A Year Ago Today,

we were waking up after my sister's amazing wedding celebration. We had a leisurely morning spending time with my mum's family (from Scotland, Australia, and Texas whom we don't get to see often!) before some of them had to head home. When we got in the car to head home, it was with a feeling of relief that the craziness of planning everything was over and that we could start focusing on what was next. We were involved in a match for a domestic adoption and the mother was due to be induced the very next day! As we pulled onto our road, we received a phone call from our social worker, the baby had been born and we were back in frenzy mode trying to get everything ready to travel to Connecticut! The rest is history, another story that I think most of you know the end to. It's not the story I'll tell today though (but if you would like to read about it, click here). I've been thinking about this day coming all week. Remembering the emotions we were feeling and just thinking how amazing it is to be where we are just one year later. What didn't occur to me though, until this very moment at 6:40 in the morning is totally blowing my mind to think about. How poetic is it that today is the randomly assigned day that we will appear in the Rockingham Probate Court for Ana's re-adoption in New Hampshire?
