Time is here

It is incredible to think that in 12 short hours, we will be picked up for the airport and head to get our girl. We are busy hustling and bustling packing up, cleaning, winding up things in order to leave. It is incredible to think, 28 months ago we started this process, and our GOTCHA is now only 3 days away.

Humbling is another word that comes to mind as I think about this story that is being written. We started with a major mountain of paperwork and most importantly the financial need. God has exceeded and gone beyond anything that we thought would be possible. Our adoption fees are all covered! Our trip costs, covered! All of the things that fill our gals room, covered! All of the misc items that we needed to bring to China for various things, covered! And my time off from work for a month, covered! All of that in 28 short months, it is humbling to see just how much we are loved, but most importantly just how much she is loved and suppose to be in our family.

Work that is another subject. Many of you know, I have the opportunity to work in a ministry that is connected internationally. I LOVE MY JOB. Some of my best friends have come out of my job. But more over, I work in such a special office, where people are so willing to do life and love us in incredible ways. Part of the lasts this week is beginning a down ward turn out of that place that has been home for almost 6 years. I will be stepping down full time and going to part time through August, and then once August hits, I will be a mom and wife, no other titles. My heart is so full from that place, this part of the transition is tough.

See note below on the quilt. 

But in the end, it is all worth it. Gotcha day is three days away. That is right, 28 long months, and in 3 days she will be ours. This will be the place that we provide updates and the long awaited pictures that people have been asking for. In the mean time I will leave you with pictures of her sweet room, that will be filled with pitter patter before the month is over.

The quilt on the wall was handmade by a very special group of ladies, with fabric from my grandma's house. 

Till next time, from the other side,

Her dresser was a friends when he was a child, and cards on the wall are letters of the alphabet with scripture on each one.
