Whew! I am finally coming down off of Cloud 9 since receiving our LOA on Wednesday. Needless to say we are very excited to be going to China. We are planning on leaving Oct 31-headed to Beijing. We will spend a few days sight seeing and then fly (3.5 hours) to Nanning, which is where we get Shelby! It is very very real now that we have official confirmation from China that Shelby is ours forever. I haven't started my "list" of things to do between now and then, but my head is spinning just thinking about everything. Right now I am focusing on our big FCCA Waiting Family Potluck that we are hosting tomorrow at 5pm. Everyone adopting or who has adopted or even interested in adoption is welcome. So let me know if you need directions. There are about 14 families signed up so it looks like we will all be tight and cozy in my little house :) I really really hope it doesn't rain so all the kids can play outside. I will finally get to see little Frannie in person! I can't wait to see her in Ellen's arms. So it looks like we are going to have a great party with a lot of new people there that I haven't even met. It is amazing to see how adoption brings so many new friends in to our lives!
