WE'RE GOING TO CHINA!!!!

WAHOO!! We received the much anticipated travel dates today. I was out delivering some thank you notes to our wonderful and gracious friends and had stopped at the store when Mark walks in (after searching most of the base and calling everyone he could think of) and says "how would you like to meet your baby girl on October 13th!!!"? With much excitement, we all start asking questions at once! Here is what we know:

Leave states for China - October 8th or 9th
Become a bigger family when we hold Joy for the first time- October 13th
Consulate Appointment - October 21st
Return to states- October 23rd

Now we need to book tickets tommorrow and look at flights out of here. It's actually happening! Baby Joy we can't wait to hold you in our arms!!

Well, October will sure be a fun month...and you get to have Thanksgiving, Christmas and bring in the new year with Joy - literally and figuratively!
Can't wait to follow your journey.
God Bless!
