Leaving on a jet plane.......

We are leaving for China July 9th and will return on the 24th. We will meet our sweet Sarah on either the 11th or 12th. I am full of emotions right now. I am excited, but anxiety and fear is creeping in. I am anxious about traveling and being in other country where I don't know the language/food/culture. I am concerned about the transition for Sarah. While we have been dreaming of meeting her, she has been living her life. Meeting us is going to be so scary and confusing for her. I pray that we will be comforting for her and be the parents she needs. Pray for our anxiety (or should I say MY anxiety-you know Todd isn't worried about a thing) and pray for Sarah as her life is turned upside down!!

Sarah's Room.....
We finally finished  Sarah's room! We hope she likes and feels comfortable in it. I love animals, especially giraffes, I hope she does too. We also heard from our agency that we will be getting Travel Approval some time next week!! I hope that we can get a consulate appointment as soon as possible!! We are so ready to meet Sarah!!

Hopefully today is a better day........
I thought that we would receive our travel approval on last Thursday. Our agency did say that we may not get the approval until the begining of this week, but I had my heart set on getting it on Thursday. I was so sad and disappointed. I just want to be able to make our final plans to finally meet Sarah!! I am not feeling well today either, my throat is burning and my nose is running. Ugh! Summer colds stink!! I am hoping that I begin to feel better today!! Pray for us to get travel approval today and I feel better.
