A lot has happened...

Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. A lot has happened in the last few weeks, most of which includes Scott and I spending most of our free time trying to finish all of the adoption paperwork. We went to our doctor last week to get our physicals done for the paperwork and I decided to make a day of it. Check it out...

I went to the eye doctor and they dilated my eyes. My left eye went back to normal really quick. My right eye took close to 8 hours to go back to normal. So I looked a little odd. Took myself to lunch and was one of those creepy people wearing my sunglasses inside.

I also graduated with my Master's of Social Work degree from BYU! Oh my gosh, so excited about it!

The hood kinda chokes you. Yay for husbands and mother's-in-law that come up with ways to attach it so it stops choking you!

Other than that we have actually been spending a lot of time with little kids. We LOVE it! We babysit this little squeeker, Alec, most Saturdays and he's so much fun.

Cheesy excitement for getting his own flowers!

He likes to run, evidenced by the blurry picture.

Alec really likes the horses across the street from our home and calls them "doh" (dog). He asks to go see them constantly. Scott is really really allergic to them, but will brave it (thank you benadryl) because Alec loves it so much.

Scott had pulled out some weeds from the garden to feed the horses. Alec won't touch them, but loves watching everyone else do it for him.

And then we spent a weekend watching our nieces Karly and Kate ("A sleepover at Kami and Scott's!"). They LOVE anything princess so we told them we could watch Sleeping Beauty (their pick) on our "big tv" before going to bed. They wanted to cuddle with Scott all night.

Can you see Kate cuddled into Scott's side by the chair?

We took them to a big park the next day. Kate is incredibly brave and went on and through everything. We kept trading off which kid we were following so we could switch off who was the most tired chasing her around. Karly likes having someone there to reassure her more, but we talked her into crawling in the hive to take a picture.

It is so sweet for me to see Scott with these kids and just get so excited for what's coming for us. He really is fantastic with all of the kids in our life, and they absolutely love him (I mean seriously, the girls cuddle and play with him all the time). So wish us luck trying to finish all this paperwork!

I passed!

I apologize for the messiness of this blog currently. We're trying to make it look the way we want it to look!

These last two weeks have been fairly eventful for me and Scott.

First this happened:

Which pretty much made my whole week! I had to go to a conference and present some research I did for the VA Hospital right after taking the test, man was I tired!

Scott and I finally got to go in and meet with the caseworker at LDS Family Services, meaning we can get started on the rest of our paperwork. Daunting, but exciting!

And I just have to say that Scott is a rockstar. He hates programming, but he's using the skills he has and finding new ones by making this blog look pretty. I just love him.

Introducing...

Hi, my name is Kami. I'm married to Scott. We're pretty happy people, and we really like each other.

We've been married two years and in that time a lot has happened. I got to go to Scott's favorite place in the world, Yellowstone National Park.

I had died my hair brown for a few months.

We went on a honeymoon (after six month's of marriage, so still newlyweds, it counts!) to Alaska.

And I got bit by a salmon fish on that trip.

See the terror that a fish induces!

I went back to graduate school to get a Master's Degree in Social Work at Brigham Young University. Scott graduated from BYU with a degree in Manufacturing Engineering!

After seriously injuring my back lifting a television I had to have back surgery. But I am pretty much 100% back to normal.

We went to Disney World as Scott's graduation present.

Epcot Center

And Scott started a great job with a lighting company as an engineer. I'm also just about to graduate with my Master's degree (taking the licensing exam tomorrow, eek!).

But after all of that we are on our way to start the best adventure we've had yet! See, we started trying to get pregnant shortly after we got married. I had a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and we knew that it was going to be hard, so we wanted to get started early. Well after two years (with a small break so I could have surgery and then be cleared by my doctor), we found out that I never had PCOS and actually have something called Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (or Premature Ovarian Failure). All that means is that I have so few eggs that they can't count them. After praying and pondering over our options with infertility, we've decided to forgo the less than 5% chance of getting pregnant on our own and go towards...

We legitimately have this on our fridge.

We're just getting started, but if you want to point us in the right direction let us know! We're super excited to expand our little family!!!

We believe!
