Our Big Day

As promised, here are pictures of our big day yesterday! We met in Lima at the Golden Corral (yummy)!!

Saying our good byes


Once last group shot (I should have asked someone to take it so Jon could have jumped in, oh well, there's always next time!


We had the most amazing time. I was like we've known Jocelyn for years! We didn't talk about meeting up again, but I'm sure we will see them again! I would love to take Jocelyn out for a soda/coffee some time, just the two of us to talk and really get to know each other. We are only 2 years apart in age...and I think we could be good friends.

We had so many people praying for us yesterday and we could feel God's presents at our table. It was the most relaxed dinner (until Aliya decided it was time to go) and I didn't want the night to end. We owe this woman so much for giving her daughter life and giving us her... What courage and strength...what love.
