One Wild Ride

I can't even begin to tell you what a roller coaster ride I have been on these past couple of weeks! I have never been this stressed out...EVER!! My jeans are so big on me because I drop weight when I'm stressed. (Not that I'm complaining about that...lol...) We finally got the word at 9:45 last night that the consulate was FINALLY able to see our 797C. It has been there since the 14th, but I guess they just wouldn't look hard enough. It's been EXTREMELY frustrating and maddening. Thank you all for your kind words and support throughout this whole fiasco. I have been well aware that God has been in control, and we have had many divine interventions throughout this whole process. We can't wait to see what he has in store for us next! It's gotta be good seeing how hard I've had to fight for it!!

So in honor of my house being a disaster and me running around getting everything together, I thought I'd list 10 ways you know you're going to China!

1. You've been to Wally world 10 times in the past 3 days!

2. Your bathroom scale is in the middle of your bedroom so you can weigh your luggage.

3. The boys complain of having no clean socks because they're all packed, and you tell them to wear dirty ones!

4. You dream about and wake up thinking about things you need to pack.

5. Every time you pick up a toiletry, you think about how much it weighs and whether it's worth bring with you.

6. You've chosen what you'll wear on the plane because it's the heaviest thing you want to bring!

7. You've given your blog address to everyone you talk to.

8. You've prayed more in the past 2 weeks than you have in your entire life.

9. Your computer is the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning.

10. You can't stop smiling!!!!!

If you think of some more, share them...I'd love to hear them!!!

Here's a picture for you. It's of this so soft and sweet blanket that my sister-in-law made for Wesleigh. Is it not the most adorable thing ever? Can you see her name monogrammed on it? I absolutely adore it. She also made a number of adorable dresses. If I have time, I'll share them before I leave, if not....you'll just have to wait ;)
