Our Travel is Scheduled

We scheduled our travel today and bought our plane tickets, so Chloe, Chris, and I are leaving for Vietnam on October 3rd at 12:12pm to start the journey to adopt Gabrielle. We'll arrive in Hanoi on October 4th and will adopt Gabrielle on October 8th. It feels ironic that after such a long wait, we are now rushing to finish all the final paperwork, packing, and planning in a week. While we're nervous about finishing all the details, we are beyond ready to make this journey to Gabrielle. We keep thinking about how our lives are about to change in just a week. I think about just the details... what dinner time will be like... what it will be like to take family walks... We are about to have the honor of being Gabrielle's parents, and Chloe is going to be a big sister. Gabrielle is in our thoughts always. It's hard to express the joy and the love we feel for this little person we only know through pictures.

Has it crossed your minds once or twice how sweet it is that the girls will share the same month of adoption?! I have almost worn out the computer mouse clicking on the blog to see the wonderful news of a travel date. Much love!
