Posted in Africa & Ethiopia, You Can Help

I saw this picture on Facebook yesterday, and it made me smile! Christie went to high school with Brad & me, and she’s in Uganda right now. She took one of our shirts and gave it to her new friend there. I think it looks good on him!

This package arrived yesterday afternoon, and I was so excited to receive it! It was packed with donations for us to take to Hannah’s Hope. The thing that made it extra special is that I really don’t even know the people who sent it. Sarah went to school with my sister and recently heard about our adoption journey. She and her husband decided they wanted to help, so she emailed to get our mailing address. I know these things will be MUCH appreciated at Hannah’s Hope. Thank you so much Brian & Sarah! For anyone else interested in donating items, please make sure you have them to us by Wednesday, July 28th. Thanks!

Life around here feels a little crazy right now. We leave for Ethiopia two weeks from tomorrow, and it seems like my brain is in overdrive. In some ways it feels like July 30th will never get here, and in some ways it seems like time is flying by and it will be here before I know it. Yesterday marked one month since we got our referral and saw pictures of our little boy for the first time. A lot has happened since then, and it still seems surreal that we’ll get to meet him in 18 days!
