One year ago today we saw the sweet face of the baby girl who was to become our daughter for the very first time. We knew we were getting close to the big day, but didn't know just when the call would come. On the afternoon of November 20, 2007, we got the long awaited call from our coordinator, Tonya that we had a baby girl. She was 6 days old, healthy, and beautiful! I was determined that Mark and I would open the pictures at the same time, but gosh, it seemed like it took forever for my computer at work to let them through the email system! Finally, several long minutes later, we laid eyes on our beautiful girl. It was an indescribable feeling. I wanted to cry, but I was just so happy that I couldn't wipe the smile from my face!
Obviously this day one year ago changed many lives forever. The weeks and months that followed both crept and flew by. The days we waited seemed so long at the time, but looking back, it was no time at all. This is just one of many days that are forever etched in my memory. A day I'll always look back on as one of the happiest days of my life. Happy one year referral-versary, Miss Priss Pants! I love you!

What a great day that must have been! I just love those memories. When we got Danielle's referral I drove to a restaurant and Mike left work to meet me and we openned the Fed Ex together and then both cried and read every word of the info. Referral is like the first day as a family together.
