First off, I just want to say that there is a small place in Hell for people that sit around and make up viruses for the flippin' computer. I was looking up the meaning of Chinese colors so I could print out a letter to Claire's birth mother on paper that was appropriate and we got a massive virus/spyware on our home PC. To say that we were ticked about this is an understatement. Our home PC is totally infected and pretty much useless. Needless to say I have tons of info on there that I need. The letter that I spent hours on is on there. Since I don't know how to hook up the laptop to the printer I will hand write a letter to her birth mother.
Okay onto more pleasant issues. WE ONLY HAVE ONE MORE WAKE UP UNTIL WE LEAVE FOR TAIWAN. I cannot believe that we are finally at this point. For so long I've watched so many other people at this point and wondered if we would ever be those people. And now here we are. I know that I'm going to be a blubbering mess as soon as we approach Taiwan. Jon was like "yeah, you know how you get when you cry hard, you're gonna be all snotty". Thanks Jon. Yes I will be all blubbery and snotty. I'm going to try not to be all heaving crying when we meet Claire, because I don't want to scare her. We'll see though. Don't know if I'll post tomorrow. If I don't....you probably won't hear from us until Saturday. See ya on the other side of the world!!
