It's happening!!

It is all coming together.  Between trying to wrap up with my class, getting the boys situated, and trying to prepare for the trip, I kind of feel like a mad woman.  My parents are here, ready to hang out with the boys. My mom has already washed all of the clothes we have ready for little girl. My substitute is on deck.  My wonderful teaching team has come together to step in to support my students.  My friends have rallied around.  My sister has gone shopping.  Angela is making flower studded headbands.  Whew!!!

We fly out on Monday and will arrive in Kathmandu in the evening on Wednesday.  We have a couple long layovers.  I am nervous about flying.  I really prefer travel in my big van.  But, I am so excited.  The next couple days will be quite busy.  Next Thursday will be the first day we get to meet our daughter.  We will meet with her at the orphanage for 5 days and then if all goes well, adoption day will be Monday the 21st.  I have been emailing with our awesome investigator and I cannot wait to meet him either. 

I can't believe it is here after all this time.  It was so much waiting and now there is so much to do.  My heart is breaking more for her every time I look at the pictures of her in the orphanage.  I just can't wait.  By this time next week we will know her.

I am going to try to be a good blogger.  Internet service and power are a bit sketchy there.  But I really want to try to post pictures as we learn about our daughter and about the amazing culture of Nepal.  So, check in later.
