift and a picture of god's love for us!
