Can you believe it..its finally, finally real. This roller coaster ride has been so damn hard..one minute they were coming, the next they weren't..now they are ABSOLUTELY coming...they are booked on a flight getting into DC on August 8th at 10 am!!! Just ten days away!!!!
My mom is flying out next friday so that she can go to the airport with me..we will make a big banner with the American flag and the Ethiopian flag and I have gifts for them. I was able to send their backpacks over to Ethiopia with clothes and games etc. I sent adorable outfits and shoes and socks and underwear.i8 bought them the cutest boxer briefs..sooo cute. I cant wait to see them coming off of that plane in these outfits. I think Im going to lose it!!! Im glad my mom will be there for this with me..I couldnt imagine anyone that Id rather be there with me at the airport to meet my children...the woman who gave me life....it just blows me away!
Well anyhow..Im counting down..just ten short days..I know I wont sleep at all..I just cant believe my wait is almost over!!!! Tick tock!

Re: Help me countdown....10 days!!!! 9 days now!!!!

Thanks so much everyone for your faith in my 'mom skills'..Im terrified..didnt think I'd be doing this single...but they are much better off with me than in that orphanage and I will find positive role models for them to be around..I have alot of great guy friends thankfully, as well as a brother in law and two brothers! Someone asked how old the boys are..they are both 8 at this point. But we will get more accuracy once they go to the dentist..these ages are guesses by the orphanage and we will have to pick their birth dates. 8 days now!!!!!!! Tomorrow will be one week!!!!!! YEA!!!
