Today's Surprise

So today as I walked into school a friend told me to come down to the library. Little did I know that there were 25 of my coworkers waiting in our adoption t-shirts to take a picture with me!!!! Two of my friends worked with my husband to order and deliver the shirts without me even knowing. This is a huge accomplishment, because I am always curious about everything and usually find everything out. Brad and my friends were happy they pulled this one off!!
What a blessing it was all day to walk around and see almost every teacher where our adoption shirt and show their excitement for us bring Jacob home!!! I also love all the questions the students had all day. It was so neat to hear some kids that I don't even know say things like "I didn't know you are getting a baby from Africa, cool" or "I want to go to Africa too" or "those are cool shirts" or "Can you take some of my toys to the kids in Ethiopia?"
Thank you to all my coworkers for all your support, not only today, but every day that you ask about our process or ask to see pictures of Jacob- it means the world to me to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about us. I am very thankful that Brad and I work with people who share in our excitement each day!! I can't wait until we have Jacob home and we can bring him to school to meet everyone!!!

Becky came late so we got a picture with her too! There were about 3 other teachers I didn't get a picture with, but thank you to all of you too!!


Thanks to Angie, Erin, and Brad for pulling off this surprise! What a wonderful way to end a wonderful week!!
