I know I haven't blogged for a long time. My life has been very hectic. Here is the main reason!
Jack (Melissa's nephew) has been living with us since the end of September. Now Melissa and I have not wanted to be parents, especially me. I have never felt the erge to have a child (by giving birth or adoption). However, Jack is in a bad situation and we know we needed to do what was best for him. So, he moved in with us. We turned our purple and yellow butterfly room into a Bat Cave! He loves Batman. We put him in daycare and he absolutely loves it! I now understand what parents mean when they say it makes it all worth it when your kid does something cute or says something cute. So the times when he spills pink milk on my tan carpet or breaks the toilet tank cover, I just remember him "needing" a hug or kiss as he is going to bed (along with every stuffed animal that he sleeps with) and how lucky we are to have an influence on him.
Melissa has been in contact with a few attorneys about getting full custody of him. My hands are tied on this one since the wonderful state of Utah doesn't allow gay people to house kids if they are put in foster care or to adopt as a couple. All I have to say is our house and our influence is the best place for him to be! Hopefully once we start the process, I wont have to move my stuff out of our bedroom and act like I live in the basement as "roommates"!Until I blog again, ROCK ON!
P.S. Merry Christmas!!!
