Blessings abound.  I am getting a new sister!  These two hold such a special place in my heart for so many reasons and I can’t wait to officially call Emily my sister.

Adam and Emily share such a fun kind of love.  They each bring their uniqueness to the relationship complimenting one another perfectly.  As a family we have watched them grow together and it has been wonderful.  They make each other laugh, they harass one another (a requirement in our family), and they love each other wholly.  These two share a wide variety of exciting activities together from hiking, backpacking, to entertaining their great selection of friends for crazy game nights; they are forever busy and creating new memories.   Both settled into great occupations and a beautiful home we can’t wait to watch the next stage of their adventure together.

For my husband and I there are some additional blessings that these two have given us.  Our daughter has spent the last year living with them while she is attending college.  They have given a gift to all of us that is unrepayable other than to say a 1,000 thank yous.  They have given us the rare opportunity to have her grow at this stage of life with great examples while giving her the space to explore as an adult, something that is often difficult for us parents to do.  They have taught her about love and relationships beyond just what she has witnessed in our home.  They have given her the right balance of freedom and responsibility to continue her adventure into adulthood; for that we are forever grateful.

We are so ready to watch these two “make it official” but have always known that Emily was already ours to love.  See you soon!  Love you both!
