Almost Packed

Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?!  ....first official post, first attempt at blogging, first time out of the country (since Canada doesn't really count, eh?!), first time traveling w/ a 4 and a half year old out of the country, first adoption....lots of firsts, but first and foremost, glory to God for all that He has provided throughout this experience.  I am unbelievably joyful (feel like skipping everywhere I go). I am blessed beyond words, and I am humbled that God called our family to experience the amazing gift of adoption!

We leave bright and early tomorrow morning....well, maybe not so bright since it will still be dark out when our plane takes off, but definitely EARLY!  Our bags are mostly packed and I didn't have to sit on a single suitcase to get it closed..........practically a miracle.  :)  We have assorted snacks (granola bars, pretzels, fruit snacks, trail mix, Cheerios) ready to go.......and I get to tell everyone that they are for Scarlett, even though I'm probably the one who will be eating most of them since I'm the picky eater in our bunch.  Our family of 3 is almost, officially, a family of four and I can't wait to share our adventures with those who mean the most to me...and who like to live vicariously through the quirky ramblings of a gifted coordinator (my official title, thanks to my nephew who acts more like the little brother I never had) who's not always so gifted at life (entertaining, yes; painfully clumsy, no doubt; socially inept, often; yes, the list goes on.....).  :) 

So, buckle up and enjoy!  Life is an exciting ride and I'm soooo glad that we have GPS (God's Positioning System) on board and family and friends to laugh at us...........I mean pray for us throughout our journey.
