Weekend Gettaway

Last Friday Eric took me away to a resort in Scottsdale for our 5 year anniversary. It was so nice! He surprised me by taking me to a 4 diamond restaurant that was at the resort. We walk in and I already feel out of place. The waiter pulls out my chair and places the napkin on my lap. I couldn't help but giggle with a huge grin on my face. Each course was phenomenal! Everyone around probably could tell that this was our first time dining in a place like that. Each dish they brought out I was like, "Whoa! How cool is this?" or "Oh, my goodness! Hunny, try this!" They had a man playing an acoustic guitar the entire time. He was playing a bunch of familiar songs, which got me really excited. I was trying so hard not to sing along. Eric would kindly remind me that there is to be no singing. He had to remind me a few times.
The next morning we rented bikes and went for a bike ride on some trails. The trail was on a golf course and it was beautiful. We saw bunnies and baby ducks. It was such a fun ride. Then we got ready and Eric thought it would be fun to spend 5 hours at a dealership. We traded in our car and got more than what we owed on it, and got a great deal on another car. I guess it was worth the 5 hours. We got a dependable car with better gas mileage. No more worries about the Audi breaking down on us! Yea!
The rest of the weekend was fun and relaxing. We ordered pizza and watched Spongebob SquarePants. We went swimming and made up pool games. It was sad when we had to leave. I always hate going back to reality. It was nice to get out and enjoy each other. Sorry no pictures of this weekend. I am terrible at taking pictures!

We're Adopting and need your help!!!

We have been trying to get pregnant for a couple years now and haven't had any luck. We got some testing done and found out that our chances of getting pregnant are slim to none. With fasting and prayer we feel the route to start a family is through adoption. This is where we need your help. If you know of any mother that is placing her baby for adoption please mention us! We are very anxious and excited to start a family! The average time is 2 years for the adoption process. We were told that if we were active about getting the word out about us adopting it could help pick up the pace with the process, and land us with a mom who is choosing adoption. Thank you for your prayers!
