Opps

Well we got here, got our luggage and found our guide, Michael, and in the car he tells us that we won't be meeting Ella today! :( something literally JUST changed yesterday or day before about the process, (government) etc... Soooo.....
It's now another day before we can meet her!!! Really bummed, but am ok! It could TOTALLY be worse, so I am so thankful!!!
We walked around Guiyang a bit this afternoon.. I stopped counting how many looks we got! I think EVERY person we walked by just stared at us!!! And on the plane we were the only people who didn't have black hair! ;)
We decided to eat at KFC we both thought it sounded good... We figured out you needed to walk in the building and go up the stairs... Got up there and we're like, uh, how are we going to order? This should be fun! We couldn't point to anything on the menu... Curt said crispy chicken and the girl just looked at him like I have NO CLUE what you just said!!! So she held up her hands and went and got a picture menu... We pointed to the crispy hot wings... It wasn't a combo.. So then he says Pepsi... Held up 2 fingers...
So what we each got was basically a snack!!! Hahaha!!!! We didn't know there was only TWO small pieces of chicken and of course the pop!!! We each had a wing and leg, both were not the big size, but the little ones!! It was too funny!!
Nice room, we are on the 13th floor... Loved getting in the elevator as someone let out a huge puff of smoke... Then I see on the wall in elevator, NO SMOKING! Hmm... But have noticed that means pretty much NOTHING out here!!! Our room last night was smoky and had 2 ash trays, which didn't the night before...? And def smelled smoke in the plane over here! Crazy!!!
So, tomorrow around 3:30, that's our GOTCHA DAY!!!! :)

This reminds us how nice it is to have NO SMOKING in public enforced here in Indiana. I remember when in Lithuania people smoked where they wished. Enjoy your "extra day" of waiting. ~Aunt Martha

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
