I800 Approved!

Today we received our immigration approval!!!  It was approved on 8/26/16.  That day has significance for two reasons.  First, I saw a lady bug that day.  In the China adoptive community, lady bugs are always a good sign.  I even said to a fellow adoptive mom at that moment, "I hope that is God's way of telling me that our I800 is approved!"  Only God!  He's got this!  Secondly, Matt and I celebrated ten years of marriage on August 26th.  We would have never pictured our lives like this ten years later, but God's plans are perfect.  We are thankful for his saving grace each day.  The past ten years have been filled with blessings, trials, and everything in between.  We wouldn't change a thing.  We look forward to the years ahead.  We are so grateful for family that watched the kids this summer during our anniversary getaway to Costa Rica.  We also found a new babysitter that watched the kids for a night out on the big day.  God is so good!
