In an attempt to keep up with the rest of our cute extended family, we have decided to take a deep breath and jump into the world of blogging! So here goes....
I am married to the most incredible guy! We were married September 28, 2001 on a beautiful autumn day. I sang the song "Songbird" to him at our wedding and so it has been very special to us ever since. Lonny and I are best friends! Right from the start we found so many things we love to do together - camping, hiking, travelling and playing tennis. Lonny has been an amazing tennis coach and we need to find more time to play, but we are fanatics! Lonny also loves to do projects around the house, ride his HARLEY and enjoys all kinds of water sports. I am a yoga enthusiast, love to cook, bake, decorate and perform - I sing in two bands! I also love to write songs and feebly attempt to play keyboards. I am also passionate about University of Tennessee football (go Vols!) and have dragged Lonny and Connor on board with me. I even forgive Lonny for being a Dallas Cowboy fan!
But most of all, we love....BEING CONNOR'S PARENTS!!!! Connor is the joy of our lives....he just turned two and he completely has captured our hearts! Connor came to us through the miracle of adoption. He is our little blessing! Connor loves Thomas the Tank Engine and all of his friends. He also loves bubbles, macaroni and cheese, playing on the slide and doing anything his dad is doing. He is talking up a storm and is learning so much every day. We are so thankful that he is in our lives.
Right now we are in the process of looking for another little person to join our family! We have been approved and are working with LDS Family Services. To see our web profile go to: http://www.providentliving.org/ses/birthmother/viewsingleprofile/0,12272,2133-1-9232-1-1,00.html - Whew! That is a mouthful. If you know of anyone who might be interested in placing a child for adoption, you can direct them to our web profile. We are excited to have more little feet running around our house and to get to know and love our next set of birthparents.
Thanks for checking us out! We will try to be faithful bloggers!! And thanks to Angela for giving us the encouragement to go for it!!

Quotes About Adoption
A Special One for You, Connor:
I did not give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of YOU!!
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’’s life. -Richard Bach
If a child is born and raised in a home that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can’t give a child any greater place from which to fly. -Amanda Bearse
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: Any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. I have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious. -Dale Evans
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child. -Jamie Lee Curtis
I realized at the start that whether a child is biological or adopted, one does not know all the ingredients in the package. That is what growth is all about. A child is the slowest flower in the world, opening petal by petal, revealing the developing personality within. -Robert Klose
Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It’’s something quite magical. -Nicole Kidman
Adoptive Mom? I am Mom. I need no other label or prefix. -Joanne Greco
It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other. -Joan McNamara
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better. -Richard Fischer

Words of Inspiration
Theme is .....Gratitude
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” — Thornton Wilder
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer
“He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” — Epictetus
“Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted–a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.” — Rabbi Harold Kushner
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” — Denis Waitley
