1 year ago!

Exactly one year ago today we got a phone call that would change our family forever. Those of you who know me well, know that I am very sketchy on details. Especially if they are over 24 hours old. I am very much the "out of sight out of mind" type person. But, I remember everything about February 24th 2009. I remember picking Brennan and my nephew up at school. I remember taking them for ice cream and laughing the whole time. I remember feeling that "we had the best day ever". Yet, I didn't imagine receiving one phone call that day that would for sure make it "the best day". We were coming home in the car with the radio up loud singing Taylor Swift at the top of our lungs when my phone rang. After quieting the kids down I answered to hear the words that we were chosen. The second, literally, my phone rang Brennan knew what it was. Before I answered she said "someone chose us". I vividly remember pulling over on the side of the road to talk. Here is where my details are sketchy because in all the excitement, I am not sure I really listened to much of the details. All I heard was "someone loves your family". Then I remember Brennan and Kurtis running laps around my car and then running out in a field screaming. Kurtis was too precious. He knew we were hoping for someone to join our family. But he was so excited that day because Brennan was so happy. He was thrilled for her. Never in a million years could I have pictured this past year to unfold the way it did. Of course, we prayed for it to be that way, but it was so perfect! Sawyer is such a perfect fit for our family!!! Everything she does, from milestones to food, she does it her own way. With no rhyme or reason; very much a "Moore" thing. We are blessed beyond words and so thankful that we have family & friends who want to share our joy with us.
