We were both cast in the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Kip was Adam, and I was Liza. We became fast friends, and ended up dating the following year in 1986. At the end of my Senior year, Kip and I went different directions in life. Kip went in the Army and served the the 1st Gulf War, and I went off to Ricks, and then on to Beauty School. In the fall of 1993 we ran into each other at a Glencoe football game, and then kept in contact and in March of 1994 started dating and falling in love all over again. We were then Married on December 10th 1994.<br />We had a long hard struggle with infertility, and finally made the decision to adopt. What a wonderful experience this has been, we have been truly blessed with 3 beautiful children and know that our struggle was the only way that our true children would make it to our home. Nick joined our family at age 4, and joined us on Mothers Day of 1998. Trey and Karissa followed 9 months later and joined us when they were 5 days old.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/581541479594645468-1581549719964150405?l=dnksmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Donalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203385524528488568noreply@blogger.com0
