Today Amy and I spent all morning and some of the afternoon at an informational meeting for our upcoming trip to China. There were people there who will be going either right around Christmas (before or after, as no overseas adoption-related travel is done at Christmas). From the looks of things (and they caution us to not try to predict a travel date, but it is just so hard not to), we are going to be in the third group going over, maybe about a month between groups, based on a lot of unpredictable factors. We were told what to bring, what to expect, and met a woman who just returned from China in June (last week we met someone else who just returned in May). The excitement is building up! Our adoption agency, La Vida, has pictures of every group going over there.
On the way home, driving through fierce, but spotty thunderstorms, we went around the curve which connects the PA turnpike to the NJ turnpike, and right in front of us was a perfect rainbow, stretching from one side of the horizon to the other, a perfect unbroken arch. I've only once in my life seen a rainbow as beautiful as this. Awesome!
