9/9/9 a date to remember

-in a recent conversation with Lindsay
"...I remember the day I met you guys. Its still funny that you were nervous. You didn't really have to convince me, I knew you guys were right when I saw your pictures :) I don't even think I read your profile the first time I saw it..."
We couldn't wait for this day to come any quicker than it did.
One year ago we met our little
sPunKy MamA!!
With fears, anxiety, excitement and the unknown...
We hoped and prayed that she really was the answer to our prayers. We hoped and prayed she finally was the vessel that would bring us our baby! We hoped and prayed that we would feel an instant connection and know this was right. We hoped and prayed we would love her and be able to show her that we would be great parents, and that we'd protect and love this baby unconditionally that she was about to share with us.
We hoped and prayed that we would all feel a burning confirmation that this was how it was supposed to be.
Our hopes and prayers were answered.
We both had something the other didn't have.
We needed each other!

What a touching post! I remember reading last year about your camping trip and frantic phone call to your husband, only to find out your prayers were answered! I can't believe it's been a whole year now!. Congratulations, you have a beautiful family!
