Flights... check! Visas.... check!

God is so amazing! His blessings never end!! Needless to say, we were shocked to only have to buy 1 roundtrip ticket to China. We've been collecting miles with American Airlines and miracuously AA started a new flight this summer from Chicago to Beijing. So, there were award travel seats available. I'm just glad to have those booked.

As for Visas, they arrived today. So all we have left to do now is  WAIT! That's all I feel like we've been doing, but this time the wait is different. Now I think about notifying the utility and phone company incase the bills come while we're gone. Telling the credit card company we are going overseas... you know, the small details that could have a huge impact when we get home.  I'm finding myself shopping more. We have even gotten the dolls and kitchen set out of the attic and cleaned up for Ruth Min. Chloe has played more in the last week with these dolls then she has in the last 8 years. Strange how our interests change.

I just wish I knew more details about Ruth Min. We're packing with assumptions of her clothing size, guessing she's in diapers, and trying to decide about formula? We will know soon enough... just in China!

We got TA!!!

The day is here..... the excitement is rising in our home.
We have requested a CA date of 9/7/10. This would mean we will travel end of August to get Ruth Min.
