tomorrow,
you're only a day away!!
I feel like running, skipping, crying, dancing, laughing and singing like Annie at the top of my lungs! We just ate breakfast in the hotel and it was awesome.... my normal routine is a pop tart and water but today, I managed to devour an omelet, waffle, hash browns, coffee and orange juice! Everywhere I turned there were chinese babies with white parents... again, it made me want to cry, laugh, praise the Lord and overall feel crazy. I managed to contain myself but I did bombard one family with a million questions. It is really bizarre to be in a hotel where every time you turn a corner, there is a dad holding a snack trap or a mom with a baby strapped to her... everyone here is going through the exact same thing we are.... I want to hug everyone I meet and I feel such a connection to total strangers. I realize we don't even have Mei Sims yet but I LOVE THIS JOURNEY WE ARE ON!!!! And I wish it was something everyone could experience. I feel so beyond blessed that this is God's plan for our family.... I could go on and on. To pass the time, we are about to go workout in the gym.... Don't faint if you know me well. :)
I wanted to give you a brief look at the schedule of events for our time here:

Glued to your blog! SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY YOU HAVE AHEAD FOR YOU! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THOSE PRECIOUS PICTURES OF YOU HOLDING YOUR SWEET GIRL!!
I know just how you feel. When we were at the White Swan.. Seeing all the families... I wanted to ask everything. I even kept a journal for the whole time we were there... And I am not a 'journal' person... I knew. Would forget the little stuff. Take care (of to Vegas for me tomorrow so I hope I get the chance to see photos before I go).. Hugs
So glad you are enjoying yourself! Can't believe TOMORROW is the day!!!! Good luck! Can't wait to see MS in your arms!!! I'll be waiting for your next post!
We are glued to the blog as well! I even reactivated my FB account just in case you put pictures there first! I am praying tomorrow will be easier on Mei Sims than anything you have imagined because God has gone before you to prepare her. God bless your family, Rushton! Can't wait for midnight tonight!
Praying for you! No idea how you slept!
