Happy Birthday Morgan!

Two years ago today a miracle came into the world, but I didn't know it until 2 days later.  Two years ago today I was just living life as the mother of two little girls and the wife of Kim.  Professionally, I was burned out and facing the failure of my business.  I was working at Starwood Hotels in the call center to make a few dollars and give my life some purpose.  Two years ago today, I had no idea the biggest surprise of my life was on her way to my front door.

Morgan was born on a Friday and it was Sunday afternoon when the call came to announce her arrival.  I was working at the call center when I received the message to call home immediately - emergency - everyone is ok.  I hurried to the break room to call Kim who told me CPS woke her from a nap to ask if we were interested in bringing home a sister for Madison and McKenzie.  I was in complete shock.  I had no words.  Kim didn't either.  For me, the shock lasted all of 20 seconds and then the excitement set in.   

Of course we would bring home a sister for the girls!  I raced home to make the call with Kim, telling CPS to bring her home.  We brought Maddie and McKenzie into our bedroom and shared the news.  They were so excited!  Our family changed forever a few minutes later and I thank God every single day we said yes to Morgan.  She opened the door of my heart even wider than I thought possible and re-ordered every one of my priorities.  Morgan is the greatest surprise I could ever hope to have. 

And today we celebrated her second birthday with special friends.
