19 days after our letter of intent and…

2.8.10

Letter of Acceptance!
Our agency is overnight mailing it to us today. We’ll sign it and overnight mail it back to them. Then, we just wait for our travel approval! About 3 weeks after that, we’re headed to China!

I can’t believe it! We’re coming, Lydia!

We’ll post pictures of our baby later tonight to formally introduce her to all of you!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
