About a week ago we learned that we received an invitation to travel to Evan's country to officially register with him and the country. We leave tomorrow!!! We will arrive in country about 2AM Monday morning, get a few hours of sleep, and then go to obtain permission to visit him in the orphanage....then we will finally be able to meet him!!!
I have been a bundle of nerves this past week and my emotions have been ALL OVER THE PLACE!! Today I almost lost my mind in Walmart because I was unable to get my photos to print!! I am trying to keep myself together because I do not want to lose it at the orphanage and have Evan's first view of his new momma as this crazy lady who is bawling her eyes out...haha!!
I am soooo grateful and appreciative of all of my friends and family for their support the past many many many months and especially this past week!! Even though we are funded for this trip, we still have about $7000 remaining to be fully funded and DONE with fundraising!! In the works we have a spaghetti dinner fundraiser, a tag the bag fundraiser, a beautiful original painting for sale, and today a friend's daughter held a lemonade stand to raise money for Evan. Other friends have donated toys, clothes, and a car seat. Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel.
If I am able while in country, I will post what I can to keep everyone up to date :-) Please pray for our safe flight and for a successful meeting and bonding time with Evan. Thank you!!
