A while back, I had posted about something exciting that was going to happen in our family, especially to my Aunt Jodi. Over Thanksgiving the waiting finally ended and we were able to meet Brad. My Aunt Jodi gave a little boy up for adoption 27 years ago and we were able to finally meet him over Thanksgiving. I can't imagine how it must feel for Brad and my Aunt Jodi because we were all so excited! I'm not sure if he knew what he was in for, but as soon as we found out we ALL just had to meet him! Thanks for putting up with all of our craziness! I can't imagine what it is like to meet your birth mother let alone her entire family!
This is Brad with his wife Diondra. They were both so nice and so much fun! Brad had us all laughing the whole night. It is funny to find the connections we have with them. Diondra is my age and went to Bingham high school. We knew some of the same people and she grew up with some friends of friends. Small world! My Grandma was fascinated with Brad all night long. Because of her dementia we weren't really able to explain to her who he was, but a part of me thinks she knew.
We were sad that the Kingsbury's weren't able to make it down for Thanksgiving, but hopefully they will be able to meet him another time! It was so fun to meet both of them and get to know them! Love you guys!
Kelsi I so didn't know you had a blog!! Shoot, I would have been more up to speed with everything going on with you guys. Your comment was so nice on my last post. Thank you so much! I was so excited to find this blog & see the fam & hear about the meeting with Brad. How awesome for you guys to meet him. He is so handsome & seems so nice. Yay! Our fam was wondering all day about you guys. How fun that you get to be back in Riverton! I'm not going to let that stop me from asking you to babysit though :)
