Well, this sure is a whirlwind day. Our agency contacted me tonight and told me they have my Consulate Appointment for February 8th. That means I will be leaving on January 29, a week from now. I'll meet Ivy on Monday, February 1, 2010.
It is a good thing I ordered the new money and the Chinese money today. Otherwise, I'd be cutting it close. Believe it or not, I've had Ivy's suitcase packed for a few weeks now, and I've slowly added things to it. Now, I need to get my things together, lesson plans worked out for the boys.
I'll ask for prayers for my safe travels and prayer for my family staying at home. I know Mike will do just fine while I'm gone, although we joked about everyone gaining 10 pounds from fast food and pizza for 2 weeks! I'm sure Ivy Xue will need prayers for her adjustment. I cannot imagine the thoughts running through her head.
Thanks for the great posts and encouragement this past year and through this adoption process. IVY IS COMING HOME!
Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri
