THE CALL!

Where in China is Grace?

You might be wondering where Grace is in China?



Above is a map of China. Grace is in Nanning, Guangxi. This is in southern China near Vietnam.

Here is a more up-close map of the Province:



And here is a composite of where Grace is right now showing Nanning (the provincial capitol city).




And to be more accurate:
Here is a map of the Guangxi province showing where the SWIs are located. The approximate location of the Beiliu SWI is by Yulin about 150 miles east of Nanning (the provincial capitol city).

THE DAY OF "THE CALL"

Today's the day!

In just about 2 hours we will get the call from CCAI with Grace's picture and information.

Phuong only slept about 2 hours last night. I on the other hand had a big headache and decided to try and sleep. I slept the whole night!

This morning we have been getting ready for work as normal. Well...almost as normal.

I have been busy setting up the computer, web cam, updating and reading the yahoo groups and of course updating the blog.

Almost time...almost time...:)

Now we play the waiting game!

Waiting for the "the call"

A little change of plans. Phuong and I will be going to work late tomorrow as I found out that there is a good possibility that we could get "the call" in the morning around 9 AM.

I have a splitting headache right now so I should probably try to sleep.

I have never been so anxious for the morning to arrive :)

REFERRALS ARE IN!!!!!!

OK...the referrals have arrived at CCAI today. They said that the calls are going to go out tomorrow! I will probably go home right after work tomorrow and not go to class. It's game day tomorrow for the kids so not too much is happening.

We are going to see our Grace for the very first time tomorrow! It's so hard to comprehend. I can hardly concentrate right now.
