Back In NC

Well, we made it back to NC safe and sound - though we are both definitely sick of being stuck in a car! In some ways the car trip was kind of good for us. We spent most of our time just talking about our little boy and how excited we are to meet him and hold him (and touch him and hug him and kiss him and love him up). We only have one weekday and one weekend left before we get on a plane to go meet him, and finally it is all starting to feel real! For a while it felt like we would never actually be going to Ethiopia (it might sound dramatic, but there is so much uncertainty and instability in international adoption that you can't take anything for granted). We have generated some pretty lengthy To Do Lists for the next 3 days, and hopefully we will have time to get everything accomplished. Truman, we're a coming!
