I got tagged...

I think I have been tagged before, but I never got around to doing it. Sorry, whoever tagged me. But my sister Alicia tagged me and I think I will follow through with this one.

Archive Meme Instructions: Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written. But there is a catch:

Link 1: must be about family
I love my family, my extended family. My five sisters and one brother are all wonderful people and they were my best friends growing up. I hope to raise my children to be as good of friends as my siblings are. Of course it took some practice and growing up to get where we are now. I love them, I love our family reunions and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
(By the way, Rachel, had no idea you posted about sisters, until I finished my post)

Link 2: must be about friends
Some of my dearest friends are ones I have met through our adoption experience. One friendship I truly cherish and miss now is my dear "mother-in-waiting" friend, Robin. While we were both waiting to be mothers we spent each Friday together, whether it be going to lunch, shopping or making jewelry, we were there for each other and developed a bond I will always adore. I love you girl!

Link 3: must be about yourself...who you are...what you are all about.
Who I am and always wanted to be is a mother. I was born to be a mother. But I am also on a journey now to know who I am aside from that, and being true to myself along the way. This was a post I did on a day I was struggling to find myself. Each day is an adventure. Some great in the learning process, others more difficult than the rest. But if life were easy, I wouldn't grow and learn anything.
I also found myself here. (click on "here" for second link) This is more of who I am.

Link 4: must be about something you love
Next to my sweetie, whom I was meant to be with and whom I am crazy about (or sometimes who makes me crazy), I am in love with my little girl. She has stolen both my heart and her daddy's as well. We can't imagine our lives without her. She brings a spirit into our home that only our Heavenly Father could have created. We are so blessed!

Link 5: can be anything you choose
One thing that will always be dear to me is a tradition that my husband started while we were dating. "Friday Night Date Night". He wanted every Friday night to be a time when we put all things aside (work, school, life in general) and just have fun. It is something we have always done and still try to do. Even now with Kya, the tradition continues. Whether it be a movie at home or going out on the town, we now include Kya. In the words of Carl, "She is so much fun, I want her to come with us". Someday we will start dating just each other again, but really, who wouldn't want to go have a fun night without our "funny" girl.

Thanks, Alicia, this really was a fun post to do.
