Only a little over 16 days to go til we leave for China....but who's counting, right?!? Heehee! Today I spoke to Lillian and Meg from our agency (CAWLI) for our official "travel meeting". I think they were both in total shock at the lack of pre-travel questions that Mike and I have. But, let's face it, in the two weeks since finding out that our travel date was set, I don't think that either Mike nor I have had a full night's sleep. We are just too excited to sleep. And, to pass the time we have read our agency's "travel information packet" cover to cover MANY times, and have spent many an hour online, visiting adoption internet groups and reading blogs of people who are currently in China for their adoption trip (hence, the lack of pre-travel questions). We are SOOOO ready for this. Actually, we have been for quite a while. Abigail's room is ready. She has a dresser full of clothes and a closet full of toys. My job hours have been rearranged and notice has been given to Emily's preschool, since I will be staying home for a while. We are DEFINITELY ready! The only thing that is missing......or should I say, the only ONE who is missing.....is Abigail.

Anyway, the travel meeting went well. Lillian (the director of our agency) and Meg (the social worker) are both so nice, and I am truly grateful to them for all of their hard work in helping us get to this point, where in just a couple of weeks we will travel to bring our precious daughter home.
