A few prayer requests:
- There are two family members who are nervous about the flight
- Food issues
- Lily will most likely grieve pretty hard
- patience
- safety
- health

  2. Liz! I just found out that your Gotcha day is the same day that my friend meets her beautiful baby girl in Korea! I just wanted you to know that! :-)

    In only two more days you'll be on your way for the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy every minute of it. And you're right- it will fly by and the next thing you know you'll be home putting her to sleep in her pretty pink room!

    Don't forget to take lots of pictures! :-)
