Finishing the Marathon (hopefully)



This adoption has been like running a marathon. I know we are close to the end, but we can't quite see the finish line. I am weary. Waiting for travel approval has been so difficult. So close and yet so far. I predict TA will come next week and that we'll be heading to China around July 10th. But in the meantime, I continue trucking along.

Luckily, we escaped to the mountains for 4 days, just the 2 of us. It was heaven.

Our house is nearly reassembled after the carpet install. Sunder's room is almost done. It just needs curtains, and the crib is coming next week. We were so excited to get an update on her last week, but so disappointed when all it contained was new measurements, no pictures. When we finally meet this little one, she will be 10 months older than the only photos we have of her. I know it sounds petty, but at this point you grasp on to any little thing you can.

I am trying to stay busy and keep the idle brain occupied. Luckily, I have two work projects to complete before we go to China, so that will keep me productive.
Pics are from Our Escape to the Mountains

Glad you are trying to keep busy and good for you taking a trip to the mountains!
Before you know it you'll be on that plane.
