TRAVEL MEETNG, VISA APPLICATION, BABY SHOWER OH MY!!

Wow, what a busy two in a half weeks!!! I have finally gotten some much needed sleep. I still am not eating very well, but I am finally walking on the ground and thinking straight(er)!!! Just so you will know, and I hope it doesn't surprise you too much, we DID accept our refferal! You didn't think we would do otherwise did you??
Your next question, when do we go get her. We probably won't leave until November 1. We are officially waiting for travel approval, which should come in in about 3 or 4 more weeks. There are two major festivals and a major trade show in China in October that makes travel in Oct. impossible, and we will most likely miss the September window by a few days. I am a little disappointed that we won't be in China in Sept. and that we will have to wait another 4-6 weeks longer than expected, but I know it is God's perfect timing and not mine.
Your next question... the wacky title. You know, Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh my!! We have been busy with travel meetings, applying for our Visa to China, and baby shower is this Sat. Donnie really got into the registry thing.
Our thoughts on the whole thing? We are still pretty excited!! The first couple of days, I forgot to eat, almost making myself sick!! Donnie's and my personalities have been real apparent. I have been so excited I can't seem to do anything, and Donnie is so excited he can't stop doing things!!!
I know this whole post probably doesn't make any sense at all!! Yes, I agree, my thoughts are still all over the place!!! Maybe my next post will be sooner and more intelligent!!!! Goodnite

You can see our beautiful daughter by clicking on the link on the top right. I am in awe at how beautiful she is!! God is so good. I sang Amazing Grace all the way home to get her picture and info. Gods grace is truly amazing. I am just at a loss for words to express how I feel. It has been a long day, and I really need to scrape myself off of the celing and go to bed. I have been late for work everyday this week, I really need to be on time tomorrow. I have just slept like a baby all week. Enjoy her picture. I have a few more, but it is just too late.
Donnie and I wish to thank everyone for their love and support. Continue to pray for us, the next couple of months will be a whirlwind!!

IT'S OFFICIAL IT'S A GIRL

Yes, we received our referral today!!! She is beautiful!! And she is a BABY!! She is only 7 1/2 months old. Donnie has not seen her picture yet, so you can't see her till he does. Here is her info: Birthdate: December 17, 2006. Birth Province: Hunan. She has been in the orphanage and not foster care. Here name is Yin Le Ci (pronounced Yin Lee See). She is quite the cutie.
We will probably travel mid September - late October. We will know more travel info in about 4 weeks. I am walking on air!!!! I was going to finish what I was doing at work before I came home to take the call, but I forgot how to do my job!!!!! Oh well, they understood. Check back later for pictures. They will be posted in the new website that I created. A link to that website is to the right.
Thanks for following,
Mommy
