Two Weeks from Right This Minute

I'll be boarding a flight.
Unbelievable really.

In the interim I thought I should keep busy
so I scheduled Christmas and New Years.
And a few other things...

Choosing hardwood for the living room
(did this today)
Cleaning
Wrapping
Cleaning
Cooking (also unbelivable, I know)
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with friends and Family
Hosting Boxing Day, baby holding
(though I have to share with Grandma)
More cleaning
A couple of tutoring sessions
Choosing ceramic tile for the kitchen and entry
Cleaning
Meeting with Jack...the one who builds houses...
Imagine the book,
"these are the floors Jack installed, while I was in Vietnam"
A touch of last minute shopping
(for Immodium anyway, and books for the flight)
A spa day with the ladies
Lunch out
Photo developing
(for the orphanage director and past nannies of Ben's buddies to be...)
Oh yeah, installing gates and building cribs
And packing.
For up to 4 weeks or so in Vietnam.
Right, must pack...

That is awesome news!!! I've been so busy with work, I'm only now getting caught up on all the news. Fantastic! What an amazing way to start 2009. I'm looking forward to following your journey.

Now - all you have to do is get through the Christmas holidays. By the looks of your list, you've kept yourself busy enough that the time should fly by....pardon the pun ;-)

Wishing you all the best as you head off to be united with your son. Safe journey!
