Well after an exhausting yet exciting day, I am finally sitting down to tell my exciting news! My travel call came in today at 11:18am! Kim, Lu and I will leave Tuesday to finally bring my little girl home! I am thrilled to say the least and just can't wait to finally hold her in my arms!
We obviously have tons to do in the 4 short days we have to prepare for the 16ish hour flight, but I really think it will become a blur! Tomorrow is my last day of work for 12 weeks... yes 12 whole weeks I get to spend with Mebrate bonding, learning and developing! My fabulous Aunt Judy is coming into town from Florida to help Mom take care of Grayson and Marin for the 12 days we will be traveling. Can't thank her enough, I know Mom will need the support and shoulder. She is having a hard time with all three of us traveling!
So overall should be an interesting trip... 3 Meinken daughters, 2 of which have never left their only children for more than a weekend and have never been out of the United States... and the third picking up her child and the only one with experience in Africa! For those of you who know us... good luck Ethiopia!!!

    I am so very happy, thinking that probably today, while I was sleeping, you held your daughter for the very first time. :*)
