Hi friends and family!
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving time with your family and friends! Every year we go to Sunriver, Oregon with Jeff's side of the family. We have lots of great memories of playing games, Christmas movies, plenty of food, staying up late and hot tub time!
This year was the MOST special of all...
When we woke up on Thanksgiving morning, there was an email from our agency letting us know that we got a court date for December 14th! That is the day before the court closes for a month. We are so excited that we got in and are able to hold our little boy in less than 3 weeks!
It has been amazing to see God go before us in every way possible!
Needless to say, we are in fast forward mode. We secured our flights yesterday for our whole family (which is a miracle)! Thanks for air miles, we were able to get a majority of our plane tickets covered! What a great relief!
Now, it's time to pack and the count down is on...we leave in 14 days!
It is definitely overwhelming trying to pack for a family of 6. We also need to bring enough other supplies to live there for a month and donations to leave for Drew's babies home and another great non-adopting orphanage that we will spending a lot of time with!
Thanks for joining us on this adventure!
2 weeks from today we will be flying somewhere over the Atlantic!
Thank you for your prayers and support!
