I Have a son!  We finally adopted our little boy Friday. What a hard chapter in my life this was but what a great beginning!  One more to go and I can breath normally again.

So after a crazy busy week. Snow shoveling, bowling, adoptions birthdays, my little job.

I thought I would have a horriable day at the gym today but I suprised myself. I finished my three miles in 33 minutes. I worked my abs and then rode the bike for 30 minutes.   I felt good!

Thankyou!

I have more good news!

I went to court today and after sitting in a room and talking with the bio-mom of our baby (The placement we have had for the last 8 months) She signed over her rights. We are clear to adopt him. The first date is in May but he is basically ours. So my family is set 4 girls two boys. I would have never guessed in a million years. It has been a long emotional road.

All the more reason for me to acomplish my running goals. (For all the heart ache this last year and all the joys)!
