Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to post our last blog as a family of 2.5!!! It has been an exhausting day of running errands and last minute packing, but I think we are finally reaching the finish line! Tomorrow morning, we will head to the airport for our first flight which goes from Minneapolis to Chicago. Michael and I will have a small layover there before boarding our next flight to Belgium! We'll arrive there Friday morning around 9 am and have about a 4 hour layover before heading onto Liberia! Our kiddos are so excited that they will be meeting us at the airport! By Friday evening, we will be holding our babies in our arms! The thought of that is SO overwhelming!! God's goodness never ceases to amaze us! He did it! I know we still need the paperwork to make it official, but HE DID IT!! Depending on how the internet is, we'll try to update Facebook and our blog as much as possible! Hopefully, we'll be home around the end of March or beginning of April!
Thanks friends for all of your support! We couldn't have done this without you!!
Big hugs!
Michael & Carey

FANTASTIC NEWS!!
Hi All,
I had to take a break from work to share with you everything that has happened today! God is SO good! I know that we say that a lot, but He REALLY is! First, we received an email from our agency this morning and the director of the orphanage (Oretha) found us an apartment to stay in instead of the hotel, which will save us over $1,500!!! YAHOO!!! It has a/c, a kitchen and is 2 bedrooms! Amazing!! Then I received a message from Oretha stating that our kids know about us. They have seen our pictures AND WE GET TO VIDEO CHAT WITH THEM ON THURSDAY!!!!! Michael & I are SOOOO excited! I have been crying happy tears off and on all day today! If that wasn't enough, then I received an email from UPS that our visas are on their way back to us and we should have them on Wednesday!!! Unbelievable!!! They turned it around in a single afternoon! I still can't believe that, but God is good friends!
Okay, that is it for now, but the day isn't over yet! ;)
We'll update the blog after we video chat with the kids on Thursday!! Hopefully, we can get through it without crying the whole time!
Love you all!
