"Like cold water to a weary soul..

Is good news from a distant land." Proverbs 25:25

And that good news came today! Yes, that's right we're going to Vietnam to be united forever with our son! We've waited for this day for so long, and I can't believe it's finally here! I looked at my phone this morning when it rang and immediately recognized the number. I knew it was The call, yet, I waited to hear those words "You have travel approval." Then the water works exploded. My sweet little girl didn't know what to make of Mommy crying her heart out. After I regrouped I had to spring into action. Lots to do now, we leave two weeks from Thursday!

Hannah just asked me, "Are you still crying?" Of course I answered yes, I think I will be for the next few days. Then she wants to know "Why?" My answer, "Because I AM SO HAPPY!"

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. What a blessing. I can't wait to "tag along" in your jorney to Vietnam.

That is the best news! The first 24 hours after we finally received our TA, I think I was in shock. All I did was cry off and on most of the time. It's as though a huge emotional weight was lifted from my shoulders.

Enjoy packing and getting ready.

Hallelujah!

Oh Sweet Baby Josiah,
Your Mommy and Daddy can't wait to hold you and neither can I! We are so excited about our trip in November to meet you. You are such a blessing! Oh, how I can't wait to shower you (and Hannah too) with lots of hugs and kisses.
Love,
Aunt Brandi
