Possible Travel Dates!

Hi, all!

We are completely crazy around here, but all is well. I wanted to briefly update everyone on our travel dates to get Maia! We're waiting for word from our agency about the US Consulate appointment and the Civil Affairs appointment, both of which are smack dab in the middle of the Autumn Festival in China and the National Festival. Um, they have a LOT of festivals! It's looking like Gotcha day is likely the 27th of September if we can secure an appointment with the Civil Affairs office. So, that's actually one week later than we were planning on, but we think that would work out just fine. My brain might just NOT explode. :)

Going to Kohl's to take advantage of their luggage sale today! Also on the agenda for today is a coming home outfit, plastic accordian folders for all of our paperwork, and possibly gifts for all of the officials and caregivers in China we'll meet. Oh, and our Visa paperwork is being mailed today! Yipee!

Prayer is key right now, and I have been so blessed by so many folks lifting us up and covering us in prayer. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! The Lord goes before me and is my rear guard. Pretty awesome! More pics soon!
