Texture Tuesday | A Texture of Gratitude

Thank you just doesn’t seem like a big enough word for the hundreds of people that have commented, called, messaged, texted, cried, hugged, smiled, prayed and rejoiced with us as we shared our exciting news of being matched with our sweet son last week. I have truly been overwhelmed, WE have been truly overwhelmed at the overflowing amount of support we have gotten from our family, friends, and community. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about, just feeling that love wrapped around our new little family of three.

So while I have not had a chance to thank each of you individually, I am so truly grateful for you. Grateful for your continuous prayer, support, hugs, and love!! It means the world to us.

Nashville, TN Couples Photographer | Katee & Jon {Engagement}

So October 12, it the hot wedding date for 2013! And I am so glad that I will be spending that day with Katee and Jon! We had such a great time at their engagement session. I loved getting to watch their love! Their happiness! It is the best party of my job, freezing that love, that happiness as the wait to be married. Couples in love make my heart so so happy, and I love getting to have a relaxed session before their big wedding day! Take a look at Jon and Katee’s engagement session!

Texture Tuesday | A new Texture that I never knew…

On April 9, 2013, I learned a new texture, a new quality of emotions, a new person forever weaved into my being, into my heart. Never have I known love, never have I known that my heart could feel this much love from a single picture. Never will I ever be the same as we said YES, to a baby, perfectly made, perfectly chosen for us to parent, perfectly made in God’s eyes.

A few weeks ago, we said NO to adopting from South Korea. Actually, exactly one week before we said yes, I blogged about us saying NO… but God said YES, and laughed at me for trying to take control of our journey to start our family. Laughed because I could just hear Him say, “I’ve got this, remember?” But how quickly I forgot to let Him show us our baby. Like we said we would. We said we would trust His timing. And man, oh man, did he deliver.

So on April 9, 2013, we saw our son for the first time. We saw our son sitting, smiling, with the best cheeks anyone could ask for just waiting for me to kiss them!! Our amazing social worker, Stephanie, told us to “sleep on it,” like that would ever happen. Scott and I slept less than 2 hours. We stayed up staring at his picture, reading his profile, crying (well I was crying!) and asking, “is this really our baby? The one God has picked for us??” So we slept on it, and the next day we said YES! Yes to our son, YES to being a mama and daddy, YES to traveling to South Korea, YES to going on such an amazing adventure.

Since then, it was been such a crazy and emotional ride! Telling our family, telling our friends. We have just been wrapped in love from so many people, and we can feel it. And we are so thankful for it.

We are still unsure as when we will get to travel to get him, but it will be this year!! All the paperwork has been signed and delivered, so now we wait. Wait a little longer for the next step of paperwork, wait a little longer to get to travel, wait a little longer to hold my son. It will be hard, but it will make meeting him so much sweeter!!

Unfortunately, we cannot share his picture online, and that makes me so sad. I want everyone to fall in love with his face like we did! But for now, I will leave you with this!

I am going to be a mama!!!!!!!
