No way. No freaking way…
WE ARE TRAVELING AT THE END OF THE MONTH!!!! In 16 days, I will be in Ethiopia and will be meeting my son! I can hardly believe it!
Ms. IU called at about 9 p.m. and the first thing she said was "I’m sorry to call so late, I’ve mixed up my time zones." Then she told us we were confirmed in the group on the 28th and I about lost it–I started shaking and could hardly talk.
We will be leaving two weeks from tomorrow. As P would say, when he quotes SuperWhy, "Oh my peas!" (And I can’t wait to tell him in the morning!) I can’t think straight. I need to make lists of lists now.

Oh Erin – this is wonderful, wonderful news. I keep visualizing the picture you posted of your new son and now you know when you finally get to meet him. I’m so glad that the timing worked out so well for you (and the airfares as well)

Thinking of you as you are in the midst of the flurry of activity of preparing to DEPART FOR ETHIOPIA. Savor every second–the beginning of WONDERFUL is here!!!!!
And, again, delegate anything you need to delegate and put me on dinner duty any night it might be useful for you!

I am late to the comment party on this one but HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME!!
Way to go for being pushy.
As soon as I read that you were making lists of the lists you need to make I thought, “Oh wow, that reminds me,I have to make some lists too.”
Glad I’m not the only OCD list-maker out there. π
