Hello. My name is Angel. I am so happy that you have stumbled upon our humble blog about our family. I hope that you feel you are getting to know us as you peruse it's contents.I was born and raised in a suburb of Salt Lake City to kind and loving parents. I feel very grateful to them for the upbringing that they gave me, and for the safe haven that I was raised in. I feel so blessed that I was raised in such a loving environment, and I want to provide that same opportunity for my children.
My husband and I met at Utah State University, where I earned a dual bachelors in Elementary Education and Special Education. We have been married for thirteen wonderful and happy years. I am so grateful that I was able to snatch him up before someone else did. He is such an amazing husband and father, and I couldn't ask for a better companion or a more loving person to care for our family.
I am a full-time stay at home mom. I love being at home, and there is no place I would rather be than raising my children. I am currently homeschooling my 5th grade daughter, Megan, and have been doing so since last year. I absolutely love it. I love being with her on a daily basis. I find so much happiness watching her learn and grow -- it is extremely rewarding and I look forward to working with her every day.
I have lots of hobbies, I just don't get to them very often because my life is centered around my kiddos. Everything I do is for them. However, I do find time here and there for myself. I am a crafter (you name it, I dabble in it), a cake decorator (I -love- doing wedding cakes), an avid reader, I love to cook and experiment with recipes, I love all things music related (I love to sing and play the piano, as well as teach my children to love music), but most importantly, I am a mom. I embrace my role as a mother and I am so grateful for the opportunity the Lord has given me.So why adopt? I have heard this from so many people. Yes, we have three happy children who are the light of my life. Yes, they are getting older. Yes, bringing a new little one will throw our family for a major loop. So why do it? Because I have more to give. I still have love in my heart, and I feel as if our family is incomplete. There have been so many times when I have been out and I stop and panic as I do a head count -- Three? Eek! Where is number four? I feel as if there is an empty chair at our table and an empty space in my heart. The five of us have so much to give to your little one.
