Well, we've done so many things the past few days, and it is finally time to begin our journey home!! After four and a half years, we finally crossed our last hurdle yesterday at the American Consulate in Guangzhou. It was a bit emotional knowing that we are finally done. As we stood there with our right hands raised saying our oath, we knew that it was finally official, and Sara will finally be a U.S. citizen the moment we step into the airport in New Jersey. That brought tears to our eyes!! We can't wait to walk off of the airplane and know that Sara will have the freedom that our country provides! We have learned so much over the last two weeks, and we have truly come to appreciate the freedom more than ever and are SO happy that she will have that opportunity. It's easy to sit back and take it for granted until you actually spend time in another country for a short while and learn what it is like for them.
Well, on a lighter note, we took a pearl river cruise last night that was very beautiful. The lights of the city were so pretty! The food was not exactly homecooking, but I survived on the noodles and rice and just passed over the chicken feet! lol We are leaving today at 4:15 to take the train to Hong Kong where we will spend one night. Tomorrow morning our flight leaves at 10:35 for New Jersey! (15 and a half hours on a plane with an 8 month old baby!! YAY!!!) I don't really care though- I'll do anything to get home to my other babies!! After our 4 hour layover in New Jersey, we are Tennessee bound!!! Please pray for the trip because it's gonna be rough!! But that's okay because we can do it!! We love you all and can't wait to see you VERY SOON!!! :)
