3 weeks till take off

Plane on take off passing sun illustration photo

So three weeks from today we will finally be boarding a plane headed to our sweet boy! Our tickets are purchased and let me just tell you they were waaaayyyy more than I budgeted for...as in over $2000 a piece. Yeah. I still don't know what our in country costs are going to be yet. We are having a HUGE garage sale fundraiser on the weekend of the 14th and 15th so if you have any stuff you want to get rid of and would like to donate please let me know!
I haven't officially started packing yet. I do have a suitcase in my room that I throw random things in. I have a really long "to-do" list that I just can't seem to get started.
We are trying to finish up school and we are so ready to be finished!!!

We are thrilled for your family. I am praying that the Lord will open up the windows of Heaven and bless you for the great lengths that you have gone through to help save 2 little precious souls.

Oh my Tina, if your tickets were over $2000 a piece, what will they be in June?? I hope your garage sale is a success...I think I better get to doing some kind of fund raising too!

I have that same suitcase in my room too! After all this waiting I feel like I will have to rush to get it all done.

So true on the ticket prices...I cn't beleive how much more they are from just a couple of weeks ago.

Good luck with the final preparations...hope to see you on the otherside soon!

Tina. I'm Lois Cooke. You left a comment on our blog a week or two ago after we got our TA to go and get Hannah. We finally got our updated CIS approval yesterday and can go forward with getting the CA and making travel plans. I understand about the long to-do list that never seems to get done. Every night I wake up at some point and begin to panic. I start thinking scripture and praying and calm down. I'm excited for you and look forward to hearing more about your trip.

Tina,

I couldn't find an email address on you, but I was wondering how your TA came....is it a phone call, email or something in the mail? You can email me:

countrygirlathome@att.net

Thanks!
