525,600 Minutes!

Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand

Six Hundred Minutes...

  Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear....
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in your life?

How about love?  Measure in love!

 

One Year Ago Today...  at 10 in the morning, in the middle of me conducting a very important meeting, I received 3 back to back phone calls from my social worker, and one very excited 911 text (gotta love her!).  

 

  

We Have A Boy!!!!!  

 

 

And I opened my email (after running to the nearest bathroom for privacy...lol) and saw the most adorable face staring back at me from 4 gorgeous photos!   And my life changed FOREVER!  

 

 

Its been 365 days since our referral, 17 months since our acceptance into the Korea program, and 2 years since our initial application.  A very long and emotional road that was only supposed to last 4 months but eventually stretched to 12, waiting for an incredibly special, very happy little boy...  A road that (I hope) will end in a few weeks with my son in my arms!!!      

 

 

We definitely choose to "Measure in love"  and thank all the friends and family members who supported us throughout this (many times) tumultuous journey.   Love you guys!
