Shocker

Well, we thought we had ruled out the next few weeks for traveling to get A, but we received word earlier this week that our paperwork had gone through and A is ready and we were to be in Ethiopia in 10 days.  We were not prepared to leave with little more than a week's notice, and honestly, I almost chickened out.  Luckily, I called my best friend and she slapped some sense into me (thanks, Miss).  Since then, life has been a whirlwind of preparations.  We leave in a week!!!!
