The day is here! We leave for the airport in a little more than two hours. Then we fly from Charlotte to D.C. Tonight we board an airline for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. From D.C. it is about a 15 hour flight.

We will meet up with another couple in D.C. who is also adopting through CWA and who is on our same flight. I have plenty of magazines, books, cards, crossword puzzles, to keep me busy while I am not sleeping. Oh, and my husband too - (smile, it's Valentine's Day). The past week(s) our conversations have been so centered on preparation for this trip that it will be nice to take a deep breath and relax.

I did happen to wake up with a "crick" in my neck. Of all days! I am believing that it will go away quickly. (Maybe carrying a backpack and carry-on bag will help-ha)

We can't wait to meet Joshua Monday morning! And now I better go!! We'll try to post if we can from our guest home. If not, we'll be back in 7 days!
