The travel journey begins

After 2 flights, with travel time total equalling around 20 hrs, I am finally in Shanghai, China!  I am exhausted but excited!  Today is Sunday, and I am looking forward to going to church will lots of my old friends here. I am so grateful for my awesome friend Jen and her family, for allowing us to stay in her home while we are in Shanghai!

I have to start getting ready soon, so this post will be sort of basic, but I guess each journey begins with a step--and boy have I stepped!  This is my last day to be without Mason, and I hope I can rest up enough to keep up with our active 18 month old!!!

I will try to post more of our adoption journey-up to this point- and additional feelings later tonight.

More to come (including reunion pics) in the coming days.

      Thanks, Lynne! You were a very crucial person to this journey of adding sweet Mason to our family. We appreciate you big time!
      I can't even remember what I said when I met him...I just remember being so excited to meet him, and when I did meet him, it was love at first sight. :)
