Hold on, to me as we go. As we roll down this unfamiliar road. And although this wave is stringing us along. Just know you’re not alone, cause I’m going to make this place your home. Settle down, it'll all be clear. Don't pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear. The trouble it might drag you down. If you get lost, you can always be found. Just know you’re not alone,cause I’m going to make this place your home.

9 Days and Counting!

I realized yesterday when I was going to bed that I had not posted for 10 days and counting.  The Rock and I are trying to get through Downton Abbey before we leave since we know watching shows together late at night will be a thing of the past in the near future.  We are actually trying to get a lot of things done before we leave NEXT WEEK!!  I still cannot believe that in less than two weeks I will have my Cherry Blossom in my arms!  Her room is ready, our bags are pretty much packed, our paperwork is in order, the money has been wired to China, our plane tickets are in our hands, our hotel rooms are reserved and we are just waiting for February 28th to come!


Today we received a much more detailed itinerary for what we are going to do in Beijing.  Our first big adventure will be the Great Wall of China and this will also be our last adventure as a childless couple.  We never imagined five years ago, when we began the journey of becoming parents, that we would be travelling across the world.  After our Gotcha Day we will then spend days visiting various government offices and dealing with medical needs.  We then get to experience China with our daughter by visiting;

Tian’anmen Square 
 
 
Forbidden City

 
Temple of Heaven


 Beijing Zoo  -  Panda Bears!!

 
 Summer Palace


We are so excited to experience this country with our daughter!  Be prepared for lots of pictures, that is if I can figure out how to download them :)
