Shopping, Organizing and More Shopping

Last weekend my mom helped me wash all Howie's clothes and then we went through everything to figure out what we still need. We thought we were being smart, but it seemed like every time we thought we had a list completed we had to make a new one. It was exhausting. After several trips to target and a few stops a long the way, I feel like I have everything we need to take with me for now. I am sure that when I get home there will be more to buy. We set clothes, toys, medicine and bottles aside to take with us. I am feeling fairly ready to bring Howie home. I am sure that when we get our G&R I will think of several other things that we need to take with us.

Now I am starting to think about what I am going to wear. I have been searching high and low for capris. I am going to look a few more places this weekend. I hope that I have better luck. I know that I have time, but I hate feeling rushed. I need a few more t-shirts and things too. Just thinking about why I need these things is making me so excited to go. I hope that we hear something soon. We are going crazy not hearing anything. I know that it may be a couple more weeks, but I also know that it could be anytime. Every time I check my email I hold my breath hoping that there is something there about Howie or his paperwork. I know it will be soon, but of course it is not soon enough.

It can be daunting to plan out what to bring, but I have found shopping for the trip to be very therapeutic. From what I can tell you Can Tho families are next in line to travel, right??? Exciting!!
