Spring is Here {04.05.2014}

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love Spring! Although I'm sure E could disagree considering his Allergies. But I still love it! The colors of the windflowers, the warm but not scorching hot sunshine, and the fact that every now and then rain comes to soothe you to sleep...Ahhhhh! There's nothing better. Being a photographer, I love taking pictures! Really that's an understatement for how much I enjoy taking them but you get the point. So being that I love photos, I decided we needed some updated photos of us around the apartment. Especially considering the ones we have up are from two and three years ago some even four!!! So I thought I'd share a few of our photos from our spring photoshoot! Also, if you live in the Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Houston, Galveston, or surrounding areas, check out my website: http://meganrichards1674.wix.com/affordmephotography, each session is just $50!!! So without further ado, here are our pictures! 

That's all folks!

God Bless,

Waiting for Tomorrow {04.07.2014}

Tomorrow is the first meeting, we can't believe it's already here but we are very excited. We both have so many questions and we are really looking forward to getting those questions answered and learning more about the adoption process. We've been reading about the adoption process through personal stories from others, but everyone's adoption is different and that's a very important thing to remember  when going through the process. We have learned that looking at others and how their story went will not be the same or even similar to our story, but ours will still be unique in it's own way. We were talking over the weekend about things we are looking forward to throughout this process, and aside from all the little things like the meetings and home study, we are most looking forward to meeting our new son or daughter and, of course, adoption day! I must admit that I think our biggest fear is the "financially stable" part. Yes, we have money and good jobs but what one persons idea of "stability" is may differ radically from what someone else thinks. Either way, I'm very excited and I know Erik is too. We feel like this is an amazing opportunity and feel so blessed that God has led us down this path wholeheartedly. After tomorrow, the nine months to a year process begins and we will be running around like crazy trying to get things done. We can't wait to share all the excitement and hard work we will be going through with friends and family! We thank you for following our journey and if you have an adoption story, please share with us!!! If you are currently going through the adoption process, we pray that God may bless you with your sweet angel quickly and without delay. 

God Bless,

Megan

We Are...{04.04.2014}

Lots of things have taken place since our last post but the most important is a decision that we made over the course of our hiatus. We have decided to adopt and have our first meeting April 8. Adoption has always been something that we wanted to do but we just recently started pushing for it to happen since we are at the peak of our lives. We both have steady jobs, make great money, have insurance through my husbands company, and we are settled in our town. We are looking to rent a house in September when our lease is up because we want a bigger place and more room for a child. So we are back because I thought we could use our blog as a way to share our adoption story. I know many people who want to adopt or who are adopting and I loved reading their stories so this is ours and it began the second we made the decision to adopt. One thing I can say is that we have realized that this decision started out being about us but quickly it changed to being about the child, his or her needs and every child needs a loving forever home and we know we can give that to them. So here's to hoping the journey is smooth and we can be blessed with a child to love. 

Here are some pictures we took during our spring photo shoot that we will add to our adoption book for our child to look through.

God Bless,

Megan
