<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">So sorry for such a gap in our
posting! Life has definitely taken a bit of a change for us. I was going to
post about Thanksgiving and then Christmas but my Christmas photos were erased
off of Sean's computer. Then I just didn't feel like posting and one excuse ran
into another. I am finally ready to share though some of the most exciting news
that has happened to us. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On February 14, 2012, I was
planning on giving blood at my work that day since they were doing a blood
drive. Well out of habit since my period hadn't started yet I decided to take a
pregnancy test, just to make sure. Well out of the 6+ years of being infertile,
I figured it would be negative, like all the other tests that I had taken in
the past. So I peed on the stick and then left it and when on with my morning
routine. Well a few minuets later I looked at it and couldn't believe my eyes!
It was POSITIVE!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I always wondered how I would
react if I found out that I was pregnant and I was totally in shock. I couldn't
believe it! Well Sean knew that I was taking the test that morning, so I texted
him and said "Happy Valentine’s Day! Guess what? We’re PREGNANT!" It
was followed up with a picture of the positive test. He couldn't believe it
either. Once the initial shock wore off, we took two more pregnancy tests just
to make sure and both came back positive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Well we wanted to make sure that
this was something that was actually happening so we didn't really tell anyone
about it until we had our first Dr appointment on May 1st. We couldn't help but
cry a little when we saw our little baby up on the ultrasound screen. This
truly is a miracle! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We are sorry it has taken us this
long to announce on here that we are pregnant and many of you already know via
Facebook. We really wanted to make sure this was really happening before we mad
the whole announcement. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On May 23rd <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">we were able to see our baby girl via ultrasound.
It truly is such a blessing!<br />
<br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Over the last year we ha</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">ve learned so much about adoption and it will always have a
very special spot in our hearts. There are so many good women and men out there
that choose to place their child into a family through adoption and help make
dreams come true. I have learned that no matter what, adoption is not a cake
walk but is totally worth it.<br />
<br />
We don't know what the future has in store for our little family but we are
excited for the journey ahead of us.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for your support and willingness to help us grow our family!</span></span> </span></div>

Every year at work we have what is called a Fall kick off, this is where all the admissions representative from Broadview University, get together and talk about what happened over the last school year and about what our goals and the out look are for the next year. Usually they also have prizes that they give away. Well this year among the prizes was a trip to Las Vegas to watch Boise State play University of Nevada Las Vegas. Well thinking it would be fun but not getting my hopes up I last minuet, threw one of my tickets in the bucket for this prize. Well as the time came for this to be drawn, I barely looked at the ticket and then I realized they had called my number. I couldn't believe I had actually won! Some people had put all there tickets in that bucket and with one I ended up winning. So on November 3 we headed out for a fun weekend in Vegas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
We had to drive to Twin Falls to fly out because that is where our tickets were purchased from. It was fun to see all the Boise State Fans there and the Plain was packed. This whole weekend was organized by a local radio station and it was in celebration of one of there radio personalities. Being in a group of people like that was defiantly interesting and fun.</div>

The next morning we decided that it was going to be rather expensive to eat here and so we signed up to go see a Time share presentation. It was actually a pretty neat presentation and if we were in the market to do a time share we may have taken up the offer. I took about 4 hours of our time but we got paid $200 in casino money that we could use for food and then discounted tickets to see a couple of exhibits. We were able to see the Bodies Exhibit and the Titanic exhibit. I think we both liked the Titanic one the best. <br />

That night we went to a restaurant called Nob Hill, in the MGM Grand Hotel. It was really good and it was fun to spend a lot on dinner but not really have to pay for it. </div>

That night we got all dressed up and headed to a club. Yes we went to a club. Neither of us had ever been to one so we decided since we could get in for free we would go check it out. It was fun to dress up but lets just say the club seen really isn't our thing. If you don't drink and you didn't go with a group of friends, clubs are a bit lame. <br />

Las Vegas from the Stadium.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning we were up early and heading to the airport to catch the flight home. It was great to have a couple days off from work and to spend so much time together. We did agree though that Vegas is not a place you go if you are wanting to have a relaxing vacation, there is too much to see and to do in Las Vegas!</div>

On Oct. 22, 2011 we were able to go watch Sean's alma mater and current school go head to head. Although Sean is currently attending Idaho State, he is and will always be a BYU fan. We were able to get tickets to the game through Sean's best friend from high school, Josh. It was a lot of fun to hang out with Josh and watch football at the same time. </div>

This fall, right before Halloween, I decided that I needed a change. My hair was getting so long that it was starting to drive me crazy. Not to mention the fact that it was just was starting to not look as healthy as it could be. So I decided that I was going to whack it all off. Well Sean didn't want to see it all go so we compromised, I decided on only cutting 15 inches. Here are some before and after pictures:</div>

While Sean was gone and over the fall I took advantage of the all the fruit around where we live. I was browsing Craigslist one day and a family had a few apricot trees that they had to much fruit on the for their family, so they were allowing people to come pick them for free. It was very nice of them and I got some very big apricots. The apricots that I'm used to from where I grew up where about half the size of these apricots.</div>

Once they have been boiled I put them through my food strainer, which separates the skins and strings from the juice.

Making Apple sauce is very similar to the apricot juice that I had made earlier. You slice them up skin, seeds, and all and throw them into a pot, boil them and then send them through the food strainer. </div>

I ended with 28 jars of Apple sauce and about 8 trays of dried apples. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through out the canning season we were blessed with canned cherries, pears, peaches, apricots, apple sauce and a few different kinds of jam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although canning is hard work, I'm grateful my mom taught me how to can and preserve fruit. I know at the time I wasn't grateful but I am now :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I have always known that I have had food allergy but it seams as I have gotten older these allergies have been a lot more pronounced. I have decided to try going wheat/gluten free for a while and see if it makes a difference. Over conference weekend I decided to go out on a limb and try making gluten free cinnamon rolls. This is how they looked. </div>

They were tasty but as you can tell, they don't look like the flaky puffy cinnamon rolls that either of us is used to. Since I used rice flour they were also very heavy, making them extremely filling. I think next time I'm going to try only making half as many! </div>

<span style="color: black;">In August, we had the chance to go hang out with my brother Brad and his children. Angie and Brad came over for Angie's 10th class reunion and so we all jumped at the opportunity to see them. On our way over there we picked up my nephew and he and Parley got to hang out in the back seat. Jr loved having Parley around and Parley loved having a lap, even if it was a small lap. :) </span></div>

I absolutely love this boy! Since he was named after my Grandfathers middle name, for the purpose of this blog, he is going be known as Jr. He is my oldest brothers boy, the first born nephew and he is my little buddy! While Sean was gone, I got to hang out with him for a while, which is always blessing. </div>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472633845635286009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817163594881869016.post-47636069943970927982011-10-07T18:07:00.000-07:002011-10-07T18:08:31.334-07:00Water, fun and muscles<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I am absolutely in love with my cousins! While Sean was gone they came out to visit Boise for a couple weeks. My Uncle owns a business out here and he needed to come do some business. Well I got to really enjoy there company. It was perfect to have them out here because, first they are awesome, and second they kept me busy so I didn't miss Sean so much. While they were here, they took me with them to Roaring Springs, which is a water park here. I had to take a picture of the boy flexing. </div>

We had a lot of fun. Little J and the big boom were really good with most of all the rides. Big boom was really funny because he was really worried about going on this ride that got really dark because you go through a tunnel but once he did it he wanted to keep doing it. Also the little lady and I had a lot of fun hanging out in the wave pool. She did so good!<br />

One of the things that my Uncle is a big fan of is swaddling. He has told me several times that swaddling babies is the best thing ever. Well I guess it is a tradition that has kept going well past infancy. These kids love to swaddled up! </div>

<br />
This was the first time that I had ever been to Lake Tahoe and it was well worth the 10 hour drive. My sisters husband's uncle has a town house near the lake which we were allowed to use. It was wonderful to be so close to the lake and take advantage of all the wonderful things around there.<br />
<br />
After work on Thursday, I hopped into the car and started the trek to the lake. I was able to get to the town house a little before midnight and waited for Maria and Mitch to arrive.<br />
<br />
On Friday we celebrated Maria's birthday! We started off the day with a bit of hiking. We were trying to get to Shirley Lake but with out a map and with poor markers, we ended up never making it to the lake, but we saw some beautiful sights:<br />

At this restaurant it was kind of like a Mongolian grill. You would get a bowl full of meat and vegetables, then pick a sauce and take it all over to this circular grill they had in the middle of the restaurant. Then the cooks would take your food and throw it onto the grill. You would also get a little bit of a show while you were waiting because the cooks would throw bowls around the grill, and flip the food in magnificent ways.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

On Monday, we all said our goodbyes and headed our separate directions. Driving home was fairly uneventful, which is always nice. Once I got home though, it was really fun to watch all of the fireworks that were let go right around our house! There were quite a few of them the were set off and it beautiful to see.<br />
<br />
It was a wonderful weekend and it was great to spend some time with my sister and her husband, get to enjoy natures beauty, celebrate birthdays, and our freedom. The only thing that was missing was Sean but I know that he was doing what he needed to be doing and that being apart would all be worth it in the end!<br />

It has been suggested that we combine this blog with our family blog so you all can get to know our family just a little better. Hopefully this will give you a chance to get to know us on a more personal, real and daily level. From now on we will be posting a lot more on here!<br />
<br />
We are excited for you to get to know us better and to get a glimpse of our life!<br />

I came to a conclusion today, although I have had this thought before, today it tied everything together: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Adoption is all about Family!</span><br />
<br />
When you have a family, you understand the joys, the pain and love that can only be felt in that family unit. To be able to help our family grow, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">we have been blessed</span> with the opportunity to find our children through the process of adoption. Yes I did say blessed. I feel blessed because I have been challenged in ways that I never knew were possible and have grow immensely because of those challenges. Although I may not ever be able to carry my children in my womb, I feel extremely blessed because when our children inter our family though adoption, we will not be growing our family with just children, but with their birth parents as well. I say that because they will always be an <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">integral part</span> of what makes up our family.<br />
<br />
I am so grateful for a father in heaven who knows us so <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">individually</span> and understands what we need to help us be the best that we can be. I have always been the type of person who is there to serve others and take care of everyone else but when it comes to serving me, I didn't need it because I could do it on my own.<br />
<br />
When turning to the decision to adopt, I realized that being able to have my own children was something that I personally was not going to be able to do. For a while this was something I struggled with because it is very hard for me feel like I need the service of someone else. But I now understand that for me to be able to be a mother I must allow someone to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">serve</span> me in a way that I will <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">never be able to repay them</span>.<br />
<br />
Although I will never fully understand the emotions that a birth mother and father may go through when they allow their baby to be adopted, I do feel that it is a completely selfless service that they are giving.<br />
<br />
I feel that this<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> service or sacrifice </span>is similar to that which Christ made for each and everyone of us. He suffered in the garden of Gethsemane, bleeding from every pore, for our sins. He then hung on the cross and died so that we all my live again. That sacrifice was made because we could not have done it for our selves. He came to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">be our savor</span> and to provide a way that we could be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">happy </span>in this life and return home to our father in heaven. The atonement wasn't something that we could do but it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">had to be done by our brother</span>, Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
Although <u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">extremely difficult</span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">,</span> birth parents make a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">huge</span> sacrifice for their unborn child and for the family that is adopting that child. It is not something that they have to do but they understand that it is about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">something bigger then themselves</span>. Because of their completely selfless act I someday will be a mother and Sean will be a father. Because of this choice that they will make, our family will grow and like the sacrifice that Christ made on our behalf, their sacrifice for us will never be forgotten. </div>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472633845635286009noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817163594881869016.post-90226772604502007902011-06-24T21:56:00.001-07:002011-06-24T21:56:56.748-07:00formspring.meAsk me anything <a href="http://formspring.me/shaunaandsean" target="_blank">http://formspring.me/shaunaandsean</a>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472633845635286009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817163594881869016.post-82567635196922627152011-06-16T21:32:00.000-07:002011-06-16T21:32:19.721-07:00Tell one tell all<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><u>We are approved<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">!</span></u></span> Our profile went live today on </span><a href="http://www.itsaboutlove.org/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">www.itsaboutlove.org</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.

It means <span style="color: black;">that we</span> have passed the home study and <u>we are eligible to adopt</u> a child and in our case we are hoping to adopt an infant. When going through LDS Family Services, once you are approved they post your profile, on their website and your profile is available to be shown to anyone considering adoption for their child through LDS Family Services. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now that our profile is live, it means we wait for a birthmother and father to pick us to be their child’s parents. We have been asked several times this question, “What is the average wait to be selected?” Since we are waiting to be picked, it is a tricky question to answer. The average wait is 1-2 years but some are picked within weeks of their profile being activated while others have waited for 5+ years. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is where your help comes in; <u>the more people that know that we are adopting the sooner we may be able to become parents</u>. If you are a blogger, please add our button to your blog. If you know of someone who is considering adoption, please pass on our information, send them to our blog or our profile. Even if you don’t know of anyone keeping us in your prayers would help us immensely. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We want to thank you all for your support in helping us find our children. Our hearts are full and we are excited for what the future holds. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have any questions about us, our family, our likes, our dislikes, our quirks, about infertility, about adoption or really anything, please don’t hesitate to ask us. After going through infertility and now the adoption home study, there really isn’t anything that can be asked that would offend us. So please ask away! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Thank you</span> all again for your support!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you liked to see our profile: </span><a href="https://www.itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/26165029/ourMessage.jsf"><span style="font-family: inherit;">https://www.itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/26165029/ourMessage.jsf</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also our profile number is 26165029.</span></div></div>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472633845635286009noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817163594881869016.post-44358523690527361102011-06-08T23:07:00.000-07:002011-06-08T23:07:49.232-07:00Check.

When my finger prints had come back cleared, Sean’s were rejected. We quickly got him back in to be reprinted but they informed us that it may take 30-60 days to get his fingerprints back. I was pretty bummed about that news but kept praying that they would come back quickly. Well after the long weekend was over we were very surprised to see that we had gotten an email stating that Sean’s fingerprints were cleared! This was truly a blessing in our adoption process. This also allowed us to move onto the next step with the interviews and completing the home study. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our home study should be completed by Monday and we will then hopefully be approved by end of the next week!</span></div></div>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03472633845635286009noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817163594881869016.post-16847313429210290432011-05-22T22:15:00.000-07:002011-05-22T22:15:05.118-07:00Finishing paperwork!<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>So we have finished all the wonderful paper work that is required for Phase 2.
