Time Goes By

Sarah and Mia! Mia is the daughter of our dear friends, Mark and Julie. We met them while we were still paperchasing and Mia was almost 2 years old. It has been so wonderful having them as friends. We are so sad that they are soon moving on to their next base. It is so wonderful that we have our daughters from China and our Christian faith as our common bond. I have no doubt that we will remain friends for a long time.

Is it really possible that one month ago today we boarded a plane and left the country of our daughter's birth? It just does not seem like it. We have loved every minute of having her in our lives. It's like she was meant to be with us, which we know is true. Every minute of the long wait was worth it just for her.

I love that we have so many "firsts" to still experience. Today for the first time, Sarah gave me kisses. My heart was overflowing. This child who was born of my heart has stolen it forever. I can't imagine not having her here.

I do have pictures to post, I just need to download them. Right now though, I'm trying to rearrange the living room. Allen isn't home, so he is going to love seeing the mess I've created. The only thing I can't move is the TV and everything in the stand.
