Adoption

So this is something that I have been thinking alot about, with pcos it is very difficult to have children. I have friends on both sides of the fence who either had an amazing experience or or a not so amazing experience. Of course not knowing anything I would have hope for an amazing experience. While we were home for Thanksgiving I was talking with my sister in law about it. Her sister had recently adopted and my s-i-l went to classes with her in preparation for the adoption. She said something that just made sense to me, "Women are put on the earth to be mothers, some to have children, and some to raise children." Of course alot of women can do both, but the way the world is more people are having to adopt or not have children due to their circumstances. Don't get me wrong I want to and would love to have my own children, but if it isn't something that is in the cards for me I will adopt without question. I know their are people out there, even within my family that would think that I am crazy for saying that, but I see it as I want children, and alot of children need homes, so why not let us both have that opportunity. I think I would be able to provide a good home for them.
I know that this is kind of a random subject but it is something that I have just really felt strongly about recently. I know that I have only been married a couple years but I really feel like we are ready to start our family. Whether our children be born into or adopted into they will be our children and never feel like they are outsiders.
What do you think about adoption?

New couches!!!

After 2+ years of marriage and a year of single life use, we have finally passed on the old couches to some other soon-to-be newlywed couple. They were good to us and they were free, so hey what else could a young couple ask for! The couch started to feel like you were sitting in a hammock and the love seat had a rip in the arm and one of the panels were missing. So on to Furniture Row we went and found the perfect couches. Well actually we found the perfect couches at Asheley and Todd's house and knew they bought them at Furniture Row. So same couches different color. So here is the old and new!
Believe it or not the end table in the corner is still there. It just gives you an idea of how big these things are. The Tall guy who is 6'6" can stretch out and not have his feet or his head touch either side on the couch. They are so nice and wide that when I sit on them my feet don't touch the ground. It will be really nice for when we have company stay with us because the couch can serve as an actual comfortable place to sleep as opposed to our old couch. Sorry about those old ones for everyone who had to sleep on them. Next time will be much more enjoyable. So thanks to everyone for reading about my couches. I was just so excited I had to share it with you all!!
