This last week was very eventful for our family. We went to court and signed the final adoption papers; I had no clue I would cry as much as I did. Then we traveled to Elko Nevada to celebrate Thanksgiving with Garrick's family. We had a wonderful time, and the kids were so good to travel such a long distance. Most importantly, we went to the temple together and we were sealed. In our church we believe that families are forever, it is the central part of our faith. We ended this amazing day with a luncheon with all of our family. I love my husband and children so much.

My son is turning six months old soon. For most children this might not be a big day, but because Gavin was adopted, for us it is when we can officially call him ours. It is thrilling to know that we are so close to the end of this emotional road, yet I do not want to lose touch with his birth mother. Garrick and I quickly grew to love her and we know that is was God that brought us together. So I start this blog for her so that she can be apart of us still.
