Destination: China Baby!

I know.
I know.
I knooooowwww.

But come on.
That was fun.
Ok....fun for me at least.

Here's a hint.



 Ok.
Just kidding again.
Ha!
This is so fun!
It's my blog and I'll cry post a pink dress if I want to.

Before all of you unfriend me for good,
here is the real deal.
Meet Micah.

He is the soon to be son of a dear friend of mine and
she
has
asked
me
to
go
to
China
with
her!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I am ridiculously excited. 

Last time I went I was surrounded by 6 children,
boys no less,
so my ability to really drink it in and explore were limited to the playground and other such things that typically involved food of some sort.
Fun. Don't get me wrong.
But just different.

I will be her official coke & coffee go getter,
errand runner,
food fetcher
and I'm planning a very special trip back to Jacob and Joey's orphanage/finding spots/foster home(they are from the same area as Micah) where I will see these cuties again and so much more. 
We will be in GZ the entire trip.

Estimated travel:
January/February.

Whose coming with us?

    1. Well, that is a huge bummer....but I WILL bring you back some tea. Can you email me a pic of the wrapper again or send me a used wrapper like last time! I'll try to break my 4 month record of having it on my counter. No promises though. ;)

  6. How awesome! I went with my sister and husband when they adopted their second son. Can't wait to go back someday, and really hope it's to bring home one of those cuties! Can't wait to follow another journey of yours.

    1. Bahahahahaha!!! Kelly I hadn't thought of that. If we do ever adopt a daughter no one is ever going to tell us Congratulations....they are going to be like....whatever Sonia. What. Ever. Ha!

  11. We should be there adopting our 6 year old son the middle of January. It would be a total kick to see you! I imagine we will be at the Garden that second week in GZ...any chance you will be at that hotel?

  12. It doesn't look like I will be there----wish you could bring my little Sunshine home with you! There is certainly no one I would trust with him more than his crazy Auntie Sonia!!!
    Love You Sweet Friend,
    Amy

    1. Dude. Don't even get me started on how much I would love that. They should really adopt some type of policy that allows "Aunt's" who happen to be over there anyway transport kiddos over for you. :)

  13. You had me going when I saw that dress. But that is definitely the way I want to go back sometime. Anyone need an experienced traveling companion?

  14. FUN! I have a friend traveling somewhat soon (waiting on LID and LOA), and she wants me to be her travel companion... not sure how I can swing it though?! Trust me, I'm trying to find a way 'cause I am dieing to go back and the only way I'm getting there is with someone else!
