We're Going to China!!!

In case it is not obvious, we got our Travel Approval today! Since my class was canceled I was at work and the power went out for about 2 hours so Doug and I went to lunch together and got the call then on his cell phone. Our agency is trying to get us a September 9 CA (the last appointment before you return to the US) which means we would leave around August 28th and meet Jin Pei on September 1st. We will know for sure within 3 days.

And if you are a Lions fan, yes, this means that Doug will be missing the first home football game. I'm not bending on our leave date, nope, not even by 2 days, but feel free to offer your condolences to him while you congratulate him on his TA. Promises that you will email the score every quarter will also help. :)

OH HAPPY MONDAY! I told myself I wasn't going to check this blog anymore today but I am so glad that I checked one last time.

Doug - sorry I have to support Kate on this one. The Lion pride will be sure to keep you in the game each and every quarter, play, whatever it takes!

Finally let the FINAL countdown begin

Congratulations! I know what you mean about not budging on the dates - I've told Mike's and my families that I'm going when Harrah's says to go - even if its Christmas, or if I have to go alone, or whatever - I'm not risking our connection with this little one for anything! Doug has to weigh football game/wild eyed wife v. China/no game/smiling wife. He's smart enough to pick the right one! Can't wait to read about your trip!
