welcome to my colorful online journal filled with images of all sorts. . . .

my name is jessica. i am a wife, mom, Christian, daughter, & friend. i am very happy, blessed, and oh so thankful! i used to teach third grade, but now i stay at home with my boys, and i'm a parent's day out director two days a week. . .but our boys go with me! God has led our family to adopt from Uganda. . .so that is what is currently BIG in our lives. . .!! we are so excited. God is amazing, and our story is nothing but HIM! i love (in no particular order. . . ) kissing on my boys, going on dates with my hubby, spending time with my family & friends, my bible, taking pictures, decorating, bargain shopping, pinterest, mallo cups, old windows, white cheese dip, romantic comedies, ice cream, cooking, peonies, crafting, baking, thrift stores & yard sales, going out to eat, missions. . .i could go on and on!

{ on the list }

i'm going to try to be better at keeping the blog updated for adoption purposes, instead of the facebook page.


on SEPTEMBER 19, our agency, Generations Adoptions, sent us an email to inform us we are number


on the wait list. that means, we have been on the wait list for 1 month and 2 weeks. we were also told that we could have a referral within 3-6 months. . .more likely closer to the six month mark. . . .so maybe march???


it's so hard to believe. . .even harder to wrap my brain around leaving my boys for at least a month to travel to Uganda, but it will be a wonderful blessing when all of us are safe under one roof, this roof!!!


happy wednesday!

So incredibly happy for you and your family. What a beautiful blessing that could only happen because of faith in our God. :) Your boys are going to be the best brothers. I cant wait to hear the news. I will continue to pray for your journey and for the sweet love that awaits you in Uganda.
