Oh my goodness, I cant believe we have less than two weeks before we will be on a plane headed for Honduras to FINALLY meet her. I don't know if we are more excited or if she is.
It's hard when Martin calls because we are so excited and her mom is trying to be really brave through this whole process but you can hear her sadness coming through the phone. She finally has the medical appointment set up. She will travel to Tegucigalpa (about 4 1/2 hrs away from her home) on Thursday the 14th for her appointment on the 15th. She will have to go back on Sunday so she can take her back Monday for the reading of her TB test and to get the medical results for us to take along to the interview. They will just stay in town because we will be there Tuesday afternoon.
I have been consumed with school for the past several days and don't see an end to it until next weekend. It has been really stressful trying to finish two weeks ahead of schedule but I know it will be worth it when i can leave town and know I don't have to come back and try to get my head back in the books to take finals. I'm glad all of my teachers were understanding. I still have a term paper to write, two more tests, three finals, one big project and several small ones left to complete in the next 10 days......I'm tired just thinking about that.
With school it has been hard for me to concentrate on anything else. I miss my big kids horribly. Madeline has been busy with school and Mackenzie just finished up her last basketball game for the season this week and has been busy too. I never know what I'm going to get with Mason. Sometimes he talks my ear off and other times I cant get him to concentrate on our conversation because he is too busy playing some game while we are on the phone. Our schedules haven't given us much time to talk lately so I cant wait to see them all next weekend.
Micah is great. Getting bigger everyday and doing more. He is running all over the house and into everything. He loves being outside and gets really mad when we try to get him to come in after playing. I hope Michell likes being outside too because that is where we spend a lot of time. I'm getting sad thinking about leaving Micah for the first time when we are gone but i know he will be in good hands and i know he will be fine. Hopefully we will be ably to skype with him while we are gone so we will get to see him.
I'm getting more nervous the closer it gets. I've felt so confident in this whole process until now and now I'm kind of freaking out. I told Martin the other day that I know, and have always known, that there is a possibility that she wont be coming home with us this time but I haven't really let my mind entertain that thought. I can't even imagine what that is going to be like if it happens. It will be so hard to leave her there after getting to finally spend a few days with her. So with that being said I have a few very specific prayer request for those of you who have been praying with us: 1) Please pray for a safe trip for us there and back. 2) Please pray that they approve her visa and she gets to come back with us this time. and 3) Our interview is Thursday so IF its approved they could issue the visa that afternoon or it could be Monday of the next week (they don't issue them on Friday) So our last prayer request is that they issue the visa on Thursday so we can be back in the United States on Friday.
Thank you again for everyone who has been keeping up with our story and praying for us. We really appreciate it.
