Today we started our day at 5:00 am. We are finding it difficult to sleep more than 6-7 hours. We had a decent breakfast but not a lot because of the butterflies in our stomachs. It started snowing sometime during the night. It looks pretty outside the hotel but I’m glad it didn’t snow yesterday or we would not have been able to see the Great Wall & we would have been miserable at the Forbidden City. We flew to Nanchang at about 1:30 pm & are staying at the Jiangxi Hotel. We didn’t get Aysia today. The orphanage director said no that we will get her tomorrow morning around 11:30 am & will complete our adoption tomorrow. We are kind of sad & glad. One more night of sleep hopefully & we had time to unpack before going to get her. Our room has a crib & stroller in it. It feels great walking in & knowing there she’ll be sleeping tomorrow night. It’s also kind of scary. Pray for a good transition. We’ll post photos of our room tomorrow and of Aysia.
