I have been so excited lately!! Alan and I decided to buy a house and then we decided to finally adopt kids (but we gotta have the house first) then we decided to build a house. So many fun and exciting things, right?? Right...but I haven't been able to share these cool things with mom. I was at home alone last night and I just started thinking about how much I haven't been able to share with her. I think about when my sisters were talking about not being able to tell mom about a new job or about going to school and I can say I really understand...there isn't anyone out there who would be able to understand like mom...
This weekend I'm going to go to Great Falls, my mother-in-law is going to be speaking at a Mother's Day brunch at her church. I will admit, I am a little sad, scared, uneasy...not because of anything that has to do with Barb, but only because this is my first mother's day with my own mom.

Me & Alan
Yep, this is me
I started this blog as part of a training, but then it ended up becoming a blog about my feelings surrounding my mom's death. It has been very good for me to get my feelings out, even if nobody reads it.

About Me
- alan & chairsty
- We have been married for just almost 19 years now. We were pretty young when we got married, but we knew it was what we wanted to do and what were were committed to, so at the tender ages of 17 and 21 we hit the road, went to Coeur D'Alaine, ID and got married. I (chairsty) can't imagine what people thought! Any how, we always knew we would adopt, always. It was never in our thoughts to have kids of our "own." We finally decided to get serious about adopting after our church partnered with an orphanage in Ethiopia. So, two years ago we decided if we were going to have kids, we better have a house and we built a house. Now we are on to building our family :) We "plan" to adopt two boys in the 5 to 7 year old range from Ethiopia, but God's plans our not always what we expect, so we are open to whatever HE has for us.
