...When a plan comes together!

It's almost together anyway.  We are leaving on Friday.  This week.  JUST A FEW MORE DAYS!  The flights are booked, and the accomodations are reserved.  I have one big suitcase on my bed right now working on filling it with my things, one duffel bag in the middle of the dining room floor with about two-thirds of the things Hunter will need, and another suitcase on the bedroom floor with way too much stuff for Shelby (which I will be sorting and repacking over the next 48 hours).  I also have a banana box full of gifts and supplies to go to the home,  haven't figured out where those will fit yet.   I'm filling out medical consent forms on the dining room table for the grandparents should they need them for Hunter.  He is not going with us, and will be staying with both sets of grandparents.  I did not want to subject him to a 19 hour plane ride with various layovers in between (nor did I want to subject myself to that with him along ;)). 

I will try to squeak in a few short blogs, well at least a picture or two while we are there.  They are supposed to have good internet service where we are staying, although there is no guarantee.  For a couple nights, we will stay with a missionary teacher out by the children's home.  She has good internet, so hopefully I'll get one good post out. 

Please keep the prayers going strong.  I feel sure that this is God's will for our family, but that doesn't mean that I won't be one big bundle of emotions.  Pray for Shelby to feel comfortable with us very quickly and that we will be polite, respectful travellers while in our daughter's birth country.  Pray for our health and safety as well as for Hunter's as he stays here with the grandparents.  And don't forget to leave a comment or send and email to let us know your praying, even half a world away!
