Lots to be thankful for (and freaking out)

Well Happy Thanksgiving to all you in the US - and then just another Thursday for anyone in another country!  My family has a lot to be thankful for - we leave tomorrow to meet our son Curt in Ethiopia and have our court date!

I know that a lot of emotions are flowing through - happy, nervous - all good things.  This is the trip of a life time to meet our son!  Amazing.  I just want Curt to like us - yes - I know he will love us one day - its just gonna take time and efforts.

In the mean time - we have my father here to watch Nate while we are gone - blessed by that and spending Thanksgiving with my mom's family!  Man - I miss her and my inlaws today - I miss smelling my Mom#2's (mother in-law) - stuffing and turkey cooking away.

anyhow - about to cry for no real reasons - random emotions which I think are normal.

Happy Thanksgiving - please keep us in your prayers as we make this adventure - I'm just amazed we are going to Africa - not many can say that.
Love
Gail
