Today was crazy. Frustrating. Stressful. Busy. BUT, it will be worth it. Soon Ramya will be in my arms and THAT is what matters!
Today I spent probably over 3 hours on the phone with airlines (made travel plans that had to be changed), went to the travel doctor to get a typhoid shot, homeschooled, prepped 3 extra dinners to freeze, worked on packing, played with the kids, went shopping at walmart for necessities for the trip, got sandals from Old Navy for the trip, arranged care for the kids while I'm gone (THANK YOU Micah and Amy!!!), talked to our adoption lady at WACAP probably 4-5 times, printed more paperwork, made more copies, wrote down a daily schedule for David, and I can't even remember the rest.
Taking a deep breath now.
Travel is set for Tuesday, February 5th at 11:20 am. We will spend Thursday and Friday all day at the orphanage. We will leave Friday night for Delhi, see the doctor in Delhi on Saturday, see the doctor in Delhi again on Monday, go to the Embassy Monday, go back on Tuesday for her passport/visa, and leave for home on the 13th. That is IF we can get it all timed out perfectly. There is a chance all return flights will have to be changed (again) to bring us home Thursday. Please join us in praying for smooth sailing with booking appointments and that we will get to leave Wednesday and not change flights again.
I can't even begin to explain how I am feeling. I am very excited, VERY stressed, anxious, overwhellmed, worried, busy, exhausted, and I could go on and on.
BUT God is good. My baby is coming home. It will all be ok. It will all work out just like it is supposed to. It always does!
I hope it all goes smoothly! I'm praying for you and your family. :)
