CHINA HERE WE COME!

Well it is official that we are going,  the past couple weeks you could say have been a tad bit stressful.  We went from having to decide within an hour whether we wanted to go on July 23rd, to it looking like it was too tight for us to go, to it looking somewhat promising to 95% sure that we were going!

So yesterday we finally booked the tickets because we couldn't  really wait much longer and Yulin thought it would work out, but she still wasn't 100% sure.  So we took are chances anyway and finally tonight; after a lot of stressful and anxious days; we got the 100%!
 YAY, so we head off our island tomorrow, because our flight will leave Moncton early Thursday morning.  Then we will go to New Jersey to Beijing.  Air Canada's flights sky rocketed just within the last week, so we are taking the cheaper route.

We had our one last fundraiser on Saturday.  We did a car wash/ bake sale/ BBQ and made over $2600, so that definitely helps!  The last one we had back in June, was in a downpour/ thunder and lighting storm and we made about $900.

Everyone on our quaint little island have been so generous and supportive of our adoption and we are so thankful we live in such a wonderful community.

Well it is hard to believe that all of the dreaming, planning, waiting and praying for a little girl is finally coming true.  It still hasn't really hit me yet that we actually are doing this, but I am sure once we land in China it will sink in pretty quickly.  Can't wait to get Keely in our arms and kiss those chubby cheeks in 5 DAYS!!

Thanks for following us on our journey, we will keep the updates coming and definitely pics ( Thanks to my lovely photographer niece that is traveling with us!)
