Welcome to Our New Blog

Welcome everyone to our new blog. We closed down our old blog since the primary reason for that blog ended. If you didn’t read our old blog feel free to check us out at http://www.7999miles.blogspot.com/. It talks about our adoption of our son, Malachi Natineal Schaper Horton, from Ethiopia. We came home on February 13th and have been a happy family of four since then.


In case you don’t know who we are we”ll take a brief minute to introduce ourselves. We are Adam, Sarah, Leah, and Malachi. Adam is an accountant for an electric company, Sarah is a hairdresser, Leah is a stubborn 2 1/2 year old, and Malachi is our gigantic 10 month old son. We are very involved in our church Selmore Baptist Church.


We plan for this blog to serve many purposes. The primary purpose is to keep family and friends updated on what is going on with our family. The second reason is to give Adam a place where he can vent and say what’s on his mind. Warning, he leansright politically, ok, some might say he’s just all the way to the right. In speaking of left/right we refer to liberal/conservative, NOT democrat/republican. They’re all the same aren’t they? The family also has a desire to get healthy so we’re going to use this blog to hold us accountable to being healthy. Adam needs to lose around 40lbs. He’s turning 30 in less than a month and he has a huge fear of being 30, fat, and bald. Sarah doesn’t need to lose weight but just wants to be in better shape.


We hope you enjoy our blog. Feel free to comment or just read.
