14 days - 2 weeks - 336 more hours!!

Not much is going on! Pretty calm actually. We just finalized our airline tickets today- leaving the 10th of November and scheduled to come home the 17th of December but that can easily change, depending on our progress while there. It is so strange to know that in about 2 weeks we will be meeting our daughter! It is so surreal to think about. I am not too nervous yet but I still have a ton of things to do, so we'll see how I am doing next week :O)

Just 19 more days until we leave!!

The emotions

Today was different!
I am so happy that this is finally happening, but today I was tired....and scared. I did not get any sleep, my mind ran a million miles a minute. I was also wide awake at 5am - which for me, is not common. Getting up anytime before 8am is normally torture to me. (guess I better get use to it) but my mind hasn't stopped all day.

I am very organized and I already have my "lists of things to do". I made it months ago hoping it would come in handy during my days of crisis, but I have no clue where to start!! This weekend is the prep rally!!! I will sit down, lay everything out, and break out the highlighter....away we'll go! At least I hope!!??

Don't give up on those prayers just yet! Believe me, I still em'.

The aftermath...

Things have finally settled for the day! The excitement and overpowering emotion has somewhat subsided....and now the fear and reality sets in!! Oh my God...we are going to be parents in 1 month. You think we would be prepared after waiting 2 years - but this, truefully, is probably one of the scariest days of my life!

We have called most of the family and friends, I am working on a letter to send out so that we don't miss anyone and to give everyone the blog address. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive. Your comments and well wishes were greatly appreciated.

Our daughter is finally coming home!

As I promised!!!!!!!

We are back in the game :O) WOOWHOOO! We finally have an appointment. Jason was very brave and called the Adoption Center (SDA) today and they were kind enough to tell us our date over the phone. We are scheduled for November 13th....that is only 25 days away!! I am so excited, yet so overwhelmed. I don't have a lot of time to fill you in now but I will be to post again soon. Thanks for all prayers...look like He finally heard us.
