Blog Finally Started

Well......almost two years after we brought home our first child from Ethiopia.....and many, many, memories since.........I have finally decided to start a blog.

I have been asked over and over again if I have one and my answer always is......not yet, which really means.....(not ever). So....after all the procrastinating, here it is......

I am Rebekah and I am married to my best friend in the whole world, Russ. We have been married for a little over 5 years and have two beautiful children, our son Trey who is 3 1/2 and our daughter Ella who is 1. Both of our children joined our family through adoption (Holt International). Our son in 2008 and our daughter in 2009; both from Ethiopia. We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have our kids and have found parenting to be the most rewarding, fun, amazing, touching, trying, heartbreaking and loving experience.

Ethiopia has become a huge part of our lives and has captured our hearts. We were fortunate to have traveled there twice and feel like we leave a piece of us there each time. We are very connected to the people, culture and country and can't wait for our next trip (for another adoption or just a visit....who knows....you'll have to wait and see).

Needless to say, I couldn't have imagined our family any different, I get to wake up each morning and be called "Mommy" which is just about the BEST thing I've ever heard.

Life..........it's just Fabulous!!
