The news is finally in :)

We could not be happier! On Jan 31st we got the news we have been waiting for since March 2012! Tayler, LuEssa and I leave on March 8th and we will be back March 15th with our new little monkey. We have never been out of the country so this whole trip is going to be crazy full of emotions! I am hoping to get lots of traveling tips to help make things go smoothly. I finished booking travel arrangements today, boy, was that a PAIN! Now I need to finish putting Griffin and "Percy's" room together, so far we have bunk beds painted with new mattresses :) We had a friend donate a ton of clothes to us so he already has drawers full of clothes and shoes (Thank goodness for that)!! We have gifts for his birth mom and the staff at his orphanage. I am working on getting together some donations to take to the orphanage. We need to decide on an American name for him, and many more things to do before we leave. We had a skype visit with him on Jan 29th, he was pretty restless. He loved our cat and tried to pet her through the screen, he showed us animal blocks and drew a picture of his hand. He blew us lots of kisses and said "I love you". I hope he is as ready to come home as we are to go get him.

Thank you all for the support you have givin us!!! We feel so blessed to have so many special friends and family!
