to experience life.
We're sitting in a hotel in Bangkok after sitting in a taxi and crossing a border and sitting in a van and driving and waiting and driving and waiting and it's all just so exciting! The boys were rifling through their back packs to see what surprises were awaiting them even before we had left our little town. The excitement was high today for more than just having their own fidget spinners (finally.) And they're a little bit broken already - the spinners, not the boys, but the excitement has not wavered.
We're sitting at the gate ready to get on our flight after hours of travel already. We walked to a street market for dinner tonight and each chose something we liked. The boys had mango and guava with spicy chili sauce before they say goodbye to their favorite fruits for a couple of months. As we ate and walked and throughout the day we've asked Ru what he thinks of his first time in another country.
The wonder on his face as he sees a real highway and watches the ridiculous traffic and all the rest of the new that he has experienced so far is everything I have anticipated it to be and it is joyous. It goes back to years ago when the dream to take these two boys and become a family first began and I had no idea whether or not it would actually happen and if it did whether or not we would ever be able to go anywhere, but we're on our way now.
And Rain is excited that he's staying up so late tonight because he doesn't remember staying up past nine o'clock before, so it's fun to be like an adult. And Ru is excited to see the plane take off and watch the city grow smaller below us tonight, but he doesn't want us to tell him everything that's going to happen - he just wants to experience it. and really, I am so grateful that he gets this chance and that he is eager to make the most of it.
