Little Miracles

I have so much to be grateful for this holiday season and an grateful I got to be with my family for Thanksgiving. My grandparents came to my parents' house as well as my aunt and uncle and a few of their grown kids. I sure missed Cameron but he was working hard and we are so grateful he now has a job. He started working for a company on Monday Nov 21 and has been working a lot of hours since then. His spirits are good even though he is getting very little sleep some days and I am so lucky to be married to such a great guy.

Our other little miracle is that I get to fly out to New York next Monday to meet the birth mother of our little boy who I will call "C". I'll even get to go to the doctor with her while I am there so I am so excited. Cameron wishes he could come but it's just not possible at this point. Fortunately, C is very understanding and is looking forward to at least meeting one of us before baby is born. Stay tuned for details of my visit in my next post.

I love my family!

November so far

Cameron left for North Dakota last Tuesday and is looking for a contract and taking mandatory safety classes. He is lonely living out of the truck but we get to talk and text a lot. He went to church today and said there were a ton of guys there in his same situation. I am lonely at home too and came to my parents' house this weekend. Braden played a football game in the mini dome in Pocatello on Saturday and they won their game against New Plymouth! Now they play for the state championship game next Friday in Moscow! It was a pretty excited game and they didn't even have a winning season until that game. Pretty cool. I also got to go to church with my parents which I never get to do because of my calling in the young women's. It was stake conference today for us so it worked out.

We are still hoping to adopt the baby boy in New York in February and we continue to keep in touch with the birth mother. She was 26 weeks yesterday. We are pretty excited and will hopefully get to fly out there soon to meet her and her family.

Hopefully the next three months go by fast!
