Much to my surprise I won employee of the month!!! this is fabulous and it was a big shock. I know I am an awesome employee ;O) but we also have several others who contribute a lot to our Company. Yay for me! I haven't received my "prize" yet but I will let you know as soon as I get it! Our backyard is completely filled with mazes of wood stacks. Sadly I still haven't had a chance to take a picture because I have been so busy but I really don't think you can fully understand unless you see it. From the view out my huge dining room window you would swear my house was encased in a wood stack fortress. We heat our house with a wood burning stove and the price of wood has skyrocketed so to help keep the cost down Jason has been collecting trees that have been cut down. So we have this years stack, next years stack, stack of small logs and stack of big logs to be split...oh and don't forget the stumps that are lined up because they are too big to stack....
We started off as a family of 3 when we finalized Olena's adoption in 2006. 2017 brought many changes and we are now managing our lives as divorced parents who love our daughter more than anything in this world and still love to promote adoption. While I don't blog as much as I use too, I do like to keep updates going at least once a year for those of you who followed our story for the last decade.
