Congratulations! She's such a cutie! I'm still praying for you and Riley, but this is God's will, that thanks to Riley now 2 babies have a home.

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH!!! She is MY DAD's Girl!! He is so overjoyed. YOu have no idea. He has been quietly putting money in her account since Christmas and asks me all the time. I advocated for her a few weeks ago. Thank you. I am so glad you are going to get her. You just made our day! Seriously. She didn't even have a picture for most of the Angel Tree time and is just so pitiful and needy. We have been so worried that she would end up another sad statistic. I know you are still grieving but there is a bunch of rejoicing going on over here for our sweet Zara.

OKAY - NOW I HAVE TO ADD.... I just realized you are in Blacksburg VA and so you are VT FANS (yuck for me - go UVA) but MY DAD LOVES VT. He graduated from there. That means even more reason for him to be happy. You are VT fans and you live close enough that he will get to meet the sweet girl who captured his heart December 25. He has been praying for her EVERY SINGLE DAY since then.
