NVC and a Hunka Hunka Baby Love

Refresh.
Refresh.
Ignore laundry.
Refresh.
Refresh.
Refresh.
Throw an orange at hungry children.
Refresh.

That was my day.

Waiting.
NVC.
They said they'd email our cable
and well
THEY DID!!

We are one big step closer to little man.
Article 5 will be expedited.
TA will be expedited.
Flight from US to China.....soooo not expedited.
Oddly it still takes the same amount of time to fly from here to there regardless of how big a hurry you are in. Weird, I know.

So in between hitting refresh this hunka hunka baby love appeared in my inbox.


Bestill my heart.
baby Joshua.
Circa February 2004.

Start your engines,
we are going to China....soon!

  1. I cannot imagine what your are going through. I try to put myself in your shoes, but all I can come up with is my other sweet adoptions. Not one with anxiousness for their health. Not one wondering what will happen. I pray everything scoots along rather quickly now.

    Will your time in China be shortened any? Or will it be the normal 12-ish days?

  7. Our lives are mirrors of one another! The NVC must have thought they were seeing "double"! I was sitting in 5 Guys (hamburger place) in Orlando hitting refresh, refresh, as I stuffed french fries in my mouth! You would have thought I won the lottery when the Email came through! I was high five-ing my other two 7 year olds and praising God! Got it to GWCA with about 30 minutes to spare before the package left for China!!! We were meant to be friends, you know? I am blessed! :-)

  11. Woo-hoo! NVC Out!(is that what you call it with China? Never sure how much of the terminology is the same) :) Praying for your next steps to be very quick and for safe travels for everyone traveling and sanity for those staying behind! And especially prayers for Joshua's health in the all the upcoming transition!
