Leaving today.....

Tim and I won't be at church tonight since we will be leaving this afternoon to go to a hotel near the airport. We would appreciate it if you all would pray for us tonight while you're gathered together. We begin our journey in the sky Thursday morning and expect the travel time to be anywhere from 13 to 15 hours.

Pray for our safety, our health and Zoe to bond with us the way God sees best. We will be getting her on December 17th (that will be Monday for us in China but it will be Sunday for all of you).

Make sure you follow along daily during the 2 weeks we're gone. There will be many pictures and tons of information (you know how wordy I can be). I do, however, understand that pictures are much more important to everyone following along than a bunch of words. I've been following other family websites for the past 3 years and I know what it's like.

Please leave your comments while we're there because this will be our only communication to home and family. I have learned from other families who have adopted from China before, that comments on your website are something you need in order to stay connected and it's very encouraging. I personally am someone who gets homesick very quickly. I know I'll be having the time of my life while I'm there, but I really just want to be home. Afterall, "there's no place like home for the holidays". (Ok. That was me being dorky)
