DETAILS!!!!!!!! :)

I'm sure everyone is wanting  ALL the details of our referral call...that always what I want to read on folks blogs anyway! ;)

August 18, 2009 was the day we actually got the call...I know I should have already updated my blog but its just been crazy bust around here...sorry!!!

So here goes.....

I had several appointments that day and realized when I left the house I had forgotten my phone...well I was already running late for my hair appointment so deceided I couldn't go back and would have to just leave it home for the day. After the hair appointment me and my husband both had dentist appointments so we headed there next. Finally we headed home and I had to get some stuff together for dance practice at our church that night (I am on a dance team at our church) and I happend to glance over at my phone and I thought I bet I have a million missed calls...lol. Well I went over and pick it up and look at my missed calls and I saw a 541 number and I KNEW it was Holt!!!! I immediatley freaked out!!! They had called my phone around 12pm and now it was 5:30pm!!! I frantically ran and plug my phone in because the battery was almost dead and try to listen to the voicemail they left...well of course my battery was too low and it wouldn't let me to nothing so then I really start freaking out! Im running all around the house and my husband is like what in the world is wrong with you....and I am trying to tell him I think Holt just called my phone and I cant listen to the message they left and I bet there are thinking why in the world has this girl not called us back yet. My husband told me to calm down and just call them..lol! My mind was completly not working and I was thinking their offices were closed because it was 5:30pm. Totally forgetting about Oregon being 2 hours behind us!! lol! So finally I get it together enough to grab my husbands phone and dial Holt and you guessed it...the line is BUSY!!! So after a few tries on that number I go find another number for Holt that I had saved in my phone a month or so ago and Erin answers the phone!!!! Before she can even say a word I go through the whole story explaining what happend and she is laughing saying Jessica called you let me get her on the phone. So after all of this Jessica gets on the phone and asks would I like to hear about a little girl's file....and I want to scream YES!!!!!!...but I hold myself together and just say of course we do. Then she proceeds to tell me about our daughter...and then I feel the tears coming...it was the most surreal feeling hearing someone else tell you about your child! No words can describe...I was just in awe to hear about her... its a moment I will never forget!!! Well then I get off the phone and try to go back to getting music together for dance and wait for the email but of course my mind couldn't focus on anything but I am about to see my daughter's face for the first time...my husband was so calm...he always is though! lol! So finally I check my email and me and my husband open the file and look at our daughter's face for the first time! It was just pure JOY! From that moment we KNEW she was our daughter!!!! It was such a crazy and wonderful day!!! Whew...that was the short version too!!!
