Packed And (SOOOOOOO) Ready To Go Home

We have Crosse's U.S. visa. 
Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!!  Hallelujah!!! 

Our bags are packed.
Clothes are ready for the AM.

To say we are ready would be an understatement.

We just had our last meal in China.  I am ready for a big bowl of cereal with ice cold milk.  My next meal will be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of ice cold milk.  Ice water - yes, ice water.  Anything with ice. 


Side Note:

To my Chinese friends - If anyone knows how to make this bread and can give me the recipe - you will be my hero. It is one of my most favorite things I have eaten here.











Things we are thankful for:
A loving God who has seen us through our journey to Crosse.
Finally having Crosse with us.
Many, many friends and family who have prayed for our journey.
Other than the need to use Tru's asthma medicine in Xi'an, we have all been well throughout the trip.
Dr. Jin and her medical expertise including a express shipment of more asthma medication.
Papa Bill for taking care of our home and Five-O (our dog) while we were away.
The ability to stay in contact during this journey thanks to technology (and wifi when we could get it).
The many FaceBook posts, texts and emails offering words of encouragement.
The people of China including our competent guides and drivers. 

We check out of our hotel at 7:30 AM tomorrow morning.  In only 27 short hours, we will land in Washington, D.C.  Then an hour drive home.  Then we crash.

Please pray for the final leg of our journey and Crosse's continued understanding and acceptance of his new family and home.
