It has been a while since we posted anything worth reading. I suppose we have been trying to find our voices again. We had a wonderful time at the adoption conference and left almost feeling like since we were inspired, our time would be coming any day. It has taken a while to realize that it is still not yet our time. I am sure our Birth Mother will know us when she sees us and that we will recognize her but the wait for that time is so long. We are heading to the temple this weekend, perhaps the comfort we find there will extend with us home.
We are also inspired to finish some projects around the house and get ready for summer. We have had so much good news with my neck in the last few weeks and it really feels like things are getting back to normal.
General Conference was amazing and full of good information. They announced that they will be building a temple in Fort Collins, Colorado; which is the town we used to live in before we moved out to the ranch. Still very close as I work in town and we shop there! How exciting. What a wonderful blessing!
We had our wood stove installed and have already saved $600 in propane! We are excited to see how it will work next winter. We have been lucky to use it a few times this year and I can testify that it works very well! As long as we have wood, we shall never be cold! We can even cook on it if need be.
My Mother sang in a church program called "Savior of the World". We went to her Saturday performance. There were about 180 singers and they acted out a play of the birth, life and Resurrection of Jesus. I wish I could go again! They did make a CD and some professional photos were taken. I hope to be able to post some when it is released. However, if you ever have the chance to see it in your town, I strongly recommend you go. You will not be disappointed!
We did get a new puppy. His name is Rex but I call him Smoochie. I will post photos as soon as I have time to pull them off my phone.
We saddled Gunner for the first time last weekend. he was a champ! We were able to put some weight on the saddle and walk him around without issue. I am strongly considering doing his training at home instead of sending him out. My neck is healing, so why not?! We will have to wait to see how he does this summer. I anticipate his first real ride will be in fall.
This spring and summer season are full of promise and activity! I had better get going!!
