12 Days, Kristy & I are leaving in 12 days, aaahhhh!!

I can't believe it, 12 more days & I will be on my way to get our baby boy, wow. We have soooo many different emotions right now, excited, nervous, anxious and me emotional about so many things, can't wait to get our boy but sad about leaving, Timmy & I are rarely away from each other and we are rarely away from our kids. PLus I'm scared about flying, I HATE to fly. Kristy keeps assuring me that all will be well and that Tylenol pm is our friend, hah!!!! So thankful, that she is going with me, she has been amazing. Several people including our pastor said yesterday what a great person to travel with!! Please pray for our trip, that our Lord will keep us safe and healthy while we are away. Please pray for Timmy and the kids while I'm gone, please pray for Cooper this will be difficult for him, I spoke with our director and she said that he is really taken with his nanny. Also he has not yet had his TB test they wait and do this at the last minute, please pray that he is healthy!!!!! Please pray that God will work on his little heart to accept us & that God will knitt our hearts together.

    I will be praying for God to be in control of your traveling times and that he will give you strength and peace during that time.I pray that He will help little Cooper to feel your love for him and that transion for him will be easy.Enjoy your time with him and I know he will be loved by all your family and friends.God has blessed so richly with Lola Joy and I pray that your family will feel that blessing as well with Cooper.
