So thankful that long waits have an end!<br /><br />God is taking care of you, every detail -- so happy to hear how the other guide just took you under his wing. I've slept with extra comforters on the mattress, which helped a little. And be sure to carry tissues with you to the potty. The one you photographed looked incredibly nice! <br /><br />Cannot wait to check your posts -- thanks for sharing! Awesome!!

So excited that our time tonight at 10:30 P.M. you will finally have the completeness that God has propelled you to! You will have the precious angel that we have all prayed for and that God has molded in our hearts. We will be praying tonight that the transition goes well and that God will go before you and make it seemless. You are so close to our hearts and minds. God has been working in all of us through your journey.

I start to cry everytime I talk to someone about you. I've had a stuffy nose since you left:) Lola woke up with a dry diaper this morning and went to the potty first thing---the big potty. If we would just stay home, she might just do it all the time. Can't wait to skype tonight. The boys will probably be asleep, but we'll get them up when the call comes. Gordon, Sherry, Mijean, Bob and whoever else wants to come here, wants you to skype tomorrow morning. We'll set up a time when we talk to you tonight. Gordon is going to take the boys fishing in your lake tomorrow. Sherry has Lola on Tues. Everything's going great. We have Caitlyn's BD party today at 5:00. We're trying to keep them busy. Love you and can't wait to see sweet little Lily.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123800611524404444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-476634402693323485.post-22333665713416007562010-09-05T13:06:37.176-04:002010-09-05T13:06:37.176-04:00Your entire family has been in my prayers!

I remember running in the hotel in Beijing and throwing myself on the bed in pure exhaustion and thought I broke my back it was so hard - ha! So I learned not to do that again while in China. Blessings to you all.

The b...Glad everything worked out with the flight. The bed at our hotel in Avery's province was awful (like sleeping on a wooden box). Craig had met a guest relations person the first day we were there, so after the first night he called to ask if there was anything she could do about getting a softer mattress. The next day they brought a different mattress which made our week long stay much more restful. Our guide did make fun of us a little about how soft mattress are the cause of Americans back pain or something to that effect. I am so excited about your next post! Praying for an easy transition on your Gotcha Day!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739298942846557179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-476634402693323485.post-85650752503933340242010-09-05T07:00:10.310-04:002010-09-05T07:00:10.310-04:00Julie and Doug I'm so excited for you guys, it...Julie and Doug I'm so excited for you guys, it gives me goosebumps just reading your blogs.
