In The Blink Of An Eye

Three years ago today we received Lily's formal referral from China. We were finally able to see the face of the child we already loved so, so much.

Tony and I were so incredibly excited that day that we were literally jumping for joy!! I still get goosebumps thinking about it. I imagine I always will.

To say I was C.R.A.Z.Y. in the days (or months) leading up to Lily's referral would be a huge understatement!! Now, I'm not saying all that craziness disappeared the second we received Lily's referral...because that would be a lie. What I am saying is seeing Lily's sweet little face for the first time brought be such joy and peace. It still does!

Lily is truly a dream come true. She is a sweet, happy, funny little girl that fills our days with love and laughter. We have been blessed beyond measure.
