In no less than twelve hours I will be on a plane headed for Ethiopia. We got our embassy appointment scheduled for October 11, 2011---Our "Gotcha Day." This also happens to be my oldest daughters thirteenth birthday. I'm sad I can't be there to give my new teenager a kiss on her special day but she will be in my thoughts and we will celebrate when I get back.
My nervousness is starting to appear as tomorrow approaches. Not only am I not fond of flying but sitting on a plane for thirteen hours there and seventeen and a half hours on the way back does not thrill me. Not to mention the "adventure" the trip home will be with a fifteen month old. I also worry if this child of mine will even "like" me. When we were there for court he seemed very fond of me by the second day; but it is now five months later and he is a different child. I so hope he takes to me again.
I will try to post on this blog daily while we are there as long as the internet is working. That is always an iffy thing in a third world country. Please pray for safe travels and that all goes well with Nathan. We will see you all when we return.
It's been a LONG while
