Leaving for China!

We are flying out in just 10 hours. I don't think we are going to be getting much sleep tonight! It doesn't seem real...like it's a dream happening to someone else. In only 5 days we will get to hold our little girl in our arms. I can't believe it! I have never felt so excited and so nervous at the same time. If we are able we will be updating our blog from China. You can follow along if you're interested:

Looking For Lily

My thoughts are with all of you still waiting to see your little ones. It is sooo worth it, and it WILL happen!

Julianne
