One Year Ago Today...


On October 31, 2006 all my hopes and dreams were packed into my heart as I boarded the plane to China. My baby was waiting for me and the door was opening into the greatest joys of my life. I will never forget the awe-filled days of the trip that took me across the world and gave me my greatest treasure, Abbey Zhuozhuo.


Thank you God!

    And one year ago today, we were anxiously checking your blog waiting to see you two together at last! God is so good. He has given a mommy her baby and His child her mommy.

    Congratulations on one year together. The way you two are together makes it seem like it's been years together!

    I complain about the wait...but then am amazed at how fast time flys! Total contradiction. :)

    Can't believe it's been a year.
    And what a wonderful year it's been !!

    Oh that's great...
    you're a teacher and my fingers get to typing too fast and I spell "flies" wrong.
    Sorry! LOL!

    I remember how excited I was for you! We were all keeping you and Abbey in our prayers.

    Happy anniversary to you!

    Oh how well I remember one year ago today (truthfully, I was a little jealous you and your brother were flying out a day earlier than us! Isn't that silly?)

    It has been one amazing year -- isn't it wonderful?

    By the way...in one of Katie's referral pictures she's wearing the orange striped dinosaur outfit that Abbey's wearing in this picture...another bit of "glue" that will hold our precious daughters (and we Moms) together forever!

    Hard to believe it's been an entire year already. Where has the time gone? God had truly blessed the two of you with each other!

    I knew the anniversary was coming up! It is really hard to believe that it is actually one year! Both of you, especially Abbey, have changed so much in the last year--both stretching and changing more that you thought would be possible. Praise God for His perfect timing and grace and giving you patience to wait to get the daughter of His dreams for you!
    Lots of Love and Prayers!

    We were so happy to finally meet you in person.

    The next few days were so grand. I don't think we will ever be able to top our China trip, after all it's the trip that gave us our little bundles of joy.

    Congratulations on your one year anniversary. My wife and I are the proud parents of 2 girls from China, Hannah is now a wonderful 6 year old, and Kimberly, who is the other child in the picture with your beautiful daughter. We became a family with Kimberly on January 11th, 07.
