Vacations, Free Time

We do love to vacation and enjoy our free time. I am a big fan of cruising. On Princess Cruise lines I currently have 34 cruises under my belt. I love everything about it. Our kids have also fallen in love with cruising. We try and take one or two a year during school breaks. We also love going to the beach house in San Diego and to our cabin in Utah. We have so many wonderful family memories there.

Celebrating my parents 50th Anniversary

We just returned home from my parents 50th. My whole family plus some wonderful friends all joined us to wish my parents a happy 50th. We threw them a Wedding shower, recreated their wedding and ended with a wedding reception that will not be forgotten. I am so thankful for my family and friends. It's wonderful to be able to get together and share these exciting occasions together. I also want to thank everyone for all the cute dresses and gifts you bought for my special little girl. I can't wait till we find her and she is able to enjoy all the goodies. Auntie Lane thank so soooooo much for the adorable quilt. She is going to love it. She also has her first Cruise t-shirt. I can't wait to see her in that one. ;00 Love you all so much. Thank you again for such a wonderful cruise.

Empty Arms: Thoughts of a caring birth mother and adoptive parents

Empty Arms:

(Birth mother)
It’s not a choice that anyone should ever have to make And I hope someday you’ll come to know I did it for your sake
I knew from the beginning you deserved a chance to live,
But in my heart I knew you would need more than I could give.
I prayed that God would strengthen me to do what I must do. And I made a choice that I believed would be the best for you, For I loved you with a special love that only parents know, A kind of pure unselfish love that helped me let you go.
I knew my empty arms would hurt me through the years, And thoughts of all that might have been would often bring a tear,But I had peace amid the struggle, for in my heart I knewThere were loving arms and caring hands waiting hopefully for you.And I knew what I must do.

(Adoptive Parents)
So many years we’ve waited for a child to call our own.The sorrow in our aching hearts was known to God alone.Through tears and faith and lonely days this blessing was withheld And then we realized our child must come through someone else.
We prayed that she would have the strength to let her baby live,And share with us the tender gift that she alone could give.Then we waited for a miracle, it’s all that we could do,
Just praying there would come a day that wishes would come true.Because our empty arms have hurt us through the years, And thoughts of all that might have been would often bring a tear, But we felt hope amid the struggle, for in our hearts we knewThere could be an angel mother who could make all our dreams come true.Now we know that it was you.We know your empty arms may hurt you through the years, And thoughts of all that might have been may sometimes bring a tear,But may God protect and bless you and help your heart endure,Knowing those who love your little one will have empty arms no more.

(Birth mother)

I loved you with a special love that only parents know;
A kind of pure unselfish love that helped me let you go.
