"Carry On"
by Olivia Holt (from Disneynature's Bears)
There's always gonna be some canyon in the way.
There's always gonna be a river I cannot cross.
Somewhere along this path that's chosen me
I know I'm gonna fall down, feel lost, feel weak.
But wherever it leads.
No one said this would ever be easy, my love.
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprints behind
And carry on, carry on, carry on, and carry on.
Some will write you off before you ever start.
Some will say the journey's just too hard.
Somewhere between right here and the other side
There will be fear and doubt in the deep dark night.
But we will survive, yeah.
No one said this would ever be easy, my love.
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprint behind
And carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on.
We may fall behind,
Lose miles along this road.
We will be alright,
I will never let you go.
No one said this would ever be easy, my love.
But I will be by your side when the impossible rises up.
We will travel this life well-worn,
No matter the cost, no matter how long.
We will leave our footprints behind
And carry on, and carry on...
Our little one will have to learn to live these lyrics very soon. I hope she knows that we are always here for her. She'll always have a place here. In our home and in our hearts.
LL's quotes:
- "I'm gonna guess what every girl's dream is. A pile of glitter!!!!! Yup, that's what I want for Christmas!"
- "Are you allowed to hold a BB gun if you're in foster care?"
Making progress! She put her nickname and the # 7 for her age in the middle. :)
She's not done yet, but I had to share! I tried to tell her that less is more, but I don't think she wanted to take that advice. Bry said it's crazy and busy and beautiful, just like her.
CiCi's lunch with her bestie!
She sure is gonna miss this girl.
Watch out...more PhotoBooth fun!
:)
A serious one!

About Us:
We began our foster journey in mid-August 2013. We finished our classes in October, had our home study in early January, and we were licensed on February 7, 2014. After seven calls from CPS, we received our first placement, a 7-year-old girl (our Little Lady, or LL for short) on April 3, 2014. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our journey through the craziness that is foster care. Most importantly, thanks for your prayers, love, and support. We hope to encourage fellow foster/adoptive parents as we document our ups and downs each day.
