The Best Birthday

It was February 1, 2007 and I felt something was in the air. I was glued to my computer that night (ok, like many other nights!) and all the suddden the CC@@ box changed to indicate that February 2006 submitted dossiers were out of review!!! WOW! The excitement across my group of blogger friends was almost palpable. Oh and yeah, the CC@@ used to have an info box available to the general public back in the old days! Well, I thought that was the best birthday gift ever! Having Ellie home couldn't be too far off in the future, I thought.

"Several months" later and Ellie and I are finally a family. The love and pride I feel on this day for her is tremendous. This is truly the best birthday gift one could ask for. Happy birthday to me! =)

Seems the rest of the U.S. will be having their own celebrations in my honor today, maybe a little chip and dip, a beverage or two, perhaps a little TV watching. Enjoy the day! =)
