8 DAYS UNTIL WE LEAVE!!
We were talking last night and can not believe the time is here!! We are trying to finalize our packing list and I believe I have purchased all needed items. Yippeee!!! However, I am sure I will think of a couple more things between now and next Tuesday!!
We were a little stressed two days ago but we have a plan!!! We still do not have Riley's furniture! The January 18th delivery date that has changed 5 times is now set for APRIL 5th!! This is the 6th date changed!! We are staying patient...Kind of!!! Ok, not really!! All we know is that when it does arrive-- they will be delivering and setting it up for FREE!! We know it is completely out of our control!! We put our minds together and we knew we had to come up with another crib!! Thanks to our good friends, Jason and Rochelle..... we will be using their crib until ours finally arrives!! Ordering nursery furniture 3 1/2- 4 months ahead of time seemed like we were planning for our little one to arrive in March but I see that we needed to order it a lot sooner!! Oh well... She will have a fabulous crib to come home in and we will switch it out later!!
We have truly been blessed with the donations that are funneling in! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! We are on our way to our goal!! We can't thank you enough!! This time next week we will be trying to make sure all bags are ready to go and praying we have not forgotten anything important!!
We are having a lot of emotions-- We are so excited and happy to call Riley our own!! We can't wait until our family grows to 6!!! Rheagan can't wait to have another girl in the family!! We are nervous and scared about the unknown...who wouldn't be!! We have butterflies about the trip and staying in another country for 18 days!! We are sad that we have to leave our 2 active boys here at home but I know we will be complete again as soon as we land and walk through the gate at the airport!!
Traveling to China to pick up our daughter will be an experience of a lifetime!! We will capture it all with pictures, videos and blogs!! We hope to blog daily and include lots of pictures!! We hope to can come along and follow us through this incredibly journey!! Keep praying for us and keep checking the blog!!
Right now, Here is Kansas City....We are getting ready for the 2nd winter storm of 12 + inches in 5 days-- They are calling this storm-- Toto's Revenge!! My guess is no school Tuesday, maybe even Wednesday!! We have 2 birthday parties this weekend!! We are celebrating Rheagan (9) and Ryan (6)!! Family birthday on Friday and friend party of Saturday!! Sunday and Monday will be busy packing and TUESDAY WE LEAVE!!! The Countdown is truly counting DOWN!!
