On November 12 2008, we finalized our adoption of Georgia. I really didn't think it would be very emotional, but I really had to hold back the tears a few times during the questions. It was pretty intimidating I must say, being in front of a judge having them question you as parents. It was simply a neat experience. Afterwards we met the judge, he even held Georgia, he also walked up to Scott's sister Stephanie and said "you must be the grandma" (sorry Steph), Just to make you feel better, I took her up to Scott's office and one of the girl's asked if she was our grandchild, yes, we will be 60 when she graduates from high school, but that is what we have Briaunna for right? Our built in mom just in case Scott and I kick the bucket. I am just so grateful for all my daughters. As Maddie would say "Mom, don't you think it is interesting that you have 3 kids and have only been pregnant once, and their not triplets?" All I can say is I wouldn't trade my life for anything and I am so grateful everyday for the joy and love I get to feel being a mom. I knew we would have another child, I didn't know when or how, but I knew we would, and we did. Heavenly Father has a plan for everyone and when we are patient, we are blessed. We have been blessed. She is ours through and through and we can't imagine life without her. She has been such a blessing. We thank everyone for coming and enjoying this great day with us! We love you!
Of course we have to involve food in all things, so we went to Joe Vera's for dinner afterwards.

Congrats!!! Isn't is the best feeling ever! You are so glad to have the day finally arrive but the emotions still are there. And yes we were intimidated. When you walking into that room and answered the questions praying that you were saying the right thing. I am just so happy for you. We share in the same joy.
I am so happy for you guys! Georgia is the cutest thing and totally fits in with the family. You are such a terrific mom and I appreciate all of the wonderful things you said. God does have a plan for each of us. :-) I love you!
