Sorry I haven't blogged lately. Guess I'm enjoying summer a bit too much. I'm currently in Cleveland (again) and can't believe that summer is 1/2 over already!
I've been enjoying my days off with friends, laughter, and adult beverages. :-) It has been relaxing. Life is just life...I keep chugging along and continue to hold my head up and keep a smile on my face.
John and I have made a final decision. I'm happy we are at this point that we can safely say that we are NOT going to do donor eggs or embryo adoption. We are ready to start the adoption application process. It is a daunting task, and I'm feeling VERY overwhelmed, but I know that friends who have done it before me will lend their expertise and knowledge and that will make the process easier for us. First John and I will need to find an agency. Once that starts, we'll apply and get our homestudy done. I don't know when this will all take place, but we're anxious and excited and extremely nervous.
Other than that...just two weeks until we leave for VEGAS!!!!!!! My incredible parents got me two tickets to see "Blue Man Group" for my birthday...and John and I are in the front row!!!! :-) Other than that we have a trip to Hoover Dam planned and a lot of sitting by the pool at the Flamingo on our agenda. Sure we'll gamble and go to all the casino's and take in the sights, but just time for the two of us is what we are so excited about.
Until next time.........

I'm so glad you guys have made a decision that you are satisfied with. You are going to make wonderful parents, and you're going to give a child an opportunity that he/she wouldn't have otherwise had. Adoptive parents are wonderful, amazing people, and I am so glad you are going to join those ranks.
Have fun in Cleveland!
That's great that you made a decision about adoption!
We just got back from a trip to Vegas...you are going to have so much fun there! I have pictures on my blog if you want to check them out!
Have a great time!
Kisses In The Wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are...what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin.
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May Gold hold you in his hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
May God wrap you in his arms and hold you very tight,
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
I think you're doing the right thing, Kristen. Your child is just waiting to find you. xox

I am glad that you and John have been able to come to a decision that leaves you at peace. I am so excited for the phase of your journey!
Have sooooo much fun in Vegas!
I'm glad that you've come to a decision that you are happy with. Any child will be blessed to be brought into your (our) family and you are such an amazing person for opening your heart to someone who needs your love! :) Hugs!
I can't wait for you guys to have a great time in Vegas and to "break John in" a little! :)
That is amazing!!! So glad you came to a decision. GL with finding your agency and I hope the process that brings you your baby is very smooth.
((HUGS))
There's a great feeling of lightness when that decision is made - I know I felt light as a feather when we chose adoption rather than the invasiveness of assisted reproduction. I hope you feel that way, too.
Been to Cleveland... *snore* :)
Keep us posted.
