Colton: Arizona Bound

12.14.2011

First, can I just ask you to imagine yourself in his shoes... one day your working hard, living a good life is the heart of the only state you've ever known, and one day you move 800 miles away to become a part of some strange family and raise a baby. It was only the cherry on top of the Sunday that it was weeks before the first Christmas he would be spending without his family. I thank Heavenly Father EVERYDAY for the strength that boy had to leave everything and be with me.

And everyday since he has shown me what a sweet selfless man he is.

I know that drive wasn't easy at all for him. He had never driven great distances before, which if any of you haven't... avoid it!

Meeting the family went surprisingly well, but I guess I shouldn't have been so worried. Colton is good with people. My siblings love him to death, and my dad doesn't hate him... so I feel like we are doing good right?!
