4 years-Caution Long Post!

When we started our journey 4 years ago we had no idea of the adventures that laid before us..Young, in-love engaged couple with no worries.... I Loved everything about our wedding and reception- it was perfectly planned the way I wanted it!Bought our first house for $80,000 less than it was worth- we were so smart! First homes are so hard, but we like ours- mostly!Took us over a year to get pregnant the first time- miscarried at 9 weeksI worked at Albertsons for 6 years- climbed the ladder to Grocery manager- then Quit! Did every fertility treatment in the book, acupuncture, herbs, teas, hormones...Had surgery to find out what was wrong!Bought out puppy Bruce- Love that boy!!!Got Pregnant a few more times- all ending in miscarriage- time to get serious!Did an IUI- had en ectopic pregnancy- had Chemotherapy to remove it from my tube! Malachi has worked for 4 different HVAC companies- but has worked for Pacific Air Systems for over 2 years!




Missionaries lived in our basement- that was really fun!Malachi and I got to spend a lot of One-on-One time together, going on dates, hanging out...Now starts our LONG Journey to adoption- Starting with LDS family services, then DSHSWe Finally got to meet the kids- and they got to come live with us!It took us a long time to build our family, and we hit MANY BUMPS along the way---Now we are a happy family of 5 (Remember Bruce) and on the road to being a eternal family!




I hope the next 4 years are more uneventful...

Happy 4 Years! You guys have been through a lot but who hasn't?! And I doubt life will slow down. You now have your kids but now they will bring all of the craziness to your life! haha. They are super cute. "She" gave my grandma a hug at the tea party this week and my grandma just thought she was the sweetest thing! You guys are lucky, that is for sure.
