I’ve had a couple of frustrating things happen over the past few days and I have let them cloud my afternoons. What can I say? I’m a “fretter.” I’m still processing some of it so I’m not going to spend time explaining everything right now. I’d prefer to document the good things of the past two days. And, when I say good, I mean YEA! Check it out:
** Our passports are back safely with our Visas. WHEW!
** I picked up our plane tickets.
** We’ve learned that we can wire a portion of our fees, so we don’t need to carry that cash with us during the trip.
** We have two suitcases in our living room ready for packing.
** Ella is going the the groomer on Sunday night and will have a little Monday spa day (shower and shave/summer cut). She’ll feel so much better.
** Ron is getting a haircut tomorrow night so it will be short and he’ll be ready for the HOT Guangxi sun.
** We learned tonight that Hope’s foster family received her/their care package (not sure when it arrived, but they have it). I hope they’re enjoying all the goodies. That means that Hope has seen a picture of us!!!
** WE’LL HAVE HOPE IN OUR ARMS IN 18 DAYS!!!
The good things far outweigh the bad and sometimes I need a little reminder of that. Thanks for the support everyone. We’re almost there!
Sweet dreams - Beth
P.S. And, I helped bust a pot smoker in the bathroom at school. HA! :)

Yippee!!!
Such a great list of good news. Hope has seen our picture too.
We can't wait for her to be home. Soon. Very soon.
Anxiously waiting,

Hey Beth and Ron!
That is an impressive list of "YEAS". I'm so glad your passports and VISAS got to you safely. That's a huge load of your minds, I know. And how fun to think that half way around the world there's a little girl who has now seen pictures of her family who loves her so very much. That is so awesome.
We love you guys!
Melody (Mark and Hope, too)
You really are a mom when you add to the list 'busting a pot smoker in the school bathroom"! I am dying to meet Miss Hope. Can't wait and will keep you in my daily thoughts and prayers. Melissa B
