On Monday, my dear friend Leigh held a tea in my honor. If you've never been to tea at "Leigh's Tea Room", you are missing out. It was so nice to take a break from the errands and the packing and enjoy some time with "my girls". I don't know where, or who, I'd be without my friends and my sisters. Each and every one of them shower me with love on a daily basis...I'm so blessed! Throughout this journey, they have shown undying support and have lent me a listening ear more times than I can count. My friends (and sisters...who are also my friends) mean the world to me and I treasure them all.
The packing, for China, is well under way and the excitement is building. It's been a very busy week, but I'm finally starting to feel like I'm getting a grip on everything. Tomorrow the boys and I are going "back to school" shopping...how crazy is that?! Who goes "back to school shopping" in July?! WE DO!! They are going to start school before we return home from China, so it's a "must do".
I'm hoping that if I get enough stuff done tomorrow and Friday, I may be able to take some time to float in the pool with Jacob and Benjamin this weekend. I think it will happen! :)
5 DAYS TILL CHINA!!!
UPDATE: I must have been really tired last night when I posted this. We don't have 5 days left before we leave, we have 6...and last night (when I was typing) we still had 7. Sorry! So let me try this again...
6 DAYS TILL CHINA!!!! YEAH!!!
