Tennessee here we come!

(Just had to add this one in there, because I just love the new Quarters)

Just a note to let everyone know that Rob, my Mom, and I are headed to Tennessee tomorrow to pick up our new baby. She has not been born yet, but we anticipate the next day or two.
From my mothers words: Our experience with the adoption since moving to Utah has been a nightmare. We know that things would never have worked out without the Lord’s hand in their behalf. Up until a week ago it looked like the baby would have to go to a foster family. Then, suddenly all our paperwork cleared. Yesterday, when we thought we had already dealt with everything that could go wrong...we were informed that we needed physicals done here in Utah. After unsuccessfully trying to get a doctor’s appointment, I called my dad. He called President/Doctor Booth (former mission president who is a doctor in St George) and the next thing we knew we had our appointment! We were even able to find plane tickets for 1/3 the regular price. Rob cannot stay the entire time so my mom has offered to stay with me until all the adoption legalities are finalized (1-2 weeks). She is our families personal photographer! We are excited for this wonderful blessing in our lives and would like to thank everyone for their prayers.
I will update my blog once she is here. So Stay Tuned!
