Double Good News!!!

Okay, here's the latest: We have two wonderfull things to look forward to. First, we're off to China! So much has gotten done today!!! We got the news about our travel approval from China last Friday night. So today we've booked our flights, gotten travel insurance, made appt with immigration office! We're leaving a couple of days before our group, on Wed. Aug. 29 at 8 am. We'll spend a couple of days in Shanghai. We hook up with the group on Saturday, Sept. 1, and head to Nanchang where we will meet our daughter. I guess the Sunday, Sept. 2 or Mon. the 3rd!!! WOW the closest we've ever been to pinpointing a "Gotcha Day". The last week we'll be in Beijing and we'll return home with baby in arms Friday, Sept. 14 9:15 pm. Unbelieveable. I booked the flights and called Eric at work and just said "You're going to CHINA--you have a flight to CHINA, you're really going to China" --like it was the first time it dawned on me. It has been a weepy day...so many emotions...the thought of touching her little hands, this little stranger that we have fallen in love with. Ok'nugh mushy stuff!!! The second piece of good news: we're going to the wedding!!! Well, I hope it's not too late to squeeze us into a table Jimmy!
