We had an amazing time on Saturday at the baby shower that the girls at our church threw for us!!! We just wanted to say thank you to Veronica, Jennifer and Janice, and for everyone else that helped to make it an amazing event!!! Everything was so beautiful all decorated in pink, and the cake was adorable!!! We had many of our church friends and family there with us to celebrate!!!! We had snacks and punch, and of course we had received alot of gifts for Alyssa!!! The shower started with a beautiful prayer given by Veronica, and then we began snacking and socializing. Instead of playing games, we had a great time just sharing the story of our adoption journey so far. We told of how we came to choose AWAA for our agency, and how when we went to one of the seminars given by AWAA that we knew that the Lord had His plan for our family to adopt. We told of the endless paperwork, paperwork that even continues on today. We told of the day that we finally had gotten the call from Kristen that said, "We found her!!!". We shared the story about our first trip, and through my many tears, told everyone what a blessing that this has been!!!
I know that a fews tears were shed by our guests, but we know that they were happy tears, hearing the story of how a family formed by love and formed by the Lord just makes you happy in your heart!!!
We want to thank all of our church family for their many, many prayers and many blessings that they have given to us on this journey. To our Lord and Savior, we Thank You most of all for showing us your endless love, and for being with us by our side everyday of our lives!!!
Here are a few pics from the amazing shower!!!! Julie
