A few things before we go......

First and foremost the HUGEST THANKYOU to all of you that have given donations for the transition home and orphanage. We are still trying to stuff all that we can in the one bag just for that stuff....o well, if it's over the 50 lb limit, it's going to a good cause and thanks to some good friends of ours, they provided a check for that very reason.....thank you!!!!
Thank you everyone for the continued thoughts, prayers, cards, gifts, donations, etc, etc.... for RB as well! We have recieved the most amazing support through this and I cannont imagine any of you not going throuh all of this with us! We cannot wait for you to meet him!!! When I sit back and think about where we started from, the "unknown" of it all-I never felt uneasy....something was telling us this is where we were meant to be in our life!
We leave in 2 days! And at the same time it's really bitter sweet. There is so much that is going on in this week alone, that I know Im going to have a really hard time with it all. Tonight, I will be saying goodbye to my brother and one of my close friends, as they are moving to California while we're gone, so tonight is the last time that i'll see them before we leave. We love you guys, and can't wait til Rylee can meet Uncle Jake and Miss Emilie! We're also going to be missing Ryan's dads wedding as we have to leave on Saturday. So, as we sit in the airport for 8 hrs, we know that all of our family is together back home, enjoying such a special occasion-but what we have to do is keep in persepective of what this trip is. WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR SON!!!! So, as much as it saddens me that all of this is going on, we know that it's for a reason and finally our little boy is coming home to meet you all! So, Bill and Mary-we love you guys and we will be for sure thinking of you on such a special day! Mary-welcome to the family, we love you and can't wait for Rylee to meet his new grammie!!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers so that we have safe travels, and our stay in country is stress free and we have an amazing transition with Rylee! We cannot express how excited we are to return home on the 23rd and see all of your smiling faces and open arms....we'll so be needing that by then!!!! So, this is it-probably our final post before we take off. God Bless you all!!!! See you in a week!

All our Love!
~Ryan and Meggan
