Hi, :-)
Yep, you heard right! :-) We are leaving this Friday! Oh boy, I can't believe it! In 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will arrive in China on Sunday and then the next day we will meet Millie for the very first time. That date will be March 3rd. Less than a week!!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
We would love your prayers as we are packing, packing, packing and then flying! I am SO trying to pack as little as I can, but somehow things keep multiplying.... :-0 :-)
Also, Dan's mom (Miriam) is going on the trip with us. :-) That makes 4 of us traveling together (of course until we get Millie). We are SO grateful that mom is coming with us!!! Thanks dad for giving up mom for 14 days. :-)
bye for now,
Marna

Button holes...grrrr!! By the time you stare into Millie's face, you won't even recall the last minute frustrations of getting ready to go. Oh, Marna, you're going to be such a wonderful momma to Millie. I'm so thankful that you and yours are so tightly woven into our lives. May He give you all you need in the coming days/weeks. His supply is never empty.
I love you, dear friend.

What a great way to start the morning
We just read your blog and Marna we loved it and can just feel your excitement. MIllie is beautiful and how wonderful to know that God has put all of you together as a family. She has a wonderful big sister as well as parents and we promise to pray for you daily as you make this trip. So glad that Dans mom is going too. God is so good. We love you all and you mean so much to all of your Wash family.
Love Carol
Have a good trip! Prayed for you today. The Lord is good.

OH.MY.WORD!!! (Jenny told me about your site) and I am so excited for your family! Adoption has always been something God has placed on my heart; whether or not it will actually ever happen...but I find myself shedding tears of joy for your family...for Millie...for God, that He had this family formed (thousands of miles apart) even before time! And FINALLY, Millie can come HOME!! I will definitely be tuned in, waiting for ALL the details! And we will certainly be praying that God has gone before you all and worked out all the "little" (and big!) details! YEEEAAAHHH!! :)

Ok...just more more thing! After reading your blog, I couldn't help but go back to this website and watch every single one of the Chinese adoption story videos (for the hundrenth time!) and just thought if you had a free minute (yeah right!) you might enjoy!

...then just click on any of them under "Adoptions"...so cute!

OK, so this is your hi-tech friend's first time blogging... ever. It took you guys going to China to get me to do this. I was so glad you could come over tonight for one last meal of pizza together before you are surrounded by only oriential choices. :)
By the way, don't forget to take something marked "Made in the USA" so that you can leave it over there by "accident"... of course I don't know what you would find here in the US that was actually made here. Maybe a snickers wrapper?! See...blogging makes me ramble.
We love you guys. Can't wait to google earth your locations.
Blessings,
Chris

You are in the air headed to China...WOW!!! Been praying for you off and on all day. We all just keep looking at each other and saying, "They are REALLY on their way to China!!!" Our God is so good and so faithful and so awesome to put this small, helpless, hopeless babe into your arms. We rejoice, rejoice, rejoice with you and love you so much. Hope you get some sleep on the plane!!!!
Love,
Jen A
I was tracking your flight on the internet, watching you fly up the Canadian coast, over Alaska, then to the international date line. Then the feed died :(
Well...by now you should be off the coast of Russia zooming towards Japan. The data said you were at 34,000 ft at 600 mi/hr. Wow. Hopefully you are fast asleep and getting some much needed rest. Can't wait to hear how the trip went. We are praying often.
Blessings,
Chris (your techie friend)
Marna, Dan, Maddie, Miriam
