Missy (Auntie MooMoo) and I are headed down to Denver this afternoon for a pretty a special event.. a screening of Extraordinary Measures starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford.
SWOON
A BIG THANK YOU to our wonderful friends at CBS4DENVER for this fantastic opportunity!! Although our tickets are reserved, it's still first come first serve.. we're hoping (and praying) we arrive in time to get our seats!
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come Full Circle
This is our story.
