The day is finally here. Miss Olivia met her forever family today!!!!!They arrived to SFCV at 10:30am and weren't able to see her until 2:30pm because she was napping. I could tell they were nervous and dying to hold their little girl in their arms.
As I was walking back from teaching my crazy preschoolers, I glanced at the gazebo to see Olivia with her forever family. They were holding her so close which just melted my heart.. I was SOOOOO happy for her that I just wanted to keep watching them the whole time. I even tried to take a picture of it from far away. Is that too creepy? :)
Ever since then, i have been in SUCH a good mood. I mean I am just so happy for Olivia that she has a forever family. I'm so happy for the family that they have a little girl now. Today when they were holding her, I saw them talking to some people, introducing her as their daughter. Can you say awwwwwwwwwwwwwww? :)
It's funny though because that's all I have been able to think about...like seriously all I can think about. When I was with the other interns, I kept talking about it and they were like "You are still talking about this?" haha I guess I'm just weird like that.
Well this blog feels like it is just a ramble but needless to say, I want to do this. I want to help orphans find families for the rest of my life. But is that what G wants? Stay tuned :)

A very high calling...but I think you'd be great at it, Mel! Believe me, I'm staying tuned...and praying!(Oh and I'm so so so happy for Olivia and her wonderful forever family and, no, I don't think you're creepy! I think you are a person who deeply cares about others and the quality of their lives.)
