According to the USPS, the package was delivered at 9:30 this morning. Of course that was like 8:30 PM yesterday here...I think. HOPEFULLY that means that Jiyuan/Anyssa has the backpack and has seen what we look like. One day, after she's been here for awhile, I hope she will be able to recall what this period of her life has been like and how she felt when she heard she was going to be a part of a family. I wonder what she thought when she first saw us. I hope we made a good first impression!
We are going to pick up her bed tonight. A twin set to start with. We don't know what her current sleeping arrangement is. She might just be on the floor with a pad and blanket. Someone remarked to us that she will probably feel like she just won the lottery when she gets here. Unlikely...the life she has been living these past 5 years has been her "normal"...I don't know if she even knows that a lifestyle like ours even exists. PLUS...we will be moving swiftly into Christmas. She probably has no idea who Jesus is let alone what Christmas is! January will probably be a harsh reality!!
Laura's friend Linda was here yesterday helping her come up with some design ideas for Anyssa's room. It sounds nice but we really won't know until we have the bed in place. I should have it all built by tomorrow.
