two months

two months

Today marks two months since we first saw this little picture. Two months of scurrying around, trying to collect documents, fill out questionnaires, submit fingerprints. Two months of falling in love with this precious face. We, at last, have all our state clearances complete. One, to remain unnamed, state took an outrageously long time additional month to complete our clearances…. Read More

finally

Finally. A moment to sit down and catch my breath. It’s been an insane two weeks. Insane in a really, really good way. First off was my incredible trip to Pioneer Woman’s house.

it was

it was

On our way to the Pioneer Woman’s place… kinda out in the middle of nowheresville. At one point, Colleen and I both needed to use the little girls room. We passed one truck (that’s during the entire time we were on this stretch of road) and they stopped when they saw us. The blue Odyssey must have been a dead… Read More

Going to the ranch!

I’m almost outta here! Not gonna lie, I am the tiniest bit nervous. I might have brushed the dust off the salt scrub in the shower. And used it. And then a few extra swipes of deodorant. Anything I can to avoid actually smelling as nervous as I am feeling. I know it’s going to be a great time, though…. Read More
