Talking 6 hours till we are GONE!!!!!!

I can't hardly believe it!!!! We will be on our way to the airport to leave for Guatemala in SIX HOURS!!!
Did I tell you.....?????

MEMO'S COMING HOME!!!!!


I think we are finally packed.. I have about 4 hours and 45 minutes to sleep... Funny huh... You know me.. I won't sleep a wink, till tomorrow night when I can see Memo sleeping right near by.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for all you have done for us. The prayers, the good wishes, the gifts everything!!!!! You all rock.
If someone gets a chance and can pass this onto all the other forums and people you know who are waiting for this day.. Tell them we love them too.

I will let someone know when we land in Houston... Then we will post as soon as possible.... Thank you all..


Did I mention......
MEMO'S REALLY COMING HOME!!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO

It feels like a dream, doesn't it! But it's for real and you are finally living these moments you've been waiting for all this time. God is good...all the time! What a gift He is giving your family and this special boy.
