We started off this morning before the sun was up; around 5:00 am. We left Huntsville with no probelms what so ever and arrived in Atlanta. We fly from Atlanta to Los Angeles with only a 30 minute delay. One of the compartments fell open, so we had to go back to the gate. We are currently waiting for our flight for Guangzhou which will leave here in LA at 11:55 pm. It is hard to believe we are actually traveling to get our daughter. So many thoughts cross our mind. How will she react? Does she know we are coming to get her? We are very worn out from travel and are ready for some sleep. Maybe we will be able to rest on the flight to China. We can't believe we will soon meet our daughter for the first time. We will post once we get to China.
Braxton and Davis Daddy and Mommy love and miss you very much!!! Can't wait to see you. Please be good while we are gone.
Love,
Diane

Princess Brooklynn's Room
As you can see her room is all ready to go. We are just waiting for her to get here, so she can enjoy all her things. It is hard to belive that we will be leaving in only 12 days. Our long wait has only come down to just only 12 days! So much to do and so little time left to do it. Now comes the task of trying to pack things for 12 days as lightly as possible. They say you only need to pack 2 pair of comfortable shoes, but for those who know me that is really funny. We will see if I make it to China with just 2 pair of shoes. (I seriously doubt it.)LOL

Waiting for Travel
Well it has been a long long wait, but soon we will be flying to China to get our daughter. It is hard for me to comprehend that I will be on a plane in about two weeks to get her. Our journey began March of 2006 as the Lord led us to the decision to adopt a girl from China. We began our paperwork in April of 2006 not knowing what to expect. Well, I will have to say all the paperwork was overwhelming and I cried several times wondering if we would ever get a child. In August 2006 our Adoption Agency matched us with this beautiful little girl. It really has been a long wait, but we have always known that God was in control and in His perfect timing He would bring us our beautiful daughter. Now the time has come to go! We will be leaving for China on August 31st and then coming back with our daughter on September 12th.
Clint and I have two wonderful boys that are 12 and 9. Their names are Braxton and Davis and they are so excited to be big brothers to their new sister.
