1 year ago it was official!

More memories!  On April 16th, 2009 we officially became Blake's parents.  We could breath a huge sigh of relief when that day was over.  It was fun to do back and read last year's entry.  This part in particular made me laugh - I can still remember the craziness of it!

We spent the morning hanging out with the True Family (Sandy, Ryan, and Bodi) and picking their brains about court. Around noon we decided to go back to the room and reread our homestudy, Blake’s medical and family information, and make a list of notes to have with us in court. We were to be picked up in the lobby around 2:30-2:45 for our 4:00 court session. Well because there was NOTHING else to do, Justin and I began getting ready for court early. We decided to be in the lobby at 2:15 just to be on the safe side – and to get us out of our room! At 2:12 the phone in our room rings. It was Lana, our interpreter. She said, “Heather, there has been a mistake (insert here – heart pounding, lump in throat developing, stomach turning). The judge changed the court time to 2:00 not 4:00. She only told half of the people 2:00. Irina will be there to pick you up in ten minutes. Please be ready!” Well that sure made things interesting.

I think the entry I did yesterday on our 'public' blog shares some great pictures of how far we have come over the past year!
