I know no news is good news sometimes but I sure wish I had something.
I got nothin'.
Well, other than the fact I am now the young women's president in my ward, and now that it has been a couple of months I think it has sunk in and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of things. This calling was a shocker but I love it. I do miss my nursery kids though. If I could just have some kids of my own missing my nursery kids would go away.
Darn kids. Darn timing. Darn waiting. and waiting, and waiting. Waiting is getting a little old and I am starting to feel like I want to just give up but something keeps me going.
As hard as it is to think I might not be able to have children on my own I think I am finally okay with the idea of starting the paperwork for adoption. I have seen a few blogs lately that talk about adoption and those who have been blessed because of it.
I have to apologize to my family for not telling them this first but I think if I just get this out while I feel like I can't hold it in any longer it will be good. And I am realizing as I sit here crying that I am holding in WAY too many feelings, emotions, heart ache, and dreams.
Wow, talk about opening your heart out to the whole world. ah.
On a less emotional level, we planted our garden last weekend, thanks to Mike's mom and dad and Dawna. Thank you for coming to visit. It was good to hear from Curtis and Leigh too. And Grandma Lil. I love Sundays because of church and the opportunity to talk to family. Not that we can't or don't during the week but that is our scheduled time. and I love it.
We planted tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, pickling cucumbers, corn, potatoes, peas, carrots and onions. I can already taste the crunchy carrots now, freshly cleaned of the garden dirt.
yum.

my thoughts and prayers are with you, kari.
Oh Kari, how long does it take to drive from Raymond to your house? I want to come give you a big hug. I was going to suggest my friend Christal's blog about adoption, but I see someone else also knows their story with their three adoptions!!! You are both so deserving of every happiness and I hope that you get to enjoy it soon. Until then, you will be an AWESOME YW prez. It even makes me want to go back to YW just so I can have you as a leader. Except that would me going back to High School as well, which is not too thrilling of a prospect.
Love the cherries!
Hugs ad Kisses and a listening ear. Come get them when you are ready.
you need to call me when you feel yucky pooey and tired of 'waiting'. we in the adoption world call it 'finding' time though. remember you can do it. i always thought, 'hey, things could be A LOT worse' spend all the time you can with mike and doing the things you love now, for every time there is a season, blah, blah, blah... your time will come. and sometimes with kids you can't devote as much time to your callings and serving others. what a blessing these girls have you all to themselves! read lindsey's blog... she rocks in the adoption world here in slc.
