Happy Anniversary!!!

Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of Gabbi's homecoming to Canada. Her anniversary with her daddy and her brothers! I can't believe it has been two years already! I remember that day.. the longest day of my life. I was terrified something was going to go wrong. I am not sure that everyone reading here knows the whole story, but basically on February 28th my mom and I left on our journey to Ethiopia to get Gabbi. Our trip was supposed to be simple. We would get Gabbi and spend a few days in Ethiopia and come home. Our trip was supposed to be 7 days. Well everything that could have gone wrong went wrong and we ended up there for over three weeks waiting on Gabbi's Canadian Visa to come. The pouch that brings the visa from Nairobi to Addis came every Thursday and we waited for three Thursday's and no visa came. We had no idea when it would come. I had to make the choice to hire a nanny for Gabbi and leave her there and come home. It was awful, every horrible thought you can imagine when through my mind. I seriously thought there was a chance I would never see her again! It took two more Thursday's after we left for her visa to come and then my adoption agency flew her home to us. I did not sleep the entire time. So when you see that video that I posted weeks ago of me in the airport clinging to Gabbi and crying.. that was why! I was so happy that she was home.. you have no idea!!!

We actually didn't do anything too exciting yesterday. Gabbi is still a bit young to understand, but I did take the above picture of her, we went out for ice cream, played at the park and were just thankful we all found each other!
