Off to Taiwan

This is my last post until we arrive in Taiwan. We are packed and ready to roll. Yess I said we are packed! and we did it with over 10 hours to spare. John took Coleton to football practice tonight and me,,,, well my peeps took me out for my birthday- which I will have in Taiwan. We arrive in Taipei on Wednesday night around 6oo pm. I will be blogging so stay tuned for our adventures. Thank you to everyone who has listened to me complain for the last 3 years. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the end to an incredibly long journey to our daughter. On Friday when we pick her up we will begin another journey as parents to a baby girl and as a family of 5.

I feel incredibly calm and totally ready to go get our girl.

Yay!! you are packed and don't go into the attic tonight!!! I forgot do you get to take Cathay to HK?? If so you are going to just be in heaven!!

I really am glad that I walked this journey with you. I am not sure I would have made it had it not been for you and Heather. I look forward to the time we all will get to spend together in the fall with our girls!!! It will be like old friends getting together.

I will be crying tears of joy when I get up on Friday morning. I will not be able to wait to see tht first picture!! Don't forget this too shall pass, and everything that seems tough or hard will be okay!!

Paige is a very lucky girl to have such an awesome mama, but you are a very lucky girl to have such a beautiful baby girl who is going to fall in love with her forever family!!

Don't forget to tell Coleton that the doritos taste the same:)

love ya girl and see you on the flip! Blog a lot please:)

Have a safe journey my friend! And, yes you did seem very calm and very ready to go get your girl (last night!) ~ I'm so glad we could all get together before you left! It is YOUR turn and I couldn't be happier! You have supported all of us on our journey and it has been my pleasure to be there for you :)
