Six years {6!!!!} with Rylee B!

I've said it a million times, and I will say it a million more-I CAN'T believe how time flies!

Six years ago this was happening

We remember that day so perfectly.  I maybe forgot the BIG suitcase full of donations from all of our family and friends, I flew out the door and I was ready to go get our baby BOY!

So many emotions, but through it all there was this CALMING feeling that came over me.  At that very moment I KNEW that God had us in the palm of his hands all along.  He knew the plan for us, and what he would need from us, and what he would bless us with.  I am a firm believer that even through all of the hurt, and the sadness, and the brokenness that goes on in adoption, I KNOW that even though all of that has to happen, the end result is what matters.  When i met Rylee's birth mother, she told me that she knew that God chose us for him.  And that we were a good, christian family that he CHOSE for her son.  Thank you for trusting us Lord, for loving us and allowing us to be his FOREVER FAMILY!  We may not be perfect everyday, but we try to find SOMETHING perfect in everyday!

And today, we are complete. (so we think) 

But God, that man-he does funny things, so you just never know what he might throw in the mix!

Love and Blessings to you all.

Advocare 24 Day Challenge

Yup.  I made the crazy decision that in the middle of SUMMER, to throw in a 24 days challenge! And guess what I found a few of my crazy friends to do it with me!

A super fabulous person first introduced Advocare to me, just by posting on Facebook about this SPARK stuff (which, let's get real is like-THE best thing ever)-i didn't pay much attention to it, because to be honest-I wasn't about any "fad" diets, and pills, and crazy "boot-camp" type challenge.  THEN one night, i had to make a late night drive to the airport, and my girlfriend brought my a random sample of SPARK, I didn't even know she was into it herself! WHAT a blessing THAT was! I even spilled half of it on the floor, continued to sweep that lil' miracle dust up with my hands and added it to my water, i didn't even know if i liked it yet, but something was telling me NOT to waste all that goodness! I shook it up, drank it down and I was on the road-SUCCESS!

Long story short, it was something I continued to hear about, and then I was with a friend at a vendor event, and she was telling me a little more about it, and she told her HER success story-She looked fabulous all the time, I didn't think she had any inches to lose-BUT she lost inches, I HAD to give this a shot right?!

Yeah, fast forward a few weeks, I took the plunge! I JUST finished day 1 of the next 23 BRUTAL days of summer, what a way to END Summer Break right?! :-) I have bdays to celebrate, a wedding, vacation and a baseball game in there to attend, if I stick with this, I will IMPRESS MYSELF!  I think if I am putting it out here for you to read, I have no choice but to stick with it!  Who wants to come back on here in 23 days to find out I GAINED weight?! NOT ME!!!!

Stay tuned with updates and results.....

This all falls under our "journey" right?!
