Sunday Happenings

Today is Sunday, January 31, 2010 and we got up this morning at 7:00 ish and got ready for breakfast. At breakfast we saw the Bennetts(adopting a 6 yro girl), met the Peacocks(adopting a 12 yro girl), saw the Curtis's(adopting 17mth old girl),saw the Poma family(adopting a 6 yro girl-I believe) and we met another family that their last name has escaped me but they adopted a 17 mth old also. So it was great to know that there are others in the hotel and we all are in the same boat..some are us are in the front and some in the rear. We will all eventually get to the final destination....HOME with our new family members!!!! We ate here at the hotel and it is pretty good. I have noticed that they do eat some odd things here for breakfast. Such as food we would eat for lunch or supper. There was watermelon juice, apple juice(it had a very strong apple taste) and then orange juice that tasted a lot like Tang. After breakfast we went back to the room--did some emailing and got paperwork ready for tonight. At 5:00 we had to be in Rebecca's room for her to go over everything that will happen tomorrow and what we need to bring with us for the appointment. At 6:00 our group went to eat at The Lemon House it was vietnamese cruisine. The food was really good and the blue package on the table in the picture is how the napkins come. Each person is handed a package of them to use, they are only as big as a kleenex and as thin as them also. Chris had Braised Spicy Pork Ribs and I had the Crusted Chili and Lemongrass chicken. We also had the fried spring rolls and we did try some pickled rice noodles. (It was good but the rice noodle texture was odd) There is a picture also of our group, that is only part of us there were 2 more tables and we could not get everyone in the same picture.

The building in the picture is the one that Starbucks is in and we thought it was odd that it was lighted green and Starbucks colors are green.

Tomorrow our life will change forever!!!! We are excited and very nervous. We know that God has watched over us till now and he will not leave us at this point of our journey.

Truly Blessed--waiting now for less than 20 hours,
Chris and Christa
