We're all set

Finally, she can "calm down."
We got our final approval today and are all set to leave on Thursday, Sept. 10. It's been a long week since we were first told we MIGHT leave on Sept. 10 and getting the final appointments and confirmation. Today has been a whirlwind of activity, making travel arrangements and final preparations. The stress has been tremendous and, believe it or not, Missy has been the one telling me to "calm down." After 29 months of telling her to be patient and relax, I'm the one that needed to be talked off the cliff today. Reality has finally set in and we are both excited, anxious and more than a little stressed out. (For those of you playing tennis with me in the morning, BEWARE! You've been warned.) Next Thursday can't get here fast enough. I think once we are on the plane and on our way, maybe we can both "calm down" and finally relax. More to come later.

  1. We are so excited for you. Thank you for keeping us updated on the adoption of Emma Lee. We can't wait to meet her, but we will give her time to adjust to her new family and her new country. Just send lots of pictures in the meantime.
    Our prayers are with you as you prepare for your trip to China.
    Ken and Jeanette
