our entire lives changed in April when we got the call from the agency that a birth mom wanted to meet us. It was in that moment that I knew this story was meant to be ours. Two and a half months later we finally welcomed our baby girl into the world (this past Thursday, [...]

…anybody home?
Why hello, world! I am in fact here and, I’ve learned something terribly tragic. When my husband is out of town I have zero balance in my life.
He’s been gone for 2 weeks.
(I feel like I can finally write that now that he’s only hours from being home. (didn’t want any boogie men showing [...]

It is such a huge day today. I didn’t quite picture it like this, but nevertheless here’s how it’s playing out:

The written notes from middle school, the yearbooks, the journals, [...]
