We would like to welcome you to our blog. We created this blog to keep family and friends, near and far, updated about our adoption journey and to keep a record for our daughter. Neither of us have ever written a blog before and don't know really where to start or what to write about, so bear with us. I guess we will start from the beginning...
Casey and I met in the singles group at First Baptist Snellville. We became friends and started hanging out. Everyone knew that he liked me, except for me of course (one of my many blonde moments). He finally worked up the courage to ask me out April 22, 2004. He proposed over Thanksgiving weekend, while my family and I were visiting my sister and her family in Texas. We had a great family evening eating pizza (one of my favorite foods) and watched the movie Stepford Wives. We were staying at my sister's father and mother in law's house and he took me onto their balcony overlooking the 13 hole and proposed.
We were married on October 8, 2005 at the Marriot Evergreen in Stone Mountain, Georgia. It was a beautiful and fun night.
We started our adoption journey this past January and are in the process of adopting a little girl, under 2, from Ethiopia. There have been many ups and downs, but we know that God is with us during this process. We found comfort in the bible verse Psalm 84:3- Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself.. So that is why we chose that name for the blog.
Jill and Casey
