So...remember a week or two ago when I said we weren't going to be assigned a court date until after the rainy season?
Yeah...well...things changed.
On Monday morning we received a call to let us know that we are due in court - in Ethiopia - next week!
We immediately bought tickets, reserved a hotel room, and have been going through a to-do list a million miles long...because we leave tomorrow!!
Tomorrow!! I am going to Africa tomorrow! This is absolutely surreal. And what's more - I am going to meet my new daughter! On Monday!
I have imagined that moment in my mind over and over. I can't believe the day is almost here!
