Things are progressing. Ticket bought, hotel booked, Olivia's clothes packed, books,...
Arrangements for my kids staying here made.....
I have been working working working, to hand my work over to a back-up while I am out ALL SUMMER.
That, plus the end of school with all the extra field trips, awards assemblies, kindergarten graduation, teacher's gifts, piano recital, concerts....
Whew!!! I will be GLAD to be on a plane for 6, then 16 hours just to rest and read!!! Looking forward to it. I might even bring a NOVEL! lol.
Can you believe after so long, the time is just around the corner to actually bring Olivia home? And to experience Ethiopia???!!! I am so excited..and so blessed that my son Nick, gets to come with me. What a time we will have.
Please pray for our journey, my kids (and pets) at home, my mom who worries about us :), and our Olivia Hiywat.
Just 11 days.
Sandee, I am SO happy for you and your family! Still watching and praying for you!

Sandee, My name is Annie. My husband and I are celebrating our 3 yr old son's birthday today (Isaac, adopted from Guatemala). While he is sleeping I was looking through his Journey book. I found a sweet note from you on a blog a friend set up 2 yrs ago to help raise money to fund us as we lost our little girl days before that. Anyhow, you sent us a SWEET message and offered your prayers....I don't think I noticed it then I was so upset over our loss and trying to figure out how to continue. Anyhow, I wanted to thank you, an angel, who prayed for us and our little boy who is now home and turning 3. Thank you. I pray your journey to bring your daughter home goes well and I will be praying for you tonight. God bless,
