Big Sky!

Well, Todd and I went on our trip to Big Sky, Montana and had a blast! On our way up we stopped in Yellowstone for a day and hung out at Firehole and Old Faithful. It was super fun! We left Yellowstone in the early evening and continued our drive up to Big Sky, but we stopped at a campground along the way and stayed the night there in our car. We had a gorgeous camp spot right on the Gallatin River and we just chilled and played games and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The next day we met up with Todd's whole family (including Todd's parents who are up in Billings, Montana, on a mission) and just partied from that point on! We went biking, hiking, walking, swimming, and played a bunch of games. Not to mention, we ate a TON! All in all, it was a successful trip and we loved seeing mom and dad again after 8 long months! I think we'd all love to go back one day and do it again.

Ready for Baby!

We've been meaning to make this announcement for a while now! After lots of prayers and careful consideration, we've decided it's time to bring a baby into our home through adoption! We are so ready for a baby, and we think that adoption is such a great blessing and opportunity. The fact that someone out there would want us to raise their child is absolutely amazing and such a great compliment. We've already started the whole process with LDS Family Services and hope to be completely approved by early September, meaning we could have a baby ANY TIME after that! Scary, but very exciting! We haven't given up trying to get pregnant, but we just know that we are meant to have more than one or two kids, and we have come to realize we might not get ALL of them the good ol' conventional way. So, we're trying to be patient for just a little longer and are just imagining I'm pregnant without a due date! Wish us luck and we'll keep you all posted!
