Welcome to America!

Sophia went to sleep a little before 9 last night and she did not get up until 11 this morning! Now she's sleeping again. She is doing really well considering what we just went through. :) I went to sleep around 9:30, but woke at 1:30 and was up until about 3. I started to read "The Secret Garden" which I have not read since I was a kid. Very enjoyable! Then I slept the rest of the night and took a little nap this morning.

Sophia, Grandma, and I went to Target! Wooo hooo! Target was always one of my favorite stores, but it's even more now since not having anything quite like it in NZ. I was just so excited and my mom was cracking up at me. I found some shoes for the wedding which were a good price and I'll be able to wear them again. Since my suitcase has still not arrived I also purchased some underwear. But then I just started throwing things in the cart because everything is so much cheaper! I got some tights and socks and stationary and I could have gone on and on, but I thought I would wait. The check out guy asked how I was doing today and I told him I was just really happy to be here because everything was such a good deal. He thought I was pretty funny too. I'll head back some day without Sophia to do some clothes shopping for myself and Travis. I'll get to do lots of shopping if my suitcase never arrives. But I would prefer to get my suitcase.

We also visited Sophia's Great-Grandma today for a little while. She was happy to see Sophia and how much she has grown. The last time she saw her in person she was only 1 month old.

Oh, a little more on the lack of suitcase. I left my planner with all my phone numbers in my suitcase, so if anyone isn't getting a call from me, that's why, so call me at my parent's house. Beckie was over today and was able to go and scrounge some clothes together for Sophia and me so I am now showered and in clean clothes! Yay! Although, my hair is looking pretty crazy because my hair gel is also in my suitcase. At least I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and I can get some more gel there! I think God is still trying to teach me patience. Please pray for my suitcase to arrive soon. Thanks!
