Its been a while since I have posted anything... been rather busy! We received our travel date on Feb. 27, 2007 while in the office. I am in one day every other week and that is when I get the call... for the referral and now the travel date...crazy how that works! Maybe if I go into the office and buy a lottery ticket I will get notice of winning the lottery... Yeah right!
Anyway we must be in Ho Chi Minh City by March 18th.... we are leaving at 6:05pm on the 15th Thursday. I am so excited!!! Every time I look at him... I could cry! I just want to hold him and never let him go... For those of you who do not know us this is our first child. We have tried so hard to have children for the past 5 1/2 yrs with no sucess... So he is the answer to our prayers... the family we always wanted... the son we have dreamed about...
I find myself also nervous about the flight. I have only flew once for 2 hrs there and back. I loved it ...it was beautiful! The clouds and all. Landing and taking not so fun and I guess thats why I am nervous.
They have given a return date of April 3rd but could be as early as March 31st if eveything goes well. Keeps your fingers crossed and pray that god will bring us home early. So I have been packing, doing paper work, learning to use camcorder, etc... And working on top of all that has been real fun. Hard to concentrate!
Well I better go have to run to store so when we come back we will not have to...
I will try to keep this updated as best I can... depends on their internet and the person who is working it.. ME!!!

Hi Ann-
I love your blog!
I can't wait to see you guys in Vietnam! Maybe we can head out to the internet cafe's and let our husbands watch the boys!
See you at the orphanage!

Hope your flight went well and I hope you are holding your little Jacob in your arms right now! What an incredible adventure! I'm sure he is everything you dreamed of and more. When you get back, I will have to come over with Celeste and Bianca so they can see him. He's turned into almost a little magical being in their eyes - kind of like "The Chosen One". But thank you, too, for presenting me with the opportunity to teach them about adoption and what an amazing thing it is!
