The past few months we have experienced several count downs. We have finally reached the FINAL COUNT DOWN!
22 Days and we fly out of Grand Rapids. March 19 we will travel several long hours to Ethiopia. We will arrive in Ethiopia at 8:00 pm on the 20th. We will be traveling through Addis and going to Alaba. We will pick up Jibril a few days after we get there. He will be able to stay with us the rest of the trip. After a full week of events we will return to Grand Rapids on March 30 around 4:30. (specific details will follow prior to departure)
We are also very excited that my dad and stepmom will be joining us on our trip. With Dad along, we are sure to get at least 1000 pictures and great video footage. With Kathy along we will be sure to stay healthy, get some sleep, & make our connecting flights.
Over the next 22 days we will be busy working, packing, cleaning, & finishing the nursey. It feels like a long time away, but I know the time will go fast. We can't wait to bring him home to show all of you.
More details to follow.
Maybe we will post our name soon! Maybe not!
Hugs & Kisses,
Rick & Mandi

So excited for you guys, and you look familiar to me too- sheesh, typical Zeelanders trying to make a 'connection'. Have fun packing and let me know if you have any questions (not that I pretend to be an expert by any means).
