Emotions

As we are so close to meeting our daughter, there are so many emotions we are experiencing. It's hard to capture them all, but here's a start.

Excitement. Excited to meet our daughter for the first time and go to court where hopefully the judge with announce "she's yours!"
Sad. Sad to be leaving our boys.
Grateful. Grateful to Pete's parents for taking care of the boys so we can leave knowing they are well taken care of.
Love. We feel so much love from our friends and family as they support us on this journey.
Nervous. Heck, we're flying to Ethiopia! I really hope the guy from our guest house remembers to pick us up at the airport.
Scatterbrained. Did we remember to pack everything?

Pete just came down the stairs and I asked him how he is feeling. His response, "like eating Mexican food." Hey, we all deal with things in our own way! After I read him the rest of the post he commented that he feels all of those emotions too... and like eating Mexican food.
