We booked our flight to Romania yesterday! We are officially leaving on December 17! Only 17 days until I am back on my way to Romania. I can't even begin to explain how overjoyed I am that this is finally coming true. Yesterday my granny and I went out Black Friday shopping and ended up buying more for the children than for us! We purchased booties with non skid soles, long sleeve onesies, and zip up fleece jackets. I love buying stuff for the kids and can't wait to see their reactions to all of our gifts of toys and clothes. I have never been away from my family on Christmas, so this will be a new thing. But I am completely overjoyed to know that I will be making a difference in the lives of these children.
More updates to come! :)

Return to Romania
Many of you already know, but my mother and I have planned a return trip to Romania to see our babies once again. I have organized many fundraisers all with my loving friends and family's help to get us back. The total trip cost is about $10,000 for me and my mom both to go for two weeks. We are planning to leave December 18 or 19 and return home around January 4.. We will be spending Christmas with each other in Romania along with another return volunteer Jane. We are really excited to return and I wanted to thank each and every person who has helped us get back. Whether you made a donation of $300 or $3 or just gave us a simple prayer, you helped me and my mom get back to the place we both feel is a piece of us.
For those of you who do not know...
My mother and I went on my first trip out of the country in 2011 to work in a Romanian Children's Home for 3 weeks. All of the children we worked with were special needs in some way. The children are placed in the hospital either because their parents could not properly care for them, or they were abandoned at birth. These children have either physical disabilities or mental delays. I fell in love with these children in 2011 and miss them every day I have been gone.
If you have any questions, please comment below or message me or my mom on Facebook.
If you wish to donate please visit http://www.gofundme.com/4guyac and check out our page.
My mom also has a blog that she will probably update more than me... www.rockinbabiesromania.blogspot.com
I hope all of you continue to support us in our travel planning. Please spread the word and prayers!
Love,
