Locked and Loaded!

Our People! We are finally leaving Georgia! Agghhh... Don't get us wrong, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in GA, everyone was so nice and very happy for us wherever we went. Whether it was at the hospital, walking around 'Cobb Mall' or at the hotel's breakfast bar, everyone gave us well wishes and beamed at our newborn (much as I imagine all of you will do when you read this & see Evan yourself the first time. smile). So as we slept in, thanks to powdered formula (who knew?) as opposed to the liquid we've been using but ran out, Hannah left a 'gift' on our voicemail that we are good to go home! We packed our stuff took some pictures, prepared the baby and off we have went! Let's talk about what we will miss...
Having someone else pay the rent for a week! lol. Thank you again a million times Tara!
What we will miss is Courtney. We didn't visit but once after Evan was born because we we so busy getting adjusted but we love her so much.
Courtney, if you are reading this, you know you have changed our lives. We know that you are as excited for us as we are that you have given us such a gift. You have also given Evan the life you want him to have and with that, you have made you're first responsible decision on behalf of your child. We hope you will always feel proud of your choice. Your unselfish sacrifice effects everyone we know because a stranger has not passed our way without knowing how badly we wanted a family. Not a stranger has passed that hasn't prayed for us to get a baby and that also prayed for our potential birth mother to choose us. You chose us. In my prayers at night when I would plead to my Heavenly Father for our dream of having children to come true. I prayed that our birth mother would 'recognize' us when she saw us (be familiar to her) and we would also 'know' her when we saw her (we didn't want to
miss a thing) and since we first talked on the phone it is as if we Have recognized each other and always known each other. You said it best when we met in person the first time. You said it felt like a reunion and I told you that I believe we knew each other before we came to earth & somehow hatched this plan to help each other. We're so grateful our plan came together... We love you and look forward to seeing you again.
With that I will leave this posting to stare at my beautiful sleeping son and reminisce with Michael on what has just happened to us and what is next to come...
