4th Of July

Last weekend for the Fourth of July my friend invited me to go to New Mexico for the weekend with him. He grew up in New Mexico and that's where his family all lives. His mom was getting married that weekend and so since I've never been to New Mexico, had nothing else to do, and I'm always up for adventures I agreed to go and accompany him. I'm so glad I did because we seriously had a blast! We left Thursday and came back Sunday night.

 
My friends dog had a girlfriend he got pregnant in New Mexico so we went to visit the one day old boston terriers. SO CUTE. I just about died and it was so hard leaving them without stealing one. (Totally kidding)!

Daniels little sister and I hit it off right off the bat. She was so cute and fun!

Here's her hippy design she made for me. Ha!



 


We went to the white sands national park with some friends we were staying with and it was the most amazing place. Miles and miles of the whitest sand that looked like snow. We rented these plastic disks, waxed the backs, and slid down the steap slopes. So much fun!
                      

  Wedding day!

This picture is the worst quality picture ever but it's the only I got. We drove to El Paso, Texas after the wedding to where our friend Amer dj'd at a club. We powered ourselves up with energy drinks and danced the whole night away! It was a lot of fun.

The car rides around us were my favorite. So beautiful and green.

Here's me prepping for the Zombie apocalypse.






This boulder was so unbelievably comfortable. We layed in this for like a straight hour.

Hiding in caves waiting for Daniel to find me.




This part of the trip was by far my favorite. It is called Rock City located in New Mexico. Supposedly there was a volcano that once erupted and made a city of rocks. The pictures do not give it justice and it's hard to explain. But basically it was a maze of tunnels and caves and well... A city of rocks. I ran around like a 7 year old and had the time of my life! I need to go back someday.

My Adoption Story

Image
I am a sister. I am a friend. I am a daughter. I am a birth mother. And this is my adoption story. I found out I was pregnant December, 2012. Two days after Christmas. For many years, I was struggling. Struggling with finding happiness. Struggling with who I was and who I wanted to be. Struggling with finding my place with my LDS religion I was born and raised into. Struggling with my own personal battles. I wanted to find happiness, and everywhere I looked I couldn't find my place. I couldn't be around people who "uplifted me" because I felt so guilty of the choices I was making at the time. The people I did surround myself with, only just brought me down. I became this person I wasn't raised to be. This person I didn't even recognize anymore. I was lost, confused, and most of all alone. I went to my mother a couple days before Christmas 2012 and told her I wanted to change. I didn't want to feel this way anymore, and I wanted to find myself again. Whatev...

LIFE

Image
Life is really interesting. It's filled with so many ups and down, highs and lows, happy and sad moments. One moment I feel strong and confident that I can get through this, this is just another trial that I can face, and one I will eventually get through. But the next moment I just think to myself, "I am not as strong as I thought. How am I supposed to go on when I feel like I am missing a limb." I look at other birth moms and I sometimes just feel they are so much stronger than me. A birth mom told me something the other day that really stuck out to me. She told me our babies chose to come to this life, and knew what they were to be getting themselves into. Noah chose me to bring him to this world and trusted me to find his family. It instantly brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes I feel like this unimportant machine that was just used to carry and deliver him and place him with his family. But the fact that he chose me and trusted me helps me feel more important. I may ...

One Year

Image
Yesterday marked one year since the birth of Noah. As I reflect on this past year, I can't help but to feel so lucky & so grateful.  These are a few things I am grateful for: 1. The atonement. I can't begin to express how much I love the atonement. I was able to have a fresh new start & for that I am so grateful we can be completely forgiven and renew ourselves and come out stronger than ever before.  2. It's hard to put into words just the amount of love I have for Noah & how grateful I am that he came to me at a time I needed him. I truly believe his first mission in life was to be born through me and save me. I am grateful we will always be a part of eachothers lives. 3. The Danielsons. This is another love I can't quite put to justice. It's a bond I've never quite had before. It's just so trusting and filled with so much love for eachother and for Noah. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to choose them & they...
