Busy, busy.....

I have been busily working on my list of things to do before referral and have made quite a dent in it.

Here is a copy of my list from last week:

"Things to do before referral"
1. Fine tune the referral announcements so that all I have to do is add in Avery's picture, birthday, and province

2. Print out photos for her care package photo album - DONE!!

3. Gather things for care package so that it can mailed ASAP - DONE!!

4. Update and print address labels for referral announcements - DONE!!

5. Design the t-shirts that Paul, Mom, Kathy, and I will be wearing to China.
(yes, we want everyone we see to know where we are going and why!!) I haven't exactly finished the design but I did order the plain shirts and will finish the designs when I have a better idea of the exact color of the shirts

6. Review and merge all the packing lists that I have gathered from other's that have traveled before us. DONE!!

In addition to all this I have also made my grocery shopping list for my MIL to use to restock us when we come home and am planning to go to the bank today to start gathering my crisp, new $100 bills.

You would think we were planning on leaving soon instead of having a couple more months. I was thinking today that approximately 90 days from now this should all be behind us......the wait, the meeting, the trip, and we will be happily settling down as a family of 3!!! Can you believe we are finally this close??

Happy Thursday!!!!
