Yes, we will be leaving in 2 hours. But it's just the beginning of a 24 hour journey. Today we go to the airport (2 hours early), then we fly to DC and then tonight at 8pm we board ET Air and head to Africa!
Tomorrow (Sunday) at noon East Coast Time we will be arriving in ET. It will be 8pm their time. We have visas to get and then after packing up we'll head to our hotel (union) and go to sleep. When you wake up on Monday WE WILL HAVE ALREADY MET OUR SON. We will meet him at 1am East Coast Time... 9am ET time.
We'll be heading back at 10pm on Thursday ET time (2pm EST) and be back on Friday at 2pm at Typson McGee airport here in KNOXVILLE :-)
Thank you guys so much for your love and support! I so dig my blog friends and can't believe I am going to get to meet several of you at the blog union this August in CALIFORNIA (I have never been before). (julie... book your ticket). To all of my Knoxville friends, I am BLOWN AWAY by your excitement and love for this little boy. To all of my out of town friends, you guys have been so sweet... the calls, the texts, the e-mails!
We reached our final goal with Life International and we were also given money and have every bit of debt paid for.
