The Best Valentine's Gift



Valentine's Day is a special day for our family. Over 8 years ago we stood in the San Antonio Courthouse and finalized Kylee's adoption into our family. So every year we celebrate "family day." Well this year Kylee surprised us with a gift. Inside a box was a home-made spa treatment (very aromatic we might add) and a letter to us. Neither one of us could get through the letter without shedding tears of joy.

Here is what overjoyed our hearts.

Tonight is a very special night. As you open your present do one thing. Read the story here.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl 2 days old who was out in adoption.
There were two parents that wanted a baby.
They got married at age nineteen and prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed.
They trusted God to give them their wish.
Then finally they got a call saying they had a baby girl.
That's our story. I love you."

Love Kylee

We could not be more blessed as parents. I think our favorite part is that she said this is "our story."
