Staring a new path...

Well its been awhile since I have updated our blog.  Life has just been going a million miles a hour, so please forgive me.  But I am very committed to keeping up with our blog so I can document the new journey our family is taking.   We are becoming foster parents!  I am so super excited!  As you recall Bryan and I have to find other means to have children then the normal way.  Thats right imagine that ME do something NOT NORMAL!  Crazy huh ;)  Well it was a decision we really had to think about.  Was foster care the right path for us?  How would Kirianna take it?  Would we have the time and energy to give some child the love and attention they need?  So many things to consider, but the biggest thing is I have felt very prompted that this is what our family needs to do at this time.  

Of course it hasn't been a walk in the park to get everything lined up but things are working out.  I was at a point where it was the best thing for me to quit my job and the orthodontic office. So that was great, but then got another infection in my pacemaker that lead to them taking it out!  Although I LOVE having that box gone my doctors do not like the idea of me being "unprotected".  So I am trying to wait patiently to be sent off to Arizona for a new procedure (which I will explain when it finally happens).  I wish they would hurry up the process to get my surgery done. But the slowness has aloud Bryan and I to take PRIDE Classes.  PRIDE is classes that we have had to take to become foster parents.  We have our last two classes on Tuesday and Thursday this week and have our home study on Thursday also!  So we are almost legit foster parents!  So now the waiting for a child to be placed in our home begins! 

I have learned so much these past months. Its amazing that I even complain about anything because to sit down and look and how much the Lord has blessed me and my family it humbles me so much.  I have been given far to much and I am so grateful for it!  I wish I could explain everything that is in my heart  because it is so full right now! I just want to express my gratitude for my amazing family!  They are the best! I know that the Lord is so aware of my struggles that I face and that he has provided me with the blessing of having  a knowledge of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.  I am so grateful for the power or the priesthood that has been restored and that has blessed me so much!  I am especially grateful to know the plan that Heavenly Father has for me and all is children.  The knowledge that i will someday return to live with him with a perfect body and I get to spend Eternity with my family!  I am one lucky person that I can spend Forever with my husband and also Kirianna and all the children we will be blessed with !  I love Bryan so much!  He is so amazing!  I am just so EXCITED to see what is in store for our little family!
