I never thought it would happen . . . and if it weren't for a certain sixteen year old boy who knows his way around a computer, it never would have. Thank you Brady for staying up late with me to make my hopes of blogging a reality . . .
Where to begin? I am a military wife of nearly 24 years, married to my high school sweetheart, Bryan, who is a Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. I am so proud of of my husband! We have been blessed with four biological children and we are waiting to bring our three year old daughter home from China.
Bryce is our firstborn, and will turn 22 in May. He flew the nest a year ago to follow his dad's footsteps into the Air Force. He is currently stationed in Spokane, Washington where he is training to be a Survival Instructor. Bryce is my "strong, determined" bird. Our daughter, Taylor will soon turn 20. She is still in the nest, although "perched on the edge" would probably be a better description. Taylor is in her sophomore year of college and is working toward a degree in Elementary Education. Taye is my "sensitive, caring" bird. (She is also my "thank you Lord for a girl" bird)! Brady is 16, homeschooled, and is also learning to drive . . . you might say we are full fledged into daily flying lessons together. Brady is my "comic relief " bird . . . non-stop! Then came Brogan, almost four . . . our "come along lately, yet not a surprise" bird. Brogie is a joy and keeps things lighthearted and giggly around here like only a child can do, he is our extra blessing. That brings me to our little China bird, Zhu Fu Xiao, soon to be Theadora Fu Xiao . . . our Teddi girl! Teddi turned three on January 5th in an orphanage in Zhuhai City, China . . . . her last birthday without a mommy and daddy. I began praying for this little bird eight years ago when the Lord planted the seed of adoption in my heart . . . that seed has now bloomed into a beautiful reality. We wait faithfully for the day that we will hold Teddi in our arms and bring her to our nest . . . the place that will be her home sweet forever, home!
This is My Blessed Nest!
Blessings~
