My guardian angels

Meet my sister and her sweet family! I would not be here without them.

Words can't describe what this family means to me! My sister Helga and I have been close ever since I can remember. She is the most christ like person I know. She loves and serves everyone she meets. When she and her sweet husband Bryan invited me to live with them while I was pregnant our relationship grew immensely. I wouldn't have been able to survive the hardships of that time without her and Bry. 

Bryan is a seminary teacher and I have cherish our talks about his lessons, the gospel, boys, health and nutrition and just about anything else that comes up. 

Their kids own my heart! Little M is 4 years old. I missed my senior prom to meet this beautiful little lady. Never have I regretted that decision, she is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. :)

Then theres mister Tayman, oh how I love this little guy. He has a very special place in my heart. He is only three days younger than Lillian (2 years old) and its been very fun to watch both of them grow up so similar. They both remind me of each other which I love.

Last but most certainly not least is my sweet Little L. Oh how I love her! She is about 9 months old and I could kiss her all day. She has the sweetest smile that instantly melts my heart. 

You will want to remember their names because I see them at least once a week and their names will come up quite a bit. :) 

I consider myself the luckiest Birth Mom EVER!

  And here's 4 reasons why.. 

 Meet Dave, Holly, Lillian and Josie. 

     I met Holly and Dave exactly one week before little Lillian arrived, not for lack of searching. Simply said, fate brought us together just in time. I knew from the second I met them that I had just met Lillian's parents. I can't explain the feeling but it was so strong and so powerful that there was no denying it. I cherish that confirmation and have reflected on it several times throughout the years. Holly and I instantly became friends and I know without her I couldn't have made it through the rough times.  She is one of the most amazing women I know. 

      Little Josie came as a surprise and honestly a miracle. They had a long complicated road on their journey to have children and just a month or so after I placed Lillian with them they found out they were pregnant.  Lillian and Josie are the best of friends and theres nothing I love more than seeing them continue to grow closer and closer. 

I look forward to sharing more of our story with you soon! :)

Stay tuned, I get to see them tonight and will post a few pictures either tonight or tomorrow. :) 

Introducing Lillian!

Before I share part two of my story, over the next couple of days I want to introduce a few people you should know.

First, and most important, is little miss Lillian! (aka, owner of my heart) 

Words can not begin to express how much I love this little lady. There's not a person in the world that makes me as happy as she does. Needless to say, she had me at hello! :) 

From day one, I knew that I would dedicate my life to making her happy; which doesn't take much effort because she always carries a beautiful smile, everywhere she goes.  

I will never forget the immediate love I felt during pregnancy, and how that love was dramatically increased the first time she was placed into my arms and it continues to grow every time she returns. It's hard to explain the connection I feel with her; however, it is one that I cherish with all my heart.
