Two weeks from today...

And yes... I am pretty much wigging out.

I don't travel well.

We'll leave it at that.

;)

So this is how my Saturday has gone...

New Camera, Thirsty yawning, the mattress is still there...

I washed Caroline's sheets, made Marc switch out the sconces in Caroline's room with the ones in our room, 

I helped Marc put up the chandelier,  

painted a new Cherry Blossom branch (which Marc said looked like a white lightening bolt... yeah, well I saw it too.) 

Gizamee slept, I painted the sconce that was in our room that was to be put in Caroline's room so it would match the chandelier,

and then

I did a little fun craft project.

The flowers go in Caroline's room...

but to see it you have to go to our travel blog. 

(Blogger is blocked in China so I had to use something else.)

Come see!

Update...

We have confirmation that we will be leaving Sept. 4th and coming home Sept. 18th. 

 Oh, is that why I feel sick, or is it from the four shots I had to get yesterday?  Urgh.   :)

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.....

Oh!                                Oh!

Oh my goodness!                Is this for real?

It's looking as though we      leave on September 4th!

We arrive in Beijing on September 5th! Tour Beijing on the 6th.

We fly to Guangzhou on the 7th, and get Caroline that afternoon!

Paperwork, touring, bonding, eating, crying (I'm sure,)

getting homesick, but having thetimeofourlives,

and taking WAY too many pictures,

and then fly home on September 18th.

All preliminary of course.  ;)

~WOW!~

I just know it!

I'm going to know something today....

I can just feel it!!!

(Even though it's Friday 13th.) heh!

Come on email!!!

I'm so excited!

This feels like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff...

waiting for someone to tell me

 when to

JUMP!

BIG BUTTERFLIES in my stomach!

Hurry up and Wait!

As soon as I get an official travel date

I can't wait to post it....

Right... 

here!

I've been oscillating between tears of joy and the look of a deer in headlights...

all the while constantly checking my email for confirmation. 

Good times.

At least my eye isn't twitching.

Oh, wait.

;)

He leadeth me...

Travel Approval takes on average three weeks.

It could be two; It could be four...

weeks.

After Travel Approval, you leave in about three weeks.

However, travel in October is not possible.

~AND~

This year the Asian Games are in Guangzhou during November,

making travel... highly unlikely.

So if it wasn't in September.... it was to be December.

We needed a miracle.

I needed a miracle.

I prayed...

many lovely people prayed...

Our wait for TA started last Thursday.

But Today... 

four days later...

~We Received our Travel Approval.~

My heart is beating so quickly...

my eyes are filled with tears...

I feel touched by God.

And I am so blessed.
