51 Days.

1 month.

19 Days.

18 hours.

17 minutes.

And I'll be on an airplane at this time, flying to China. That's a grand total of 51 days. BOY does time fly. And I'm so excited and SO ready to be there.

Today my cousin left for China... She's going to stay at New Day (orphanage) for a few months... and I have to admit, I'm pretty jealous. Haha. I wish that was me right now. But for now I have to wait.

It's been an exciting week.

We'd been praying for a 10th team member to come on our trip with us... 1) it would be cheaper because we get group rates and 2) we needed more arms to hold our precious babies.

Today we officially got our 10th team member... I got a text from a friend saying that she's coming with us. Again. For the third time as well. AHH! AMAZING the things that God can do.

I'm so excited. Because now my dear friend Elyssa is coming back again.

I absolutely love this girl, and China wouldn't have been the same without her. And I'm so excited because we need familiar faces, as well. I can just remember how excited the orphanage was to see that both of us came back last year... and now we have SIX on this team returning. SIX!

I'm so excited about what God is doing with our team. It's going to be amazing.

I'm so thrilled right now... only a short time until I'll be able to see my sweet kids!

( And yes, I do currently have 2 countdowns on my phone going at once... ;)
