Continuing the Journey

Yes, Folks...










...panic is setting in today!!

Meggie has continued to comment on how calm I've been lately...well, that ends NOW!! I think I was calm because I had other things upon which to focus. (Wow, that was VERY grammatically correct of me. Juliette would be so proud!) But now those things are handled and all that's left is packing, cleaning the house, and boarding that plane on Wednesday morning. AAACCCCKKKKK!!!!

Last Thursday we had our travel conference call with Josh, the owner of our adoption agency, and the six other families in our Travel Group. While most of the info wasn't new to us (having been there, done that), we were quite sad to hear that China is not allowing visits to the orphanages due to the swine flu scare. To me, going back to where Molly has lived most of her life provides very necessary closure and I find it very upsetting that we are going to be denied that closure on this trip. I need to wrap my brain around this disappointment before we get there or it will truly ruin my whole trip.

So, off I go. The kids are still sleeping (the bums!) and Daddy's at work, so I need to make the most of the quiet and get some things handled. It'll be a whirlwind couple of days until we leave for the airport at 5AM on Wednesday. Wish us well, keep us in your prayers...and check back in for updates.

Hi all! It's Meggie. I've noticed that the top pictures and words have an odd space thing going on. I'm going to try an fix it, I promise! If you don't see anything wrong with it, please let me know! I don't know if it is this computer that makes it look different, or if it is messed up.
