Why adoption...
We always knew we wanted to have children. About two years into our marriage, we started "trying." After no success, we decided that it was time to involve doctors. Since I had my appendix out as a child, the doctor's thought that I may have scar-tissue that was making it so things weren't working right.
After a surgery to correct that, we were very hopeful. We weren't sure when our family would happen for us, but we knew that our Heavenly Father was with us 100% of the way, and that things would happen as they should, and in the timing they should. Still nothing happened. We decided it was time to see a specialist. We did many tests, and because there was no medical reason that we could not have children, we decided to try In-Vitro Fertilization.
With much love, support, prayers and fasting from our family, we started our first IVF cycle. After many medications, shots, and emotional roller-coaster rides, we found out that it didn't work. That was the hardest day of our lives--though we just knew that we were to learn something from this. This was Heavenly Father's plan. We tried IVF once more after that with no success.
One of our favorite quotes is from Orson F. Whitney: "No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer...when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God...and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven..." We are grateful for all we have gained through all of these experiences. Especially the knowledge of the path that He wants us to take right now in our lives. We always knew that Heavenly Father had our children waiting with Him in heaven. We just needed to find the right way for them to come to our family...through adoption. We have been blessed immeasurably by our decision. We have been at peace ever since we have decided adoption is right for our family.
We are excited to start our family, whether it is with one child or with twins! Though this is not the way that we thought our family would start, we do know that our children (however they come) will have more love in their life than they, or we, could ever express with words.
This is the greatest blessing we could hope for!

From the beginning....
We met one weekend when a group of friends were getting together to watch a church broadcast. When we were introduced, I was just starting to get a cold, and my voice was very raspy. I vividly remember the first thing Mic said to me. Though I never would have guessed that the words that would capture my heart would be, “We need to get some WD40 for your throat,” they certainly were “magic.” We both laughed so hard, it was love at first joke!
Shortly after that, school ended for the semester, and I went away for the summer to work at a Girl Scout Camp. Mic often drove the 2+ hours to take me on dates. I was super impressed that he would take his time to drive that far to see me--I knew he was something special.
After the summer, I came back to school. We dated and were soon engaged! We had a beautiful winter wedding. We were married in the Temple...a blessing that we had both desired so much! We have been tied together at the hip ever since then. Boy, it has gone by quickly!
Much has happened in those 9 1/2 years. Shortly after the wedding I was happily thrown into our family business with Mic and his brother. Mic and I have been able to work together since then. I love working in our gift shops and am so grateful that I get to spend each day with Mic.
We have been in our current home the last 7 years. We are blessed to live in the same city as all of Mic's family (mine are only 1 1/2 hours away). It is so nice to have family close by for holidays and celebrations. We love our neighborhood. We are lucky to have fantastic neighbors and a wonderful "church-family."
We are very busy in our church (ward). I just began serving in our ward's Youth Organization with the Young Women. I am excited to work with them, and get to know them and thier unique personality's! Mic is in the same organization, except he is working with the Young Men's Program. He is enjoying getting to know the boys and all of the different activities he's a part of with them.
We love each other very much and are very grateful to have found each other. It is amazing how well we balance out one another, especially when making decisions. I mainly let my heart guide me, where Mic most often thinks things through using logic. That balance helps quite a bit. When we are making decisions together for our family, we can see things from different perspectives. We may not always agree, but we respect one another and value each other's opinions. We work together to find common ground. We are both more than willing to compromise in favor of the other person because we love and respect each other so much.
Mic and I say a lot of "I love you's" throughout each day, but more than that, we try to show our "I love you's" in our actions toward one another. We love doing things for each other.
Mic often goes out of his way to surprise me with things he knows will make me happy. Whether it is a sweet note or if he brings home a favorite treat of mine from the grocery store, he loves to do these things when I am least expecting it.
When I am not working on a day that Mic is, I love to surprise him. Bringing him lunch, or leaving a little treat on his desk is something that I love to do to show him how much I love and appreciate him!
We also love to work together on projects for our home. Even raking leaves or repairing a toilet can be enjoyable because we have each other to joke around with!
We are excited to be a part of the new adventures Heavenly Father has in store for us...we are looking forward to experiencing them together.

Nicole's thoughts about Mic:
Let me tell you about Mic. I hope that I am able to relate to you the wonderful person he is, so you can feel as though you know him. Mic is the most special person I know, and he treats me as though I am the most special person he knows.
Mic can always bring a smile to my face. I am often smiling so hard that my cheeks hurt by the end of the day! He often catches people off guard with his sense of humor. Because of Mic’s reserved nature when we are first introduced to people, they often regard him as shy, but when least expected, Mic will say something that will have us all laughing so hard our sides hurt! It helps so much in our relationship to have humor. With so many serious things in the world, it is nice to be able to laugh a little (or a lot).
Another thing I love about Mic is how caring he is. He is always going out of his way for me. I cannot tell you how many times he surprises me with thoughtful gestures. I love Easter. It is one of my favorite holidays. I remember one year when we did not think to buy Easter gifts for each others’ baskets until it was time for bed the night before Easter. Little did I know, Mic had already gone out and bought some of my favorite treats. After I went to bed he put together a basket for me. When I woke up on Easter morning, I was so surprised to have had the “Easter Bunny” stop by! You would think that since he does these types of things so often, I would have some idea of when or where they are going to happen, but he often catches me off guard. I love it!
I have always been amazed at how perceptive, thoughtful and kind Mic is. I remember when we were first dating, he had made me a lemon cheesecake (my favorite treat). I did not even remember saying that I liked lemon cheesecake, but apparently he had remembered it from something I had said on our first date together. He still continues to put that much thoughtfulness and kindness into day-to-day things for me. I feel very fortunate to have him in my life. He is so perceptive that many times he will notice the needs of others, when many would not notice. If the two of us have offered to help a neighbor in need, it is usually Mic that made the suggestion. He has an amazing talent in serving others.
I feel very blessed to have a husband who loves his family so much. I appreciate how family is such a large priority in his life. It is fun to see Mic with our many nieces and nephews. I love to see him playing basketball, kick-ball or jumping on the trampoline with them!
I want to finish up by letting you know that I am very grateful to have Mic as my husband. I am amazed with his humble testimony and how well he listens to and acts on the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I often thank my Heavenly Father for blessing me with him. I learn so much from him each day, about the kind of person I want to become. He is among the greatest blessings I count myself lucky enough to have.

About Nicole...
Nicole's Hobbies:
Celebrating Holidays, Traditions, Family Get-Togethers, Game Nights with Family and Friends, Going on Picnics, Attending Musicals and Plays, Walking, Baking, Learning to Cook new things, Reading, Sudoku puzzles, Cross-Stitch (actually, making anything with her hands), Decorating for holidays, Animals, Photography, Piano, Singing, Sledding, Swimming, Camping, Canoeing, Traveling, Sending Cards and E-Cards to family & friends and Scrapbooking.
Mic's thoughts about Nicole:
I would love to tell you about my wife Nicole. She has so many traits that I admire and appreciate. First, I would like to share how committed she is to everything that she is involved with. Our family business can be demanding at times, and she is always willing to do whatever is needed to help me, our employees, or our customers. Even when we are faced with challenging circumstances, she cheerfully volunteers to remedy any situation. She is also dedicated to service in our church. She puts her whole heart into a lesson that she has been asked to teach, or into an activity that she is to plan. When we are blessed with a baby, she will be a full-time, stay-at-home mom. I know that she will be a wonderful mother by putting that same energy and dedication into helping that child feel loved and nurtured.
The next thing that is wonderful about Nicole is her unselfishness. When I get home from work, even when she has had a long day, she is more interested in making me happy instead of doing things for her. I love how she is always making my favorite foods and desserts (so far I have been able to find some time to run off the extra pounds). One time when I was gone for a business trip, Nicole called my mom to get my favorite recipe of a Thai dish (chicken with peanut sauce). I am always starving by the time I get home from the occasional trip, and she had a heaping pile of fabulous chicken waiting for me. She does so many other small things for me, like scratching my back or running errands for me.
That unselfishness spills over to every other relationship that she has. She is a very outgoing, friendly person and can put a smile on anyone’s face with a simple conversation. It is amazing to me how she can meet someone for the first time and talk to them as though they are best friends. She is always making cookies for new neighbors and does a great job of making them feel comfortable in their new surroundings. She loves inviting people over for games and sincerely wants to know them as individuals.
Another thing that I love about Nicole is how excited she gets for holidays, birthdays, and celebrations. Her enthusiasm helps make those around her happy! Our families get together for all of the holidays, and it is fun to watch Nicole help our nephews and nieces participate in the nativity, decorate sugar cookies, play Halloween party games, and celebrate any special occasion. Even though we do not have children, the two of us enjoy coloring Easter eggs, carving pumpkins, sledding, and watching Christmas movies together. We both look forward to creating additional traditions and lifelong memories with our children.
Nicole is a wonderful person, and there is no one that could be more compatible for me. I truly enjoy every moment that we share, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with her.

Family Time....
Mic and I, of course, get along very well together--which is great because we love spending time with one another.
We both love to exercise. We enjoy going on walks and short hikes. Attending sporting events together is something we love to do. Our favorite is basketball (though we also like going to hockey games). In the warmer weather we often go to the elementary school near our home in the evenings to play basketball with each other (Mic usually wins...if I let him). :) We enjoy living in Utah. Having the mountains nearby is wonderful, we love going up the canyon to cook tin-foil dinners and to roast marshmallows.
We also spend much time with our extended family (you'll read more about them later). Our families are always looking for reasons to get together, even if it is just for a movie or game night. We can never get enough of board games, we are both competitive and love to win! :)
Another thing that we have been blessed to be able to do together is to travel. We love going to new places to vacation and visit friends. It is just so much fun to be able to experience new places with each other. One of our favorite annual trips is to Christmas shop and to see the lights at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. We look forward to this tradition months before we go.
We enjoy any time that we can spend with each other, and make sure to make the most out of every bit of it!

On Parenting...
We are excited to be parents and to have little ones in our lives. We know we will love our children from the first knowledge of their existance, because love is the most amazing and natural thing. "Mommy" and "Daddy" are going to be the most special words we could ever hear .
I am excited to be able to stay home full-time with our children when they come. It will be wonderful to be able to be there for all their adventures and discoveries. I look forward to watching them grow and experience new things...watching their eyes light up with joy & excitement over the most simple of things. Since Mic is self-employed, it makes it so he has the flexibility to be at home for special activities and occassions. He is excited to support our children in the activities that are important to them, whether it be dancing, sports or music.
Having children will allow Mic and me to grow even closer together as we jointly teach them. We know that children learn by word and example, and we are excited to help guide them here on Earth. We are looking forward to the milestones & memories and all the smiles & hugs that we are going to be able to share with our children.
We know that Heavenly Father and Jesus will play an important role in our children's lives. Family prayer and scripture study will be something we continue to do as a family. As we go through all that our Heavenly Father has in store for us, we will learn and grow together. As a result, we will be more tightly knit together because of the love and support we will have for one another.

Our Family Tree....
We are very blessed with such a wonderful extended family. Since we've been married, we have been lucky enough to live within 10 minutes of Mic's family and within 1 1/2 hours of mine.
We see them often--for every family birthday, special events and for other "no-reason-whatsoever" occasions. :) Family dinners are among our favorites. There are so many times that we stay up too late because we are having so much fun laughing, telling stories, playing games and reminiscing. In between these family get-togethers, we often call, e-mail or send cards and letters to each other to keep up with family happenings.
Mic and I love each of our nieces and nephews...they are all so unique and different! We have often been able to tend them while their parent's are out of town. We do the whole "parent" thing: bedtime, bathtime, homework, meals and taking them to and from activities. Our favorite parts of those experiences though, are the "unplanned" times. We love it when we do something out of the ordinary--such as going and feeding bread to the ducks, coloring in their coloring books with them, frosting sugar cookies or reading a book with them. Many times when we are over at their home, we play games such as "Sharks & Minnows" (a 'tag' like game) and we jump on the trampoline with them. We always have such a great time with them! Many of our favorite memories include our extended families. :)
We are very fortunate to have had the love, support and prayers of our families. They are all really excited for us to start our family. Each and every one of them has been there with us on our journey to this point, and we know they are excited for these next steps. We have so many positive comments...our children are going to be well loved by everyone!

Thank you!
We know that you have many difficult decisions in your near future, decisions that we will not pretend to understand. However, we want you to know of the love we have for you and your child. We have complete confidence that you will make the best decisions for you and your baby. This must be foremost on your mind because of the immeasurable love you have for your child. We pray that you will feel God's love for you as you are guided by Him in making these decisions.
We hope that you are now able to know us a little better. We are looking forward to the opportunity of having children share the love that we have in our family. We are excited to offer them many different opportunities and activities to help them develop their own unique God-given talents. Most importantly, we want nothing more than to provide a loving environment where they can grow to recognize their true self worth.
We want you to know of our testimony of our Heavenly Father. We feel very blessed to know that he wants the very best for all His children here on Earth. Please know that even though we have never met, you are in our thoughts and prayers each day. We pray that Heavenly Father's love will be a comfort to you while you ponder the decisions you are making for yourself and for this child that you love so dearly.

We hope that you are now able to know us a little better. We are looking forward to the opportunity of having children share the love that we have in our family. We are excited to offer them many different opportunities and activities to help them develop their own unique God-given talents. Most importantly, we want nothing more than to provide a loving environment where they can grow to recognize their true self worth.
We want you to know of our testimony of our Heavenly Father. We feel very blessed to know that he wants the very best for all His children here on Earth. Please know that even though we have never met, you are in our thoughts and prayers each day. We pray that Heavenly Father's love will be a comfort to you while you ponder the decisions you are making for yourself and for this child that you love so dearly.
Sincerely,
Mic & Nicole
