Packed and Ready to Go...

It is about 2:00 am, all bags are packed, kids are asleep, including Rodney, and I am checking and double checking everything. I feel like I could pass out from exhaustion, but I am so nervously excited, I don't think I could fall asleep. We are packed and ready to go.

We spent the whole morning finishing up all the business we needed to attend before leaving for 2 weeks. The rest of the day was with the boys. We ate a combo of McDonald's and Los Mariachis. We have a burger, fry boy and a chicken fajita nacho boy. Parker, he will eat just about anything, tacos, burgers - today, was McDonald's. For the food? No. For the chance of getting another "Shrek baby". He is obsessed.

Then we were off to see Spiderman 3. Not to impressed with this one. It wasn't as kid-friendly and lots more violence. Didn't care for it. Kids - loved it, of course.

Now, I am just trying to finish up all loose ends that can be tied at this point. Thankfully, we have great friends and a wonderful family. They have all been so supportive and helpful. Willing to do whatever, but most importantly offering prayers while we are gone for us, Anna and the boys.

God is so good to us. We are so undeserving of any of the blessings that He has showered upon us. We have been given a wonderful life, filled with love, happiness, joy, and the laughter of children. And now, we are going to be blessed again.

I am so humbled that God is allowing me to experience the miracle of adoption. Many times, I feel so "unimportant". I am just a stay-at-home mom, nothing special. And yet, God has chosen me for this awesome experience and blessing. We have seen many miracles throughout this process and we are praying for many more to come. We are praying that everything goes smoothly with our travel, that Anna's transition is easy and that bonding begins to occur instantly, that we are protected and stay healthy, that our boys are safe while we are gone, and that we will return home safely and become a family of 6.

I will post again as soon as we get settled in our hotel. Love you guys!

Trying to believe this is finally happening and sending love to my Anna.
