A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip to courthouse to witness our happy ending. Thank you to our families who traveled from many states (some just for 24 hours) to be here as our family grew. Thank you to our church family, not only for filling the courtroom, but for helping put out food at the party and for helping to clean up after, and also for being in the trenches with us day in and day out. Our journey would not be possible without you.
