Sadness and Gladness

This has been quite a month. We have been waiting so long for news of travel and in the midst we received some news of the death of a very dear friend. We have realized that our delayed travel has allowed us to be here rather than in Vietnam to receive that news. I thank God for answering our prayers in his wisdom, He is fully aware of the bigger picture. We have grieved and will continue to do so for a long time. In the midst of our saddness has come news of a due date!!!! We will have held our little one by this time next week. We will leave for Vietnam on Friday, meet Mya on Sunday and she will be ours on July 23!!! Wow!! I was 15 minutes from departure to take Mason to camp when we got the call. We still took the planned mini vacation to take him on the 12 hour drive to camp. He will have to meet us in route to Vietnam, taking his first solo flight to get there. He thinks life couldn't get any better. So, I have returned home with 5 days to prepare for our trip and the arrival of our girl! My head is spinning a little, but it is great to know we will be leaving so soon!! Mya here we come...
