I have been thinking about change alot lately. How some people are okay with it and others can't stand it. I have always been a person that deals with changes pretty well. I like new experiences and just a change in scenery sometimes. There are many changes heading in mine and Kyle's direction for this coming year. Number one change would be bringing a child into our home. We have always been pretty active people but we know with bringing a child into the picture things will slow done quite a bit. We are definitely both okay with this. It will just be a new experience. As I sit here writing this it makes me very nervous and and unsure at my ability to be a Mom. Especially to a child who has more than likely been through so much. This is something that I have been praying about very regularly. Every time I start worrying about it, I pray for God to calm me. I want this to be a great experience not one of worry and fear.
Other changes in our lives have varied from Kyle working two jobs to friendship changes. Not because of anything that happened between us and these friends but because it seems we just have grown apart. Went in different directions. It isn't no one's fault. This does happen but sometimes I think about how much I miss these people, but then I realize that God has a purpose for everything in our lives. We have some great friends in our lives. One's that have stepped up and been there for us when others left. We are truly grateful for these friends and I believe you know who you are :-) We do truly long for a married couple that will take us in as friends. A couple that we have alot in common with... I know that God can answer any prayers and this is one that I do have.
There is one more change that I haven't mention and will keep to myself at this time. It is one that is very scary to think about but in the end would totally be a blessing to Kyle and I. I do feel God working and leading in this situation and I am truly grateful. All we want in our lives right now is to be in God's will in everything we do. If you will be still He will guide you. You just have to be willing to step back and wait sometimes.
I know that I have gone so many directions in this blog. It probably won't mean a thing to any of you, but it does to me. It helps me get things off my chest :-) Thanks for reading!

- So I decided just a few weeks ago that I wanted to start blogging again. I thought this would be a perfect time with Kyle and I going through the foster/adoption process. We want to be able to keep our family and friends up to date on everything. Kyle is also a great writer and I thought he would be able to blog along with me about things in our lives. We have been married 5 years. It is amazing how fast time goes by. Please pray as we go through this process and we will do our best to keep you all "in the loop"
