Dirty Little Word = Great Blessings

CANCER! It is one dirty word but who would have thought it would bring so many amazing blessings! It's funny how things sort themselves out in life. Without Cancer I probably wouldn't be where I'm at in life. Probably wouldn't have married Lance, and in the process of getting this amazing little baby.
I can't say that when younger I saw myself having my "own" children.It's not something I never imagined or really thought of. For me I think adoption was always ingrained to my brain and spirit.When I was younger (around 6 or 7) I remember thinking on many occasions, " Why do people keep having more kids? There are so many kids who need homes!" I was so perplexed by this. Now I find myself understanding why.
This adoption process however it ends in the next few days has been an amazing experience with ups and downs but I have appreciated every moment. My best friends mom said something to me when I was younger that told me " When you adopt it is the most spiritually guiding time in your entire life." Boy she was not kidding! Mason was definitely being prepared for us.
Here we are the day before Brittany is induced and I find myself with complete comfort and peace. Whatever will be will be. I know that we will have angels seen and unseen gathered around us at that hospital in the next few days. I will try my hardest to relay the incredible feeling and hardache (in Brittany's behalf) we will be experiencing when that baby is born and when we have that baby placed in our arms. I think some things will just be to sacred to tell but other things I hope can be an inspiration for all those who read it.
Until next time, Farewell! I will be a changed woman in more ways then one the next I get back on here! Thanks again for everyones love and support!

I'm so excited for you guys. This was a beautiful post. I dreamed about you and Lance last night and about this beautiful baby that is coming into our family. I have to say I woke up with a few tears in my eyes. This really is such a blessing and I hope Brittany knows how grateful we are for what she is doing.

We've made sure Heavenly Father knows how grateful we are. Our prayers are with you all today.
