Well folks, as has been the way of our adoption process, things have changed yet again. We had our travel meeting with our agency yesterday. They wanted us to leave 3 days earlier than before. So, we started working on our visa applications and while we were doing so she called the travel agent. Not a single seat was available! And, when there finally was one (2 days before Christmas) she couldn't get us back into the states until close to February! Aaaacccckkk. So, after some searching, our agency says, "guess what, you're leaving on Sunday." WHAT! Are you kidding me! WOW!!!!! Needless to say, we have been in overdrive mode and a somewhat panic mode as well.
On the one side, this is so very exciting for us. We will receive Katelin the day after her 6 month birthday! Lil is very excited as well and would buy all the "I'm the Big Sister" items out there if we let her. If someone will let her talk to them it's about fashion and her sister.
On the other side, how in the world do you put 2 weeks of things to do (like the normal stuff of laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, then there's the packing (and that's huge), then there is taking boxes to the storage, bringing the dresser back from the storage, taking the desk, computer and filing cabinet downstairs, cleaning the nursery, and the list goes on and on) into basically 3 days. Yes there was today BUT, we had a trip to take today to Washington, D.C. to get our visa's. And, with traffic the way it is on the beltway and the traffic coming on with accidents, etc. and so forth, it was an entire day gone.
So, as you can see, the stress is weighing a bit on all of us. HOWEVER, the gift (prize?) at the end of the craziness is our beautiful little Christmas angel, Katelin!
So, as long as no other complications arise, we will be on a plane for Vietnam on Sunday morning. We will keep you posted on this blog while we're on our trip and will also post some pictures. Please note that there will be some things that will not be shared due to rules and regulations of our agency but we promise you there will be plenty to keep you wanting more!
Take care all and we'll be talking to you again soon!
