Tomorrow morning we will fly out of Nashville to Detroit. After a few hours layover we will then fly over 13 hours to Beijing. Most who know me are aware I am very scared of flying. In my brain I think "If my car stops running, no big deal. If the plane stops running...." And then my imagination runs WILD! I would appreciate any prayers for the flights we must take and that maybe my mind will be able to dwell on happy thoughts instead of plane problems. ;)
Leaving Hunter behind was so hard. No makeup today because I knew there would be tears. Watching him try not to cry was gut wrenching. I watched his chin quivering and saw a big tear roll down his cheek. It was all I could do to hold myself together till I got to the car. I have great faith that he is in good hands and will be spoiled rotten, but that was so hard for this momma. Please pray for strength for us and strength for Hunter during this long time apart.
Our "Gotcha Day" will be Monday, June 9th. China is 13 hours ahead so that will be sometime Sunday night-early Monday morning at home. Until then we will have to adjust to China time, get to know others in our group, and do a little sight seeing. I would have never dreamed I would get to see the Great Wall of China! Looking forward to some of the amazing sights and experiences we will have. But the Ellegood's are eager for June 9th so we can get our little princess.
God bless you all, and keep us in your prayers.
Stephanie :)
