Gotcha Day 2 Year Anniversary

Today if you take in the time difference is our 2 year anniversary (April 7, 2005) for Hannah's Gotcha Day. If I am remembering correctly we were probably on our way to our hotel in Changsha. There were so many emotions running through me head as we were flying in to Changsha. The dream that I have had for life was about to come true. I was going to become a mother. For several months we only had a picture of our Hannah. From the moment that I saw the picture I was in love with her. She is my baby. We have been so blessed the past two years to have her in our lives. It is so hard to image my life without her. She makes me laugh, cry, and want to scream and sometimes all at once. I would not trade her for anything in this world. I thank God that He has intrusted her to us for the time being.

I remember the day that we went to get her. When the bus pulled up to the civil affairs building and we all started to unload we could her the girls crying inside the building. As we walked into the room all the families were looking for their baby. We all waiting patiently for our baby's name to be called. the moment that they put her into my arms it felt so right. She fit perfectly. I still love holding her in my arms and rocking her.

Elvis and Hannah

Greg has got Hannah hooked on Elvis. We have a cd that she loves to listen and sing to while we are in the car. She will ask to listen to Elbis. I think that one of her favorite songs is the Good Luck Charm. I have been trying to find some of his movies for her to watch. I always remember watching his movies (reruns of course) after church on Sundays. I would stand in the middle of the living room dancing and singing. I think Hannah has picked up on my old habits.

House Hunting

Coming this Wednesday our house has been on the market for one week. We have had one offer on the house that we have counter offered on. We also found a house that we have made a verbal offer on. It is a cute house in the country. There are cows next door. Hannah would really like that. We will see if they accept our offer. We will also be looking at more houses on Saturday. Hopefully it will be over early so we can celebrate Gotcha Day with Hannah.
