Update...

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. (I DON'T KNOW WHY)! Lots going on in this brain of mine: Packing..(whats shipping, storing, flying, or none of the above), last minute doctor/dentist visits, finalizing house arrangemnts (we currently have a lease prospect), oh and did I mention we are getting our little guy from China (so paperwork to be done).. It's really not fun moving. I do remember saying when we moved into this house that I was not going to move again!! Well, God has other plans! The only thing keeping me from going totally insane is the adventures to come across the pond. I'm thinking Italy, France, Germany, The Canary Islands!! Oh, and of course  China! Bruce was in town last week for a few days to help with house stuff. He had to get his fix of some Texas cooking (Tex-Mex) . He had lost some weight (not on purpose). The eating over there will have to take some getting use to. It could be a good thing! We did pack up a few things while he was here. He will get the keys to The Garth (house name) next week. I went to IKEA yesterday to get some furniture ideas.  He wants to at least get a bed and couch to put in the house for now so he will be able to get out of the hotels. Next week, he will be in Turkey for some meetings for a few days then on to Norway.  I told him he needs to get all this travel business out of the way before we get there!
As for as the adoption goes, we are waiting for our paperwork to be reviewed in China. If all goes well, we will then receive the RA (referral acceptance letter). This process could take anywhere from 1 to 6 months.(hopefully, the shorter time frame).  In the mean time, we need to make a decision on his name and do a little shopping for some cute outfits!
Today, when I skyped with Bruce, he said it was 12 degrees and had snowed 5 inches. He's pretty much staying indoors! I told him to get out there and build a snowman!

Well, there is packing to be done! Keep us in your prayers (especially me).
More later!
