Gotcha Day

Wow!!!! It feels just like yesterday and it also feels like it has been so long!!!! 2 years ago today Garrett was placed in our arms forever!!!! I actually looked at the clock today and saw that it was 3:00 pm...which is 2:00pm Denver time. That is actually the time it was when we went to the Cradle Care home to pick Garrett up. We got to the house and visited with Tiffany for a moment and then she handed Garrett to me...to hold in my arms and heart forever!! I will never forget that moment or forget the sacrifice that she made!!!

We had a celebration today for Garrett's Gotcha Day. Our dear friends and some of our family came to the house and we had munchies and cake/cupcakes. My dear friend Lindsey made a cake that said "Happy Gotcha Day Garrett" and said "You'll always be our sunshine" around it. It was wonderful and so true!! He is our sunshine and he brightens our day everyday!!!
For those of you who don't know our story, someday I will post our entire adoption journey for you to read. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful support system and we thank every one of you for always being there for us!!!
