Oh. My. Goodness. We leave for China in four more days!!!!!!! That is so wild to think about!! We have been packing and re-packing. I actually leave in 3 days...even WILDER!! I'm going to fly out to San Francisco to meet up with Karl on Wednesday...and then we fly out to China on Thursday. I don't think I'll really believe it's happening until we land in Beijing.
Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers for us and for our darling, darling, DARLING little girl who is waiting for us!! I cannot wait to pour my eyes over her. And to be able to hear her sweet little voice. Ahhhhh...this week is not going to go by quick enough...and yet, before I know it, Karleigh Mei will be in my arms. I can't wait!!!

Jenn,
I have goosebumps just thinking of you boarding that plane!!!!!! We are literally RIGHT behind you & sharing so many of the same feelings. This last "leg" of the journey has held the highest and lowest of emotions. What a roller coaster!!!!

Girl, I KNOW!!! I was thinking about you today and praying that you are peaceful and ready. DUH!!! You're ready! But you know what I mean. What an adventure you are about to go on. I just encourage you to really enjoy the few days of just you and your husband. The days following Gotcha day are amazing but I truly bonded with my husband those first few days alone. I remember trying to "convince" him at the airport how everything was going to be OK!! He just laughed at me on that very early morning at the airport and asked me who I was trying to convince!! I knew everything would be fine but was still anxious about the days ahead of us. Enjoy it!! Take it ALL in. Its going to be like nothing you've experienced before...just amazing!! I will be praying for you and will be anxiously awaiting your first post from CHINA!! Yeah!!!
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to follow your journey while you are in China. . .I hope you will be blogging about it!!
Blessings to you and your family!!
Regina
I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praying for you this week!

Jenn,
I wrote this poem (originally titled Theadora waits) during our long wait for Teddi. Thinking of you today . . .
Karleigh Mei waits . . .
We hold on to hope found in photos,
We long to touch her sweet face.
We eat and sleep and breathe worlds apart,
Yet there is a bond . . . a bond created by God.
She is ours and we are hers,
And in time the wait will be over. . .
We will eat and sleep and breathe together,
We will love and laugh and grow together.
And the bond that held us over the seas,
Will grow daily . . .
When the “wait” is over.
The wait is almost over friend! May the Lord bless you as you go, and may He prepare your sweet girl's heart to meet her mama and baba --soon, very soon!
Love and blessings~
Tina
