1st visit trip!
Well, it's finally here! We leave tonight for Atlanta where we'll board a flight tomorrow bound for Guatemala! I'm so happy and excited that on Friday I will be holding my daughter for the first time! So many times I've dreamed of this and pictured how it would be! The planning, the packing, the organizing has all been hard but, I'm sure once she's in my arms, I won't think another thought about it! Please keep us in your thoughts this week! I'm hoping when I return to hear of a LOT of OUTS from PGN so there's room for us to get in there!
Take care everyone! J

I'm right there with you -- literally!
We're leaving late tonight -- arriving tomorrow morning at 7:30 am, Guatemala time! I'm hoping to get some sleep on Thursday night before they bring our baby to us on Friday morning -- but I can't sleep when I'm this excited!
Have a safe, wonderful trip, and I will look for you!
