blaaaahhhh

i did it.  i gave in.

i saw twilight with paige...now i feel like i am part of the cult.

and...now i'm terrified that someone is going to watch me in my sleep.

i'm a weiny...i don't do scary.  i don't do suspenseful. i don't like mean.  i hate vampires.

so why was the story line so amazing!!!??!!!

i guess i fall hard for a great love story...reminds me of hubs!  so, i say bring on the next one, whatever it's called...i'm a twilight virgin, so just bear with me.

ok, edward looks cute and his skin sparkles, but he's a vampire!!!  hello!!

in the first 3 minutes, i screamed

i yelled with all my might, "you go, edward" during the fight scene

i did the "bury the head in the shirt" and say over and over, "i hate scary, paige. i hate scary.  i don't do scary."

speaking of good...thanksgiving was good. (terrible transition, but oh well. it's my blog. right?) the fam was great.  the girls played like bandits on a train...food was good.  we are so stinking blessed it's not even funny.  thank you, lord...just thank you.

and, brooke asked to take a shot of me and r on wed night...and this is what she caught.  pretty fun...

national adoption awareness month

so, how do you know if adoption is right for you?  i have to say that getting pregnant was a much easier decision (although not outcome...9 years, really?).  

first, adoption is a lifetime decision...it's  kid for pete's sake!  

second, it is a journey.  if you haven't read my 'australia post', you should...it's the best description of the journey we call adoption.

third, it's an uncertain road...and even though your el eggo is not el prego, you are most definitely pregnant in paperwork, and man, does that put on some pounds.  it's different and people will give you their opinions...it's a little different than the stranger belly rub when a woman is pregnant, because it never really ends.

fourth, you will def be led to adoption.  things will fall in place for you with the right birth mom and birth family.  i can tell you that our birth moms are the perfect ones for us...and our kids, well, they are sooo us.  god totally has a major sense of humor on this one.

{here are my two kiddos that are adopted with their bmoms...see the love there?}

fifth, be knowledgeable but wait.  read ur bible.  pray. read books on adoption.  talk to friends.  talk to adoptive families.  and lastly, make YOUR OWN decision.

for a more professional's viewpoint on making the adoption decision, check adoption.com.

questions...email me.  i'll try my best.  i can at least listen...
