This week has been a lot of fun...and a lot of shopping! Since we are just waiting on our TA (Travel Approval) from China, our adoption agenda for the next couple weeks is shopping and packing!!
As we are going through our travel workbook in preparation of getting Melanie, we have come to the three page list of "items needed for travel". Wow...I don't think we are going to have any room in our suitcases for our clothing. As someone who enjoys shopping...this week has been a blast. Jason, Cohen and I took our three page list to Babies R Us on Saturday and Target on Sunday (Mother's Day) to start shopping for our "items needed for travel". Even after shopping for more than an hour at Babies R Us and two hours at Target...we did not get everything required. So Cohen and I went back this afternoon to finish most of the list. We have now bought out Target of every travel size item needed for a twelve day trip to China!!! Thank you for Target gift cards from our sweet friends at Melanie's shower. What a blessing!!! Now we are down to a short list of items we need to finish packing our bags for China.
The only moment that has not been fun this week was Monday...when we had to get our Typhoid fever immunization shots. Not fun! We have definitely had some side effects from it...but know it is better than actually getting Typhoid fever. Only one more immunization left before China!
For those prayer warriors out there...we have a prayer request list for our adoption:
1. Melanie's safety and health
2. Jason and Karla - safety during our traveling and that we do not get sick
3. Karla - travel anxiety
4. Cohen - safety, health and adjusting to being away from mom and dad
5. Adoption paperwork and process to go smoothly...no glitches.
5. Adoption finances - We are still in need of $7,100 to complete our adoption process. This money will be due the moment we get our travel approval. The travel approval can come as early as the last week of May.
