Easter a Special Time

I (Blair) wanted to wish you all a blessed Easter!!

It struck me the other night, as I was driving home from band practice, that Easter has been a special time for Tami and me.

Of course, Easter spells great spiritual blessings for all of us with the risen Christ/Messiah (not the least of these is the gap He bridged between the Father and all mankind), but more personally, the following events have occurred on recent Easter weekends (and I am just now figuring this out!)......

Easter 2003 I proposed to Tami at her parents house in Snohomish (complete with Walt, my father-in-law, running downstairs to get his gun). :)

Easter 2005 Tami and I first bring up the subject of international adoption with our families (first in late March with my family at my 40th birthday, then with Tami's folks at the annual Easter dinner). We officially started the adoption process that same week.

Easter 2007 We receive word that we will be adopting a precious Chinese daughter in less than a week.

Kinda cool, huh?
