My sister-in-law and niece are in town visiting from Arizona! We are going to have so much fun. Today we went to the craft store and picked out a project we want to do while she is here. Last time they were here it was December. Now my niece is one and walking and talking! She is so cute and loves to get herself into mischief. She loves my in-laws' dogs and laughs whenever they lick her.
I heard through the grapevine that my sister and her family might come visit us from California this summer. If I had my way, I would gladly go to CA, but I don't think Ty and I could afford that. So, hopefully they will come here to Washington. I haven't seen them since my wedding and haven't met my sister's little girl. *Crossing my fingers* I miss them a lot, so it will be great to have them here!!
Class is kicking my butt right now because I am always feeling sick. I keep reminding myself that the quarter is halfway over, so hang in there! Ugh. :P

Spring, where are you?
This Spring has weather that is as fickle as can be. One minute its gorgeous and the next its gray and cold. I guess that is the nature of Spring weather, unpredictable as it tries to press forward to Summer. I love the Spring weather, and wish the season would last longer. Here in Southeastern Washington, it seems like the only seasons are Summer and Winter.
Went to the CBC campus today to take a math test. Hope I did well. If I had it to do over again, I would have taken my math classes sooner after graduating high school. Since it has been nearly eight years since I took a math class, it has been harder to get back into the math groove again.
I have been thinking a lot about goals lately. Trying to prepare for adoption really makes you think about goals. For quite a while I have wanted to write a book. Fiction, smart and funny, a story that people could relate to their life. I kind of started a couple years ago, but put it down and haven't gone back to it. And now that I read the pages I have written, I don't like my characters or plot line. I need to rewrite it and start over. I need to not give up on the goal of writing a book. It is always good to have goals, long term and immediate. It keeps us pushing forward, looking at tomorrow. So, my assignment for myself is to make some goals and keep them.
I heard about a little boy who is being put up for adoption here in the T.C.. I have been calling numbers and not getting much information at all. I kind of feel like a dog chasing it's tail. I haven't let myself get frustrated, though. I knew it would probably be a long shot, but Tyler is starting to be pretty disappointed. It would be wonderful if it could happen, but I am trying to stay realistic and not get my heart too invested. I know we will adopt when it is the right time. I know their is a precious little spirit that is meant just for Ty and me.

May Already
It is May already and we have now moved into Mom and Dad Hunsaker's house. The move was relatively painless, but only because of our great family helping us out. John, Dennis, Julie, Rebecca, Zach - you are all the best!!! Thanks for giving up your Friday to get us moved. We also had my visiting teacher and the ward missionaries there to lend a hand. Although, I think the elders got more in the way than they helped, but oh well.
I tried to keep what I would take to Mom and Dad's limited, and put the majority in storage, that way moving out again will hopefully be pretty easy. I still don't have everything put away. It's hard fitting everything into one room.
My sister-in-law and her adorable baby girl are coming to visit. Yay! We are going to have so much fun! Now if only I could get my sister and her family from CA to come visit, this would be the best summer!
Monday Ty and I will be doing FHE with our friend Brianna. Should be lots fun, we don't see her often enough.
Odd story of the week for me: got a message on Facebook from a friend that I haven't kept in touch with about a baby she knows that is being put up for adoption here in the Tri-Cities. When I read this it was like lightning struck me. I don't think many people outside of our families and close friends know that we plan to adopt, so this really surprised me. She sent this message to several people on her list, but I was excited she sent it to me too. I immediately started chatting with her to see if I could get more information. She gave me the child's name and age and what agency the child is going through.
I tried calling the agency, but they were already closed for the weekend. I am calling them first thing Monday morning. This could possibly be a long shot, but I am willing to try. I just have to put my faith in the Lord that He will know what child is meant for us and when it is right for us.
