We just purchased our tickets! We will be leaving Minneapolis on Friday, December 7th. There are a plethora of ways to get to Vietnam, none of them easy. We will be flying from Minneapolis to LA, then on to Hong Kong, and finally to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). By the time we get there, it will already be Sunday morning, December 9th. Vietnam is 13 hours ahead of CST.
There are a lot of details to finish up before we leave; countless forms, notarizing galore, day dreaming about how great it will be finally meet our son. If there was ever great material for one of those Visa commercials this is it;
Plane Tickets: $6000
Hotels for 3 weeks: $2000
Finally meeting Jonah: Priceless

Hey Guys!!!
You are probably flying somewhere over the Pacific Ocean right about now! Almost to Hong Kong!!! You have been on my thoughts constantly since you left yesterday. I hope that you had safe travels and everyone got some sleep! We look forward to hearing that you made it there safely!!!
So much love and prayers-

Hello Beaches!
We are praying for you and counting the days until we get to meet Jonah as well. Today, I asked the boys who their friends at church are, and Liam said "Olivia" and Jude said "Two Olivias." They are looking forward to meeting Olivia's brother too!
