Crazy Happy Friday

Yesterday was exhausting, crazy, and completely exciting. We indeed got our Consulate Appointment and were able to book our plane tickets. Only instead of leaving next Saturday afternoon, we'll be leaving EARLY Friday  morning. Less than 7 days from confirmed CA until wheels up. We'll be arriving in China mid-afternoon on Saturday, giving us an extra day with our friends in Beijing. From there, we'll go to Zhengzhou on the 20th and meet our sweet girl on March 21st. (So cool...Dayna's Gotcha Day is on May 21st.) We will be arriving back in Omaha at about 10 pm on Wednesday, April 3.

So today will be filled with shopping, shopping and more shopping...getting things like travel size rolls of toilet paper, gifts for officials and staff. Our packing list is 5 pages long (not including clothes.) I'm drinking up some tea and resting up before today really gets going. Somehow I think I'll need some extra help keeping my energy up this next week.
