Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Our Adoption Story: lots of emails. Man, where has the time gone? Its been a few days since I posted and I feel like I am far behind here. I guess that's what happens when you are in the middle of moving across the country! So as the new year approached, we began getting a lot of emails from our agency. It was SO very nice to see them working for us, working to make our dream of being a family come true. I don't carry a pediatrician and/or psychologist in my back pocket so I did...

Michelle: Our Adoption Story: Time to call the Families
http://michellegumpl.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-adoption-story-time-to-call-families.html
Thursday, February 20, 2014. Our Adoption Story: Time to call the Families. We made this decision, to keep quiet, after the failed adoption we experienced in November. I couldn't go through the heartache of telling people we were matched just to turn around and tell them it fell through. I wasn't strong enough to go through that. The decision was made. As hard as it was to not tell my mom, it had to be done. Next on the list was my mom. I called her and asked "what are you doing? Pure joy for all of us!

http://michellegumpl.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-adoption-sotry-placement-day.html
Thursday, February 20, 2014. Our Adoption Story: Placement Day. Rich and I stayed at the hospital most of the day on Feb 9, 2013. We left long enough to get dinner and to check into our hotel. We got to the hotel and off loaded our luggage and pretty much CRASHED into bed. To say it had been a long day was an understatement. We set the alarm for 7:00a and quickly fell asleep. We stopped to get her breakfast, and us too, on the way in. Gotta love McD's breakfast.its one of champions! Not long after, the l...

Michelle: January 2012
http://michellegumpl.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 13, 2012. It's the MOST wonderful time of the year. This year Rich and I drove to Austin for Christmas. We got out of ABQ later than we wanted because all the highways were shut down thanks to Old Man Winter's snow storm the night before we left. We finally arrived in Austin about 4:30 am on Christmas Eve. After Pajamas and Pampakes, Blythe, Natalie, mom and I all went for a girls afternoon of manicures, pedicures, lunch and shopping. We are teaching her young what a girls day means!

Michelle: May 2011
http://michellegumpl.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. This post is straight from my heart and very real. This is not meant to make anyone mad or feel anything more than a better understanding of what I am feeling right now! Its the same thing, and it does not provide the comfort you were hoping for! After MONTHS of frustrating paperwork and deadlines we are told some heartbreaking and earth shattering news. Our little girl is not ours. Last week I had the pleasure of flying to DC to be with my friend Missie and her husband Sebastian,...

Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Beautiful Friends = Beautiful Pictures. Rich and I were lucky enough to meet a wonderful couple in May when we all went to Vegas to celebrate a mutual friends birthday. Kristi and Greg are two of the nicest people, not to mention they are an Air Force family too! It was so great getting to know them and spending the weekend celebrating together. Kristi is a photographer that does A-MA-ZING work! Here are a few of our favorites. I didn't put them all on here, just a few.
