A Family of Three

This is the post I have wanted to write since our journey to become parents began!!! We welcomed Christopher Michael into our home on Saturday!!! We basically received a call that a baby had been born and that the birth mother wanted to place him with us. Michael called to tell me and my body went into shock...I was shaking, scared, crying and excited! We spent one night in the hospital and brought him home. We are in love with this adorable bundle of joy! I am taking a little over 10 weeks off work and I will enjoy every single minute of it even if that means being sleep deprived. Christopher has already been spoiled rotten with friends arriving with gifts, gifts via mail and the mini "baby shower" we came home to. I will post more about our precious bundle of joy when I have time...It looks like 2013 will be a great year!!!

Happy New Year!

2013 is here! The older I get the faster the years fly by! What will 2013 bring? Hopefully is will be a year filled with laughter and time spent with family and friends. We hope to run our first 5K...maybe a couple, and I pray that I am able to pass National Boards the first time! Maybe we can finally upgrade Michael's cell phone from a flip phone (or dumb phone as my stepsister calls it) to a smartphone. We hope his car makes it through 2013...225,000 miles and still going. Of course, there is the obvious...adopting a baby. While I hate to think about it I'm sure we will run into more hurdles, but it will only make us stronger. We will celebrate our 7th year of marriage, 11th year of being a couple and our 8th year of living in South Carolina. I'm sure there are many more things we will change, experience or conquer in 2013. I hope you are able to achieve your goals in 2013 and that it is filled with laughter, love and happiness!!!
