Hello 2011, you can only get better from here!!

Unfortunately I don't have any fun pictures of us ringing in the New Year. If I did, they would be of me curled up in the fetal position or hugging the toilet. Blah!

That's right. 2011 welcomed me and my little Deacon with the always dreaded stomach virus. It hit me around 11:15 last night and the rest is history.

Dil quarantined me to our bedroom and that is where I have remained all day. I don't know the last time I have just laid in bed all day. I have to admit, it has kinda been nice. The older two are at my parents and Dil has taken care of Deacon and Gilbert all day. Let me just say, my husband rocks!!

So my day has pretty much consisted of watching movies, sipping on Sprite, napping on and off, and LOTS of thinking.

I've been thinking about 2010 and all that went on this past year. The three things that I will always remember are Conner's salvation, the birth of my niece, and the start of our adoption process. It has been a great year...so much to be thankful for.

I've also been thinking about 2011 and all that will go on this year. It is full of BIG things for our family. Dillon will turn 30, we will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary, Tucker will start pre-k(tear), and we will see our daughter's face for the first time.

It is going to be an amazing, life changing year!! I can't wait!!

I just realized that it has been exactly 6 months today since we sent in our application and I started this blog. My main reason for the blog is so that we will never forget this journey to our daughter. I plan on having it made into a book for her. In doing that, I never imagined what a blessing this blog would be to me. The relationships I have formed and all the encouragement is amazing. Walking thru this process with you all makes it so much easier. I love celebrating with you, crying with you, and cheering you on. Thanks to all who have followed our journey so far. Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us all this year!!
