Our Story

Short version:  Boy meets girl.  Boy and girl complete elementary and middle school barely acknowledging each other.  Boy and girl enter high school and date other people.  Boy and girl become friends and possibly develop crushes on each other. Boy and girl attend Junior Prom together.  Boy doesn't call girl for two weeks.  Boy calls call, girl falls in love.  Boy and girl get married just two years after high school, buy a house and get an amazing dog who is their baby.  Boy and girl decide it's time for a two-legged child.  Boy and girl adopt from Ethiopia.  Boy and girl fall insanely in love with their son.  Son is amazingly kind, intelligent and handsome.  Girl attempts to keep up with blog.

You can read some of the story here:  (Disclaimer:  Much of this was written before we knew much about Ethiopia, adoption, and adoption-friendly language.  Additionally, much of the process has changed since these posts were written.  After struggling with the idea of editing or not including them, I decided to keep them as-is, because they are all part of our journey).
