Monday, December 4, 2006, our American Consulate Appointment was confirmed for December 26th!!!!! We are scheduled to fly out on December 14th to Beijing, China!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe this is really happening now. We have all been sick with whatever "bug" is going around, but hopefully we'll all be better and ready to travel next week. Tuesday morning, I had to fly into Houston, Texas to get our Visas at the Chinese Consulate. My sister was able to drive over and meet me for lunch and a brief visit while I waited for the Visas to be completed. It was a long day, but was a great experience and so good to have our Visas completed for travel. In less than 2 weeks, we will have Katherine and will be spending Christmas at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, China! We never imagined such a wonderful Christmas Gift!!
Friday night, our dear friends, David and Ellen had a wonderful dinner for us in celebration of our travel to China. The dinner was wonderful with beautiful Chinese decorations, several delicious Chinese dishes, eggrolls, stuffed dumplings, soup, tea, dessert and the company of another family who have adopted from China and are waiting for their second. We had a great time sharing stories, eating with chopsticks and laughs with the kids. I wish I had brought my camera because everything was beautiful and the food was great. It was a great memory to add to this incredible journey to bring Katherine home. Thank you so much David and Ellen for touching our lives and sharing in this wonderful "journey of a lifetime".
