It’s February 20, 2007. Do you remember what you were doing this day last year? I do.

One year ago today, I went into work as normal. Amy also went in, but she came home and waited for me. I came in from work that night, and she was in pain.

It was after 11:00 p.m., and she looked at me and said, “It’s time to go.” I gently got her off the couch, grabbed her bags and put them in the car. We drove to East Alabama Medical Center, and I knew February 21, 2006, was coming. I also knew one of the greatest days of our lives was about to unfold.

Amy was in labor, and our little princess was on the move. We didn’t know how long it would be until we finally met her, but the events were in motion. We were in the exam room when the clock struck midnight, but that was only the beginning.

The rest comes tomorrow when we celebrate Alyssa’s first birthday.
