Marshall and I have been married for 7 years! We have a daughter named Libby. We dream of traveling, retireing early and adopting. We can't have anymore children, somedays that makes me sad. But I know there are ways around it. So that is where this story begins. In january of 2010 we found out that having anymore children of our own, was out of the question. So we prayed and prayed, and decided that adoption was the next step in life. We have been so blessed with the roller coaster that it has provided, and hope that the ride continues to be all we hoped it would be.

The first 2 are obvious but the second was a quilt made for my grandmother when she got married but the ward members. It is hand stitched blocks with dates and names.

Someone or something that made me laugh this week was: Someone told me that I was not as emotional as the women he knows. He asked why. I laughed and said I was nice and normal because I thought they deserved to see that side of me. He said thanks and I still am laughing about it.

My earliest memory is: Of playing at my grandparents home. We were Easter egg hunting on the hill in the back yard that was a forest. I was with my cousins and we were all laughing.

My first paying job was: Baby sitting for a neighbor with 4 kids. I was excited that someone would trust me to care for their family.

My best birthday was: When I turned 14. My parents gave me my presents throughout the day. I really think it is a great idea and try to do the same for Marshall and Libby

A smell that reminds me of my childhood is: Chocolate chip cookies. I always helped make cookies every Sunday and then taught my sibling how. They still have cookies every Sunday.
