Referral Day 3 Year Anniversary

I am still in awe at how far she has come!

We bought her a small rose plant today.

I told her not to smile so she could look like she did in her referral picture and she kept laughing, here is one that worked!

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of receiving Myah's referral. I will never forget how elated we were that day, it was incredible to see the face of the little girl who we would be traveling across the world to meet and welcome into our lives. She became our daughter at that very moment. The moment that Mary opened the envelope and pushed the little pictures across the table. We knew when we saw a picture of her on a police car that she was always meant to be ours. I remember distinctly just staring at her pictures, I carried them with me everywhere and went to bed with them on my nightstand. I was trying to encrypt her face into my mind. I feel like such a heel, I thought that her referral day was tomorrow, I don't know how I got confused. Thanks to my good buddy Sheri for calling me and reminding me that it was today. We always spend it together, life has just got busy for us and hopefully soon we celebrate in person. Referral day would never have been as special if it weren't for those wonderful families that we got to share it with. We did manage to squeeze in a Chinese dinner tonight along with a little cake and flowers! Myah looked at photo albums today of when we were in China and she was full of questions and very intrigued! I can't wait till she can understand it all. Someday.

Happy Referral Day sweet girl, we love you more than we could have every expected!
