Well, we're waiting until the end of today before we book my flight to Guatemala. I've decided to travel to be with Lili on Sunday 8/12 (my BIRTHDAY!!!) What a great day for a gotcha day! Since we still don't have our appointment date from the US Embassy, we haven't been able to plan when Moses (& maybe Max) will come to Guate or when we will return home. So... if we get our appointment date today, I will be booking ALL of our travel arrangements. If we don't get our appointment news today, I will just book a one way ticket to Guatemala and make the rest of the plans later.
I've got almost all of my stuff packed, including everything that Lili and I will need to survive in our apartment. The only thing I still have to decide is which clothes to take for Lili. She's got SO many cute things, but I want to make sure that I take things that are comfortable and that I can layer in case of variations in the weather. Right now in Guatemala it is their rainy season... it's typically in the mid 70s during the day and the 50-60s at night. Mid 70s with sun can be warm, but mid 70s and rain can feel damp and chilly. So.... I've really got to plan well so that I don't overpack.
I'm SO excited to leave and be reunited with Lili forever, but I am getting more emotional with each day about leaving Moses and Max. This is the longest time that we've spent apart, and although I know Lili needs me and we'll have a great time, I'm REALLY going to miss my boys. Thank goodness the end of all of this is in sight, and pretty soon we'll ALL be HOME.... in one place..... together as a family.
I may not have a chance to post before I leave on Sunday, so please say some prayers for safe travels for myself (and Lili). Also, please say an extra prayer for Lili's foster family.... they will surely be upset to see her go, but I hope that they are consoled by the knowledge that we will always stay in touch with them! Finally, please say a prayer for Moses and Max so that they can survive the time that we are apart and not experience too much stress!!!
