Travel Date!!

We got the call yesterday morning!!

Our facilitator: "Are you ready?"

Me: "It's next week isn't it?!?"

She confirmed my hope that we will indeed be traveling by the end of this month!

We leave MONDAY!! Yes, as in FOUR days!!

As you would expect things are pretty crazy right now.

I'm allowing more screen time and snacks than I ever do, but hey, mama's gotta do what mama's gotta do... when you get told you have to be ready to leave the country in only a couple days!!

We're feeling awesome though!!

All four of us are overjoyed to begin this journey and bring brother and sister home!!

I just noticed that I've ended almost every sentence with an exclamation point, but that isn't even exaggerating. Our life can be summed up in one big exclamation point right now! !

With that said, I'm not going to have much time to keep pushing our giveaway so I need your help to keep sharing it until it's over.

Our giveaway is scheduled to end next Friday night (May 29th).

Next Friday we will get to meet and hold our babies for the first time (endless exclamation points).

Ryan assures me that we will still be able to use random.org and choose our two winners.

We will arrange for someone else to send out the gift cards to the winners so you can get them asap!!

How amazing that this giveaway will end on the very day that we get to hold our babies in our arms.

I just can't even handle that kind of awesome!!

Sooooo pppppllleeeaaasssseee help us finish strong on this!

We have had several entries through people purchasing t-shirts, but only a couple otherwise.

I'm a little flabbergasted!!

I have to end this last pre-travel blog entry with a HUGE...

THANK YOU!!!!

It is because of you that we are to this point! This is where the journey starts to get really messy and beautiful!! We can't wait to see God's story continue to unfold for our family. Thank you for supporting and praying for us as we take each step in faith.
