One week from today......

In exactly one week, Harper will be ours!  It is so hard to comprehend that we are this close to finally meeting the sweet little girl that we've come to know in pictures.   I just pray the transition goes well.  It'll be rough, but I'm praying for the best.

In the meantime, we (or I should say, "I") am trying to get everything ready to be packed, the house and dogs taken care of, and a million last minute things.

I went for a check up with my dentist this morning, and they always check my blood pressure before they do anything.  Mine was a little raised -shocking!- and the hygienist asked if I thought there could be a reason for it.  She knew we were in the process of adopting, and when I told her we were leaving this week, she said to try and relax a little.  We both started laughing at how absurd that sounded.  I'm not sure that I'll be fully relaxed until we are back in the great state of Texas.

Until then,  I just keep reminding myself to breathe.
