Wow. It was not so long ago we were counting down the days and now we are literally counting down the hours. It seems so surreal that in just a few short hours we will be with the boys.
We are entering a new level of overwhelmed and have spent much of the day thinking and talking of all the things that brought us to this point.
-that crazy day 10 years ago when Diana first dropped the news that she was going to adopt in a whole other country... that most of us had never even heard of (you know who you are)
-then this little girl showed up and blew our minds.
-there was that awkward day in a mexican restaurant when I asked this hot chick if we could 'hang out' more... Like date and stuff... And I got nothing but crickets... Chirp Chirp. But she Came around.
-there were our adventures to Kandaria with a few crazy teams of people and even crazier moments (that I will not get into now) that made coming back to 'africa' not seem overwhelming.
-there was an amazing year and a half with Sam that cemented in our hearts a passion for children that we could have never imagined existed and now only continues to grow. We thought we had that heart, but now it is greater than ever as is our love, hope, and prayers for Sam. He is purposed for something great and we are praying toward that.
-then there was that first day we saw Asher and Will on the waiting children list... And they stole our hearts just like Lilly did with diana. Weeks and prayers later, they were still there waiting and now both sides only have a few more hours.
There is so much more to this story and all of you have played a huge role in one way or another. Thank you for walking this path with us.
