The wait is over! Tomorrow is travel day. We will head out from Lake Charles at 5:30 am and arrive in Beijing around 2:30 p.m. their time after 19 hours of total travel time.
We have had a busy week before getting to this moment. Lizzy and Christopher have been at Camp Champions for 3+ weeks and we traveled to Marble Falls, Tx to get them and bring them home. Monday and Tuesday, Christopher and I drove to Springhill College in Mobile, Alabama for Orientation and Registration for Classes. Back today to wrap up loose ends at work. whew... I hope I have everything ready.
Unfortunately, Christopher will not be traveling with us to China. I will definitely miss not having him with me but he has chosen to stay home and focus on practicing basketball and getting ready for college. However, we do have a full crew traveling with us - a full gaggle of girls. Lizzy, Maddie and Lilly (Lizzy's friend) will travel with us. Mia will join this gaggle during the trip. Keith is truly outnumbered!
Sunday, July 1st is GOTCHA DAY. This is the day where we will see Mia's beautiful face, be able to hold her for the first time and kiss those chubby cheeks- I can't wait!!!! Please pray for her as she prepares to makes this transition to her forever family. Please pray that she is healthy and well and that she will have no issues with attachment to her new family. Also say a prayer for our safe travel.
Please follow along with us in China. I will be posting updates and pictures of our sweet girl.
Excited to be following along on your journey! Prayers for safe travel and Mia's attachment being said. Can't wait to meet her!!
