O.K., so I'm officially the worst blogger east of the Mississippi River. At least I own up to it! I do have an excuse, if you care to hear it. China does not allow blogs. That means if you set up a wonderful blogspot account and hope to journal your travels to China on it - too bad. There are a couple of sneaky ways to get into censored sites in China, but I've heard that they don't always work. Since I really want to chronicle our journey to Kai on the web (specifically for my mom and dad), I decided to start an adoption travel journal. I will post to it almost every day we are in China and hope you will read along. You can also subscribe to our journal and receive an e-mail every time there is an update.

My last day of work (for 5 or 6 months) was Tuesday. The last two days at home have been incredible. I don't think I could stay at home forever, but it sure is fun for a little while! I have spent most of my time getting ready for the trip, talking to our travel coordinators, getting money exchanged and wired to China, shopping for orphanage gifts, buying winter clothing for the kids, and making sure we have what we need for Kai. I have turned our garden tub into a holding spot for all of our travel supplies. It's tacky but it works.
