June 28, 2022 was an amazing day! The day we had been waiting for. The day we thought at times might never come. The day Maisy legally became a Nowlin. It was a sweet day surrounded by family and friends celebrating the culmination of this crazy journey we've been on.
My only regret is that I didn't hire a photographer to take photos at the adoption party so a) I could have relaxed and not worried about getting photos and b) so I would have more photos of all the friends and family that were there to love on us. There are SO many that aren't pictured.
Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for our village. Tis a village that loves us well.
