Almost There!

It is now 8pm in Guangzhou. We just got back from dinner (there was a huge rain storm...but we braved it). We met our guide, Simon, today. He told us all about what is going to happen tomorrow when we go get Gracie. We can't begin to tell you about the emotions we are feeling right now...scared, excited, very tired all wrapped up in one! We will meet our guide tomorrow (Monday) at 2pm (2 am Monday US). We have talked to other adoptive parents and they tell us that it is a tough day, but the children begin to adjust fairly quickly. Soooo....maybe the next time we post we will have the good news!

Miss you all sooooo much!

PS. Sorry no pics today...we are using the computer in the room since I haven't figured out how to hook up my own to this Internet yet!!! O

Load up on chapstick tomorrow to keep those lips moist. You will not be able to stop kissing her! I am so thrilled for you.
Hugs and kisses,

Oh my it is soooo close, you are probably getting up and so anxious and excited at this point, we are getting ready for bed and anxiously awaiting the early morning to see pictures hopefully and hear how your long awaited day to hold your beautiful girl went.

Thank you so much for sharing all of this with all of us. We can't imagine the excitement you are feeling and know that all of us are feeling it with you!

We love you and we are holding you close in our prayers and thoughts on this very special day.

Love, the Hunters
