Well, we did it!! 6 planes, 1 typhoon, and 1 train later we are finally home sweet home with our little sweet bundle and our family is complete. We are happier than we've ever been. In New Jersey, just when we were in line to board, our plane got delayed from leaving at 6 to leaving at 8. I cried! Then it changed to 8:30, then 9. I was having a heart attack thinking it was about to cancel, when they finally found a pilot and we began to board - praise GOD!!!! I was so upset because my wonderful family had planned a welcome home party at our house and I just knew it was ruined because it would be so late!! My sweet Mom just comforted me and said not to worry, that we would just figure things out and I just needed to get on that plane and get home safely, so that's what I tried to do!! Sara slept during that whole flight, so I was able to catch a little sleep too. When I woke up, I looked out that plane window and I knew that the lights I could see below were the lights of Nashville, TN. I just asked John to please hand me the tissues. Tears just streamed down my cheeks. I couldn't believe that we were FINALLY going to be home! He just smiled at me because he knows that I cry at everything, but when the wheels touched down, we were BOTH crying!! The word "thankful" can't even describe how we feel for all that has happened. We are just overwhelmed with emotions! When we got off the plane we had to quickly change Sara's clothes, then we walked down the path until we got to where our WONDERFUL friends and family were waiting at 10:30 p.m.!! I just cried and cried as I hugged everyone and they just loved on that sweet baby. After we visited for a while, most of us went back to our house and even though it was 1 in the morning, we still had our party!! It was great! They had the cutest cake for us, balloons, and signs!! It was so very, very sweet! I have the BEST family in the whole entire world!! They all worked together to give us the best welcome home party ever! I cannot thank them enough!! :) Thanks to ALL of you for all of your thoughts and prayers during this entire journey. I know that many of you have followed us through it all and we really appreciate it! I can't wait for you all to meet little miss Sara because she is so precious! :)
