March 4, Sunday {hours away}

We took the train into our province and have arrived here at the hotel ahead of our group.  I'm glad of it too.  Gave us time to settle in, do some grocery shopping, and get prepared.
She is only hours away now.  Literally she is in a car this very moment being driven to our hotel.  This morning she was taken from the only parents she knew.  My heart breaks for her.

I'll post as soon as I can and show you all her beautiful gorgeous amazingness.
I am so ready to start this journey with her.  So very ready.  Ready to hold her and claim her as ours forever and ever.
Just ready.

I took many pics of our train journey.  In short is was wonderful!  It is so do-able.  So clean and affordable.  We all slept and so enjoyed the adventure of it.  Not to mention that it was almost a thousand dollars cheaper for our family of 4.  It was wonderful, and I hope if anyone is thinking of it, to give it a try.  I have suggestions too.  Just not a moment to write them down yet.  We definitely will do it again... like in 6 days when again we will take the overnight train to Guangzhou.

But for now... the camera, thank you gifts, and a couple toys are sitting by the door waiting... and ready to go.

She will not be without a mother tonight.  Tonight she will go to sleep surrounded by family that claim her forever a part of their own.

Only hours away.
