The night my life changed forever.

First picture together March 2011

It has been 2 years since that night and I remember the whole day like it was yesterday, I mean how could I not? It was in fact the best night/day of my entire life! The day started out like a normal day, but we all knew it wasn't going to be like the days that had happened before. We woke up in the morning, got dressed, ate breakfast and did all of our normal day to day things. Well as normal as we could since mommy and daddy were not here. I asked Mae mae if she knew what was going to happen that night and she just kept saying "Mommy, Daddy and Vahnya are comping HOME" it was the cutest thing. Manda and Josh were at school and the rest of us were at home with our cousins waiting to go to the airport, to see you.

"In 3 hours I will meet you for the first time, I will hug you and kiss you I will look in those amazing brown eyes and tell you I love you!!!!!

I just want to jump up and down and run outside screaming "Vahnya is coming he is coming he is COMING" at the top of my lungs! Buddy we CAN'T WAIT to meet YOU!!!!!

Some people tell me "He is going to be so blessed to be apart of your family" and I think we are going to be the BLESSED ones to have you apart of our family!!!!
I love you buddy and can't wait to see you tonight!!!


Forever and Always 
love sissy"

When I read that I get the chills and my eyes start to tear up. Buddy I was SO excited to meet you and hold you, I could barely contain myself. At about 6pm on March 30th 2011 Manda, Kenzy, Jordan, Mae mae and I walked down to QFC and got you a HUGE snail balloon(you loved it) and cupcakes.  Once we got back from the store it was finally time. We got into the car with Uncle Steve, Aunt Jacky and our cousins and headed for the airport. It took about 15-20minutes to finally get there and the whole entire time I was shaking, and texting Caitlin and Ashley, telling them how excited I was and letting them know how much longer it would be before you got home.

Once we finally got to the airport we went inside and waited, and waited, and waited. It felt like forever. At 8:45pm your plane landed and you were on your way down the "path" with mommy and daddy.  We stood right up by the gate and held up your sign and balloon. We were all looking over everyone else in the airport trying to find you guys and when I spotted you guys I held back my tears. Everyone was shouting "I see them" "There they are"

Daddy was carrying some bags and mommy was pushing you in your stroller. Was this really happening? Was I about to meet you for the very first time after waiting for what seemed like years?  You guys came through the gate and I gave momma a huge hug. Manda bent down and picked you up out of your stroller. When I got to finally hold you, you were so much lighter than I though you would be, you felt like a feather.

After playing on the play structure and with the leggos that they have at the airport we went home. On our way home we stopped at Taco Bell because Mommy and Daddy hadn't eaten in a few hours and we were all hungry. Mommy and Daddy went inside and all of us kids stayed in the car. We were all watching you and saying how cute you were. 

We got home, put you in your warm fuzzy green jammies and played the rest of the night. I can't believe it has been 2 years since that wonderful, beautiful, amazing night. Buddy you mean the world to me. I cannot put in to words how much you bless me, you are the most amazing person I know. I am so very honnored that God would allow ME to be your big sissy. I have no idea what I ever did to deserve you in my life, but I'm glad I did it! 

-Forever and Always
