PLANE TICKETS!

I think I am finally getting excited about our trip! We bought plane tickets today to China! We will both leave on June 12 for Beijing. We will do our own thing until we head to Anna's province, Jiangxi. On Monday the 16th, we will get our Anna.

The crazy part happens near the end of our trip. We will go to Guangzhou for the last week. She will have a medical exam and we will do paperwork. On the 22nd, Chris will leave to come back to Houston. He and Daniel will fly up to Chicago on the 23rd. Daniel's surgery is on the 24th. Pray they get to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. They won't know until the day they leave but that would be really nice for them to be able to stay there. Anna and I will leave China on the 25th (we have to hang around to make sure her visa is good to go.) We will go straight to Chicago from Beijing (direct flight- hallelujah!). Prayerfully, it will all go smoothly since I will be flying solo. I will hang out in Chicago for a few days and then come back to Houston with Anna by plane.

Whew. I'm tired just typing all that. After that, all we have to do is move 3 weeks later!

God's timing cracks us up sometimes. I'm so thankful that we will have Anna in our arms and can start loving on her before the crazy August invades our lives.

2 more weeks and then we'll be on our way!!
