A boy? Really!?

JANUARY 19, 2010!
A date that will live in infamy!
Denise is @ school doing um, kindergarten type stuff. It's about lunch time, 11:30-12:00. She gets a page over the intercom that she has a phone call from America World! The whole world stops..she drops her soup she was heating up, spilling it's delicious contents all over the linoleum floor. Racing down to the office to receive this most anticipated phone call she comes to find out that we have been matched with.....a boy. Now, set the Way Back Machine to earlier that morning. Troy is working w/another field rep. down in New Philadelphia. Busy day scheduled, finish up in New Philly, drive over to Mansfield, and then another field call in Norwalk. Cell phone rings, it's the wife. Time stops, again. Something about a referral, a boy, gotta get home...It's all a blur honestly!
Now the clock is ticking. Ze was a "shared referral" which meant we had 24 hours to look over the information we were sent, have his medical information gone over by a physician, and decide! Piece of cake, yeah right!
God is definitely running the show @this point! As Denise is talking on the phone, the school nurse happens by. Now, mind you, she wasn't even supposed to BE there THAT DAY! She overhears the good news and Denise relays the need for medical review. The nurse's brother works as, you know it, a general practitioner, out of state. He and his wife have their own practice and he's NOT WORKING today either! How crazy is that! "Sure, fax down the information, I'd be happy to look it over." The craziness is just running rampant @this point! Denise rushing home to go over the information in our email, trying to email the pictures to Troy's Blackberry, blasted Sprint, no service in this area! Finally, somewhere on I-77 the pics come through and there he was. Three little pictures and our whole world gets turned upside down!

  1. Okay, now I'm crying when I'm supposed to be getting ready for work! I guess I'm glad I didn't put any makeup on yet.

    We are so excited for you -- can't wait until we meet your son!

  2. I can't even imagine what you two are feeling but I can see Denise doing exactly that, and you trying like crazy to get the pictures of your son to be. God is always in control, as u said Troy, but it is so amazing when His plan becomes apparent to us mortals. We will continue to pray that all will go well. Love to all. UM
