We'll be leaving bright and early in the morning (Weds. 6/16) on a 6:00 a.m. flight for China! I'm not sure how much sleep we'll get before then, but then again, we've got lots of time to sleep on the plane, I suppose! We have to be at the airport at 3:00 a.m. After several stops, we'll finally arrive in Beijing late Thursday night 6/17)...China's time of course. That would be Thursday morning some time USA time.
It's so hard to believe that this day is finally here! I'm a big glob of emotions right now! I didn't realize I would feel all of these overwhelming thoughts and emotions. I don't even know if I could explain them all if I tried!
Please continue to remember us in your prayers, if you would....for protection, an easy transition/bonding for Luke (and all of us), for Colt here at home, for our health, peace of mind, rest.....just cover us with your prayers! We're so thankful for all the prayers and support you've already given us!
While we're gone, I will be posting here. You can scroll down and see all the posts, with the most recent post at the end, or there is an option in the top right hand corner that says most recent post. I will post as often as I can to keep you updated and share our journey with you! I hope to even be able to put a link to a video or two as well.
You can leave comments on this post and I will be able to read them through my email(I can't view my actual blog from there because blogger is blocked in China) or you can click on the send encouraging words option at the bottom of the Journey to Luke site and it will send an email directly to me. And I will be checking my email daily in China...as its my direct line of communication to my family and friends back at home! I'd love to hear from you!
Okay, I think that's it. Next time I post, it will be from China!
Thanks again for stopping by and for the prayers and for following our Journey to Luke!
We're on our way!!!!
Lots of love,
~ Tammy ~

Tammy, so many good things ahead for you all. May your journey be safe and filled with happiness. Looking forward to pics. Blessings from Cabin In The Woods in NC
ReplyDeleteI fell asleep last night thinking about your family. How lucky Luke is that you found him. I am enjoying your pictures of Luke and Joy so much. I think they found a friend in each other. I feel like a friend to you, because you are sharing so much with everyone. You are such a great family. I look forward to many years of pictures of your family.
ReplyDeleteI could not figure out how to comment on your other site, but I have been following your journey!! I am so excited for you and praying that you are not getting sick. Luke is such a sweet boy! I love his cheeks. You all look so happy. Cherish these first moments. I cannot wait to read more! Come home safely.
ReplyDeleteTammy,
ReplyDeleteI haven't been around blog land for quite awhile but I was thinking about you today and wondering if Luke was with you yet. I have somewhat of an answer and I'm so excited for you! Now I'm off to read where you said you would be posting while you're away...I bet you can't wait to get home!
