BFF

I just wanted to let everyone know how much I love the Owensby Family. They have grown by two since February 2009 and I love it! Steve and Angie have been so awesome to not only me, but my entire family. They have taken me in as a part of thier family and have supported me in all of my decisions. My visits with them make my hard days easier to deal with. Now that Zadok is a BIG brother to Isaac, it's so fun to see the curiosity in Z. He loves Ike so much and I know that Z had some great connections with him when they were both up in heaven.

Zadok is getting to be so big. He likes to try to do things himself and gets upset if he can't. Everytime he sees me, he gets a HUGE grin on his face, holds his arms out and if I don't pick him up right then, he gets mad. When I pick him up, he lays his head on my shoulder and sighs several times and then gives me kisses. Oh! How I love it!

I am so thankful for the openness that I have in this adoption and the comfort that I get from it. Angie and I talk to each other about everything under the sun. She knows all that is not going on in my "love life" and when I actually do get one, she will know all about that too. We have fun hanging out on Wednesdays and playing with the boys.

I couldn't be happier that Zad and I found his mommy and daddy and that they were prepared to have him in their home in 24 hours. The whole process was a modern day miracle and I'm glad I was, and still am, a part of it.

Too Much Stuff

I have been so busy with school and work and then BOTH of the computers crashed on us. So I sit here at work waiting to go home early and typing to you.

June 19th

I volunteered to help with the Top Chef Tour in Phoenix. There were 3 students and a Chef from my school and then the two Top Chef Stars, Ryan and CJ. We were all in the back of a very hot, very small trailer with a kitchen. At times there were 10 of us back there. It was quite fun but it was an all day thing. Here are some pics:

David, Me, Ryan, CJ, Rennetta, Chef H was taking the pic

Here are some pics from my birthday dinner. The Owensby's came over and we got to play with them. Zad is such a cheeser! Anytime he sees a camera he makes a face. I love this little boy so much. He makes me so happy.

When he saw the red light flash he looked up and cheesed and then went on playing like nothing happened. Funny guy!

I had to make a fondant cake in school and did an "Alice in Wonderland" themed one. It was fun to use the airbrush and I am definitely getting one for myself.

Here is my chocolate box. It's a little ghetto blaster, complete with batteries in the back.

Hopefully I will be able to post more in the coming weeks if life doesn't get too crazy.
