our travel day

 We had a long day of travel I think it was 30 hours with layovers and flights a long long day. On one of the planes I saw a couple and just knew that they were also adopting, I could just feel it. They ended up sitting right behind us. I turned and asked them," are you adopting?" they said, "yes how did you know?" I said," I don't know I just felt it.,"They had already adopted 4 children 3 years ago siblings. and they were now going back to adopt the older sister of the children, she is 16. It was a really great story I'll post their blog as soon as she sends it to be. Isn't it just wonderful how God puts people in your path to give you encouragement and strength!
On our flight from Portland to Seattle we talked to the flight attendant and told her about our adoption.  Before we landed she announced on the loud speaker the we are on our way to adopt a son.  Everyone on the plane clapped for us that was so neat.
  We had little TVs on the long flight 9 hrs and I watched 5 movies lol. They were all movies I have been wanting to see so that was good.(I still do not like flying but the little tvs did help.) I ate some yogurt that came with our breakfast against my best judgment. I mean really all the while I was eating it I was saying to myself don't eat that its going to make you sick! Well guess what? by the time we landed I was feeling so bad and I don't get air sick so I know it was the yogurt .(note to self listen to yourself when yourself tells you not to eat something)
ok so the trip was not fun not at all but just shows what we are willing to do to bring our boy home.
When we got to Josiah's City we were 3 hrs late and our driver Boris was waiting for us he picked up our coordinator E on the way to our hotel.when we got to our hotel room the same hotel we stayed at last time but this time Boris booked it for us we only paid $90 per night and Boris had arranged for them to have a fruit platter and water for us we also had robes and slipper we didn't have these things last time so we know Boris pulled some strings for us it was really nice to have the fruit since we would not get to eat breakfast in the morning do to fasting for the medicals.

I'm excited to fly Lufthansa again. We flew Delta this trip and it doesn't hold a candle to Lufthansa! Sorry you got sick...
