It finally hit me!

Today was the day....the day that it finally hit me. We leave for Ch*na next week. Did you hear that? NEXT WEEK!!! We will board a plane on Wednesday of next week to go across the world to meet our daughter. I am excited, but it's also overwhelming at the same time.

It finally hit me today....I will be halfway across the world while my boys are here. I will miss those boys more than words could ever say. My boys are my life. They mean THE WORLD to me!!! And those two weeks without them will be very difficult. I know they will be well taken care of. I'm not concerned about that. My mom will have them half of the time, and Jeremy's parents will have them the other half. They will also be with friends of ours for a weekend. I can't even begin to tell these people what they mean to me. I appreciate them all for taking care of our boys.

I packed Aubrey's clothes today.....14 outfits. I was thinking about her so much today while getting her clothes together. I feel like she is a part of me. This girl has such a special place in my heart. I feel like I know her so well, yet I don't know her at all. I look at her picture everyday. The boys and I pray for her every night. She has become such a big part of our family. But she doesn't even know it. I can't wait for the day that I get to meet this little girl! Please pray for her heart. We will be taking her away from the only thing she has ever known. This is what has been on my mind today. I know we are doing what is best for her. But it will still be difficult.

Now, let me quit crying.

We leave next week. I didn't even tell you when we will be coming home. We will arrive in New Orleans on Friday, March 22. Yep! On her birthday!!! How cool is that?! We will arrive at 10:30 that morning. Anyone is welcome to meet us at the airport that day. The boys are so excited. Not only do they get to make "Welcome Home" signs, but they also get to make "Happy Birthday" signs.

Also, don't forget about our puzzle fundraiser. Look to the right and you will see a donate button. Or just message me on Facebook. Any donation is more than appreciated!

And let me leave you with this little comment made by Bradley the other day. Oh, I love this kid!
