Ten Years waiting...

So this is very exciting news for our family and I am only blogging about it before calling some of you first cause I am so excited that I can't sleep. I had a long conversation with Richard, Makenna's dad, tonight. The conversation ended up that I asked him if William could adopt Makenna and I was totally expecting him to say no. He told me he has been wanting to ask me that for a while and just didn't want it to sound like he wants to get out of child support. We had a great talk about how much better it would be for Makenna. So tomorrow I will call my attorney and get adoption papers started. I am so excited that I can't even cry about it. I have all this excited energy. Ok so this now means that William and I can finally take her to the temple to be sealed to us. This is the part we have really wanted for the last ten years. I can't wait!!!

I am so thankful to my sweet husband for loving her so unconditionally for ten years and encouraging me to ask him. We are so excited to add her to our eternal family.
