It's All Coming Together...

We are finally to the point where everything has come together and I feel at peace. Don't get me wrong, I am still anxious and slightly freaked out. But the big pieces have fallen into place. This is going to happen. I will be leaving next Sunday to meet my daughter.

We have our visa's
We have our final travel itenerary
Everything has been arranged for us in Beijing and Guangzhou
We have our shots
We have the dog kennel notified that Cooper is coming
We have a ride to and from the airport
We have someone to check on the cat
Everything is set with our jobs

Still to do:

Find someone to water my flowers
Get a prescription for Tim and I for a Z-Pack
Get a prescription from our pediatrician for a children's antibiotic
Pack...I'm not a person for packing weeks in advance

Musings from Kim K. said...

I'm thrilled that this time has finally come. I can't wait to follow your journey. We'll be on vacation during the last half of your trip and will be without internet access at the lake cottage. I'm going to go through some serious withdrawal. Be sure to post your airport information. I'd love to be there to take pictures for your return flight back to GR.

Hugs!!

I've got a couple of things to bring you tomorrow at church (must.get.them.together.now!) and wish I'd thought to offer to chauffeur you to and from the airport. As it is, I'd love to be there when you get home - will you share your info with us?

Can't believe you leave a week from tomorrow - how wonderful!!

Kim, Kim, KIm, this is just the beginning of a wonderous phase of your life. The waiting is almost over. Soon you can rejoice and relax. Sophia is a very lucky little girl and I know your love will know no bounds. Congratulations and best wishes.....
I hope your transition is as easy as Mya and Sara's was/ has been. It is as if she born into our family. Much love to envelope you all......

How exciting!

Hope to get to meet you when I'm there. Pretty busy itinerary, so I'm not sure where I'll be, when.

You will be standing in China before you know it! And it will be just like dream in front of your very eyes :).

Doug and Terrye said...

I remember being in your position, and I wondered if it could really "come true." Then the surreal moment that she was placed in my arms put to rest all of those fears :)
