Heart We finalized this morning...

We are so happy. It was a great day. First court, then we went to the National Aquarium. We recognized several couples from some of the classes we took. We were so happy for them as well. Two of the caseworkers from our agency came. It was really sweet of them.

That is terrific. I wish we had gotten an invite to the aquarium! I would have brought turkey loaf!

Seriously, I'm sure you are walking on air today. Congrats.
