And my life will change...forever ;-)

It's after midnight. I can't sleep a wink. I know I should be sleeping right now. I should be enjoying every amount of sleep that I can get and enjoy, since my nights of peaceful sleeping will soon come to an end. ;-) But alas, I'm too excited to sleep.

My life is about to change. I'm about to fall in love all over again - not only with my husband but with my new son. Troy Robert Ka Haku Justus is about to enter this world, enter our home, and enter our hearts, forever. His precious birth mother, Nicole, is in the hospital at this very moment, and will be induced this day at 8am. How appropriate that this miracle will happen on General Conference Weekend, when the spirit of the Lord comes into the world through the mouthes of his Prophet and Apostles. I couldn't have asked for this to happen on a better weekend. This precious little miracle coming into our lives, and we owe it all to Nicole and her family. We owe it to the birth father and his family, especially his beautiful mother who has become like a second mother to me. What would we do without them? We love them all so much. We've only known them for a month or so, but we love them unconditionally. There are no words to possibly describe how we feel at this time. What can I say? Bob and I have yearned for children for many years now. Our hearts have ached, our empty arms ache because there is no child in our home, no one to love or spoil. We love each other so much, and have nobody to take care of except ourselves. Then this precious family finds us, and chooses us, and they will eternally bless our lives by giving us their special child. What sacrifice! What love! They are simply amazing people to do this for us, for this little baby boy. They are amazing!!! The love and gratitude that fill my heart for them cannot be properly expressed. I am so happy, I can't explain my emotions. Yes, my life is about to change, and for the better.

These are the feelings of an adopting parent. ;-) They are unexpressable...

Thank you so much God for this gift. Thank you Nicole for this precious miracle. I promise to love and cherish OUR son forever. We will always care for Troy. He will be the top priority in our lives. We will love him more than you will ever know. He will know about YOUR love and your sacrifice that has blessed him with a good home, and with an eternal family. I promise that he will love and admire you, his birth parents. He will know what you have done for him, and one day he will take you into his arms and thank you for giving him his life, and his parents, The JenBob. ;-)

Thank you to Bob for being the most wonderful husband - you will be an amazing father like this world has NEVER known. Only I will know of the privilge it's been to be your wife. And finally, to my son, I love you, Troy Robert. You are the miracle I've been praying for, aching for, and I cannot wait for the moment when I can hold you in my arms, look into your eyes, and call you my baby boy.

I am so blessed. God is good.

Happy Happy Joy Joy~
