Went to bed about 1ish this morning and the alarm went off at 2:15. Our flight is on time to Chicago...hope to board in about 15 minutes or so. Now we just have to pray that Chicago isn't too delayed. We'll have a 5 hour layover there.
Quote of the day (so far): As we were eating a breakfast sandwich at the airport this morning, Greg very matter-of-factly says, "You know, this is a pretty big deal." I just about choked on my sandwich and laughed for about 5 minutes straight!

Great news! I just prayed for your flight an hour ago. I was so nervous you guys wouldn't get out to Chicago on time. Keep us posted.
And yeah, I laughed out loud at Greg's statement!! :)
No sweat! God has is all planned out! :) Will be praying for traveling mercies! And yes, Greg summed it up! LOL
HUGS!

HUGE deal. Love you guys :) God is so faithful to finish the good works which He began...this has been a long time coming and I can't help but think that all Heaven is rejoicing that the "time is finally here"
Wonderful start to an AMAZING journey. I love you guys and are praying for you often. Be safe and enjoy this experience!!!
Love you,

PS-I had to reread Greg's statement a few times. So funny. But you know so many people are checking in on you, you could actually say that YOU are a big deal. Very deserving of this blessing...
I knew you wouldn't get any sleep! I wouldn't either. I'm glad the weather cooperated. Prayers for safe travels. Can't wait for pictures!
That's freakin' hilarious!! SOOOO excited for you guys!!! I feel like Kristen Wiig's character on the SNL sketch who gets so excited she jumps through the window. :-)
Can't wait to hear that you're on the other side of the world!

That is freaking hilarious!!! Leave it to Greg to say that!! I have been wondering about you guys. I hope you made it out of town and that you are able to get out of Chicago!!
Love you guys!!!

You all are in our prayers!!! We are so excited for your family and for Anna. I know you all can't wait to get to her. I agree with the other comment that Heaven is rejoicing, as are we.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
You are on your way!!! I'm so happy for you. We can totally relate to Greg's comment. It is surely a big deal. Safe travels and prayers for a smooth transition for little Anna.

I'll have to agree, Laura, that is one outstanding understatement by Greg. Very funny. Laughter is the best medicine - helps brighten up the -12 wind chill here, too. Enjoy every moment. Life's to short to freak out about all the details. We'll expect a full report on Chinese font preferences when you return.
It's worse than I thought! An hour of sleep? Oh my goodness!
I loved this post. Um, I think it's taking Greg a while to wrap his head around this. So funny!
