This year Adam and I decided to begin pursuing adoption with a new adoption agency. This ended up being a timely decision because our current agency, LDS Family Services, will no longer be offering full service adoption agency services. I believe we began the process in May and our family goal was to be done with everything by the end of May. Well, we officially became active the last couple of weeks and we feel very optimistic and excited.
American Adoptions Profile
Our adoption fund needs to grow significantly with this new agency. One sad thing about losing LDS family services is that their adoptions were subsidized. Adam started a fund raising web page for us.

Keep following our story. I think that there are exciting things in our future!

Utah Weekend
A couple of weekends ago we went to Utah for one of Adam's cousin's weddings. We were honored to be able to attend the Jordan River temple with them and watch as they were sealed together for time and all eternity. I am so glad that I am sealed to my best friend forever too.
That weekend we were also able to watch one of our 5 year old niece's soccer games. Hilarious!
I'm convinced that I would be an AWESOME soccer mom and Adam would be a great soccer coach! We cheered so loud. At one point our niece was the goalie. The coach told her at half time that she would be putting her in. Adam told her that if she kept out all of the goals, he would buy her an ice cream cone. Then he took her out to the goal and showed her what to do.
She kept out all of the goals (some of the balls just bounced right off of her) and ended up with a nice ice cream cone at the end.
After the game, a quick ice cream cone, and a quick lunch, we all went to Seven Peaks and had an awesome time. Then when Adam and I headed back to Idaho we stopped to visit his Grandpa who seems to be doing so much better. We also grabbed some delicious juicy peaches at a fruit stand. Yum! I'm so sad that the summer is coming to an end and that Adam went back to school today. However, he is one step closer to bringing home the bacon! Love him!

In Touch With Our Inner Child
This was the weekend in which we got back into touch with our inner child. We stayed up LATE reminiscing, talking about everything under the sun, and giggling with 2 of Adam's sisters until 2:30 am! The lack of sleep was so worth it! Then, just 8 hours later, we played hard on a giant water slide. A lot of the kiddos liked to pile onto Adam's back to ride down the slide. He probably had even more fun they did!
