2 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!

Two weeks from today we'll be leaving!! We were expecting to get concrete travel arrangements this week, and we still have all of today and tomorrow to get those. But again, 14 days!! Holy Smoke! I'm nervous just writing this entry! 2 weeks! Ironically, as nervous and excited as I am, I haven't really done nothing about it:

See all this? This is what BRANDI has done so far. All the stuff on the floor next to the suitcase is hers. The left half of the suitcase is hers. The right side of the suitcase is mine, which is empty. This is two days old, by the way.

This is the supply suitcase. Ziplock bags, travel size soap deoderant, toothpaste, soap, baby wipes, shaving cream, suntan lotion, etc. Also in the picture is Lucy. She was following me around and obviously wanted to be in the picture. But, I think she has some insecurity issues, because when I called her name to look at the camera, her perky ears fold back and she looks away. She needs help...

So, we're still keeping an eye on the Yahoo Chat Group to hear from the families that have been there already and what they have to advise. We have learned that not many families are going to Guangxi with us. We haven't found anyone who is getting a child from Beihai like we are. It would be nice to travel with a big group, but them I thought about Gotcha Day. If we have a small group, it won't be so hectic. Usually, they bring out all the children and start calling out names. Then, the babies start crying when their nannies hand them off to these excited round eyed people they have never seen in their lives. If we have a small group, it won't be so bad.

So, we're excited!
