I want my first official blog entry to be about our trip to North Carolina. It was a wonderful trip! It started out rough though because we missed our flight out of Kansas City. We ended up spending all day in Kansas City and finally got to NC around 9:00pm (we started our journey at 3:30 am). We didn't get to meet our birth mom until the next day, but it was a wonderful day! We got to her house around 10:00 and were able to spend all morning with her and her parents. They are wonderful people and made us feel like family! Later we went to a lake, visited the temple grounds, went to the hospital where she will deliver, and had wonderful Southern food at a cute BBQ restaurant. The visit with our birth mom was a spiritual experience as we got to meet in person the beautiful woman who we have grown to love so much over the past weeks and months. Her parents are equally wonderful and we feel so privelaged to know them and be a part of their family as our two families are joined by a beautiful baby. One of the neatest parts of our trip was when we were able to feel our baby move inside her, it was super cool!! As we drove away from their house, Jonathan said "that was a perfect day." I couldn't agree more. We feel truly blessed. By the way, NC is a beautiful state and we look forward to our next trip!
