Today is the day and I couldn't be more happy

Isn't this a great picture? I think it says it all and maybe this is the reason for my journey.



Two years ago as I sat at Sarah's while she waxed my brows I was telling her that we were adopting again. She asked me about it and I showed her a picture I had with me. That was the extent of this conversation. Well a few weeks had gone by and she calls me and this is kindof what I remember- she says something like "so I have to tell you something, when you were here getting your brows done and told me you were adopting I thought it was great. Then you showed me the picture and I of course thought he was cute." But after you left that day I said to myself "how on earth can you really fall in love with a picture and I really had a good laugh about you" seriously she was like "I laughed when you told me you fell in love with a picture." Well then she saw something on a TV show during those few weeks since she saw me and really felt like it was something she was suppose to do. So she called me and started asking lots of questions and I shared where we were adopting from and told her they had a website she could look at. Well this is the next call I get "there is a little boy on the website and I know we are suppose to adopt him" I haven't told Russ yet but I was up all night and I couldn't sleep and she went on and on. I told her who to contact and the rest is history and TODAY is the day that my friend is bringing this sweet little boy home.

Today is the day she starts her journey to go get her little boy. I can't wait till Monday to see them home and will be praying for their safe return.



To Sarah and Family

I am so excited for your journey this weekend. It is the culmination of a very long wait and a lot of emotions. I know we have talked about the different things people have said to me and to you "I hope this wait is short for Sarah's sake" or "Sarah will have a nervous breakdown before this is over" but you know what, you have done it with Determination and with Grace. You are a great mother who knew this was your child and went for it with all your Heart. I am so proud of you and I hope and pray that you will enjoy this last leg of the journey, take it all in and be grateful for all that is to come. I pray that you will know that your Heavenly Father is by your side and is aware of all your needs. I love you and I am grateful that I could be a small part of this journey with you. All of your family is so excited and they will Love on him with all that they are. Thank you for all you do for me and our friendship. Remember that picture you fell in Love with, now I can laugh at you and smile that you fell in Love.

Love
Crystal
