One week & 6 days until I leave to meet Jackson! I've packed, re-packed, and re-packed again! I'll have 1 large suitcase (which at this time weighs 59lbs!), 1 large duffle bag (weight unknown), the camera / camcorder bag, and a diaper bag backpack! I'll be gone 43 days (oh my!), and greet 2005 with my new son! I'll post one more time before I leave (on DEC. 7th), and then hope to begin posting daily starting on the 10th or 11th of December.Thanks again to all of my friends & family who have been so supportive during this time. Not everyone is able to grasp the idea of a single mother adopting a child, so for those of you who have supported me, -- I thank you -- it means the world to me.
