Touring

I got another update from Kristy and this is what she said:

Hi Colby we got your text but we cant send pictures because that is what cost us $600 when we were in Europe. We are getting ready to leave for our tour of the Great Wall, The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square!! We can't wait!!! Please let everyone know that I said THANK YOU BIG for the prayers and well wishes, today is a MUCH better day!!!! Let them know I think it is Mommy hormones ! I will spontaneously combust into tears at any moment !! I call them my "Labor pains", but I know that is just the anticipation for our angel!!! After four and a half years it just seems surreal that we are less than 24 hours from having her in our arms!! Tell everyone how completely blessed we are feeling and that we can truly feel all of the prayers and love coming to us from across the big ocean!! We really can!!! Thank you to everyone , and when I get home I will thank each of them from the bottom of my heart!

Please let everyone know how sorry I am that the picture thing is not working but I will keep trying!

Colby you can just imagine how *&^)&(&( off I am that the pictures are not working, that was the whole point to bring our computers!!!! uggggggg

Anyway thank you for all that you are doing, everytime I check my email I have like 40 comments!!!! So I know you are doing a great job!!!

Give our love to everyone at home, tell Astrud we love and miss her bunches!

Love you, Kristy

From Colby: I just copied the email because I wanted you guys to get a faster update and for you to know that your ongoing encouragement is working!! We are still trying to figure out how to get pictures as you can see and that is why we have not posted any.

Oh dear Kristy! I LOVE your honesty and genuineness. I love how you keep it real.

Franceska is going to be one very blessed little girl with a Mama like you!

Prayers continue for your meeting and for your time in China. Although you are a bit homesick, allow the time to take it all in because when you are home, you are going to want to share those little details with your princess.

Love you and thank you for allowing us to follow your amazing journey.

It's okay to have lots of Mommy hormones raging through your body my sweet friend. Soon you will have your precious girl in your arms and the last 4 1/2 years will just disappear........what a wonderful Mommy to be so in love with your daughter already.....you will be amazing with her:)

Sherri said...

Oh my Kristy! I'm feeling the same way about the picture thing, that's just horrible they won't work for you. Myself like the rest are dying to see them. Your little Franceska is going to one BLESSED little girl for sure.

Love you and thanks for the updates...that's more updates that I'll ever seen from one of my friends in China. I got goosebumps when you said you were less then 24 hrs away from having her in your arms...yippie!! GOD BLESS you my dear friend.
Love,
Sherri

Kristy,
So glad that today is a better day for you! The wait is almost over!!! Yayyyyyy! I pray that you rest in His arms and feel His comfort, when you are having those "mommy moments". (which you are very entitled to by the way :))

Love You so very much!!!
Linda
