Leavin' On A Jet Plane!!!

Well, it's been quite the crazy past day and a half. Yesterday, we received some emails from our specialist Jan that there might be another step of paperwork that we might have to go through before we could travel, and if that was the case, it would probably delay our traveling a month or more! UGH! What a tense time! Our hearts were just breaking!

To make a long story short, all has been resolved today. I spoke with Jan shortly after 1pm, and not only did she tell me that everything was in order for us to travel, but she officially assigned us to the Sept. 4 travel group! Jerry was able to call the travel agent we talked to last week and go ahead and book the tickets we had on hold (today was the last day they could be on hold for the price we were quoted. After that, we could keep them on hold, but the price would go up. Phew!) So, on Sept. 1, just one month from today, we will be on a plane headed for Ethiopia to bring home our little Hanna!!!

We got the news shortly after we had completed a marathon shopping trip to get most of what we need for the trip. I'm off to pack a baby bag and a small pharmacy! :)

Thank you, Father, for answering our prayers and the prayers of many faithful friends!
