We have our concrete travel arrangements already!

Okay, so it did happen as quickly as I thought. I just received an email that our concrete travel arrangement are: Leaving the 16th and returning on the 29th!! They are working on our plane tickets and then the money and the stress really begin to flow!!! It's really happening now!! I will post more later. Please pray for Anthony, he doesn't like things to be out of his control and man this is, so please pray for his strength!!!
Til later!!

We have received our tentative TA!!

YEAH!! It is finally coming to the end of our long journey to bring home our baby girl Olivia. We were notified yesterday, while we were at Dollywood and THANK YOU David for calling, that we are scheduled to leave on August 16th and return between the 26th and 28th!! These are tentative right now, but the most probable dates. There have been some with all the exact time frames as us leaving on the 10th....2 weeks from now. Although that is a possibility for us, we won't know until Friday or possibly Monday.
We are planning right now on leaving in THREE WEEKS! Oh my. We have so much to do and I really don't even know when to start, but there is WONDERFUL news, we get to be with Olivia on her 9 month birthday!! How awesome is that. And, if we do leave on the 16th, then our Gotcha Day will be ON her 9 month birthday!! That's so amazing to me. We are all going crazy with excitement, but anxious and a little overwhelmed at the same time. Please pray for us that we get all our "ducks in a row!!" We have to deal with the boys and school, schedules for the grandparents like what to do when and when they are going to switch out and things like that. I have a lot more shopping to do, but it's things that I have already had in my mind and was just waiting for the correct time frame to get them....I think it's time now huh???
Well, prayers are needed and we know we will be feeling them as we have this whole time.
Leaving our boys is going to be one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. We know, pray, that they are going to be in very spoiled, do whatever they want, I mean capable hands HAHAHA, but it's not momma and daddy and we are half way across the world, it's going to be HARD!! I have already been praying for strength in that area, but could use ALOT more!
Oh, I will be posting from China, so add this site to your favorites and we will try to write and get pictures on as soon as possible. Remember that we will be 13 hours different, so your morning is our night and your night is our morning. It's crazy, but I think I am going to set one clock in our house so that the boys will know and rememeber.
Okay, that's all for now. Until I know EXACT dates, I won't be back on. I have alot to do and a short time to do it!! Is that a song??? Just kidding!
Okay, we are coming Olivia!!! Just 3 more weeks!! OH MY!!!!
Love you!!
