We have made it to Houston, TX. One whole hour away from OKC! It has been long and arduous but I think we might be able to make it a little further. :) We have quite a few hours to kill here so we just made a very wise financial decision and spent $40 to download the entire 4th season of One Tree Hill onto our Ipod. We have 3 hours until we board our next flight, 10 hours to fly to London and then another 9 hours to get to Addis...so I think 21 episodes will be just about right. I know, we are aparently highschoolers, who watch and LOVE One Tree Hill. But I blame Amy Bottomly and Christie Sturzenbecker for making us fall in love with it. They made us. And if they jumped off a bridge, I would too. :)
I have found the most glorious snack ever. Pre-shelled pistacios. They are God's gift to me. A whole giant container filled with green, pre-shelled, salty goodness, it makes me happy as I sit here and wait to board the plane.
Every once in a while, it has really hit me that we are about to meet our son! Seriously, most of the time it still just feels unreal and far-off, but a few times today it has hit me and I get all giddy and excited! Like right now, this would be one of those moments. Eeeeeks, I am so excited!! I was telling Eric earlier...I wonder if he is squishy. I hope he is squishy. Not just chubby or big, but actualy soft and squishy...he looks like he might be. I also wonder what his little voice sounds like...is it deepish or is it high and squeeky...is he crawling? Or even sitting? Does he have any teeth yet? I don't know these things yet but in a few short hours I will!! And be sure, I will let you know the answers to these impending questions! As I'm sure you all are just dyyying to know.
Ok. Time to watch some One Tree Hill.

Hi Tara & Eric. My husband and I met you at the airport last night. We are friends of Jenn & Filipe. I hope you don't mind that we added you to our blog. I think it is so awesome what you are doing and we are currently going through the process to adopt a child as well. I'm SO excited and can't wait to hear all about Malak! What a wonderful family you have. God Bless You and we will be praying for you!

I love One Tree Hill but can't watch it regularly... boo! My brother's best friend is Lee Norris, the guy who plays the kind of dork (he was Minkus on Boy Meets World). He went to Wake with us... he's so NICE in person.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET YOUR SON! If I remember correctly, he is squishy :).
