I keep telling everyone that God has blessed me so much throughout the years. Meeting the wife was such a chance affair, that it's likely it would never have happened without Him.

I can say that also, 100%. For my wife and I to have had such vastly different backgrounds in our lives, raised 4000 miles apart, different races, denominations, life experiences, everything each of us had been through and struggled with, but to end up with SUCH a crazy similar outlook and mentality in almost every area, THEN to have been placed in a position to meet and fall in love - there is no other real explanation that fits, to me. God's hand put us together, without a doubt, in my mind.
Mrs. GED and I were kinda like you, but not to the vast extremes. But like Donny & Marie, she was a little bit country and I was a little bit rock and roll. But...opposites attract.
It is a very strange and emotional thing to watch an infant detox. That, combined with changing hotels five times, rental cars three times, every meal being 'out', the will they sign the papers, etc. It all added up. And after we thought we had it, it turned out the dad who signed the papers wasn't the dad. After three weeks, we ended up coming back to MS without him. It took another month of wondering before we finally knew he was ours.
I flew to boston on Sept 21, 2015 and brought him home two days later (on our 9th wedding anniversary, as it happened).
So far he is healthy and happy (and ornery as all hell at times)
Ornery is GOOD!
Congratulations, Evan. You're a lucky man.
On a side note: when I came back to OSA, I was delighted to see you were one of the people who were still around.

Here's a belated Happy Anniversary to you! (Sorry, I'm always late to the party).
