Ethiopia Bound

Today we head off to Indy for another great Ethiopia adventure. But this time is one that will redefine our memories of Ethiopia. This trip we are so honored to be taking Awan with us. We will be seeing Ethiopia this time through the eyes of a child, and we are so excited to have this perspective.

It seems like a dream that this trip in particular is coming true. 6 years ago Awan was only two  years old, she was sitting in her feety pjs on her bed praying her soft prayer, "Be with my sister in Africa." It was this prayer that set us on this amazing journey and that has given us so many incredible memories already! Memories of a country we never knew and now a little boy who has forever changed our life. Now we will be taking off together to finish what this prayer first started, to meet this sister! We are so excited and words will be so hard to explain our emotions because the wait has been so long! But we are finally here! We are Ethiopia Bound.

We will be updating this site as we travel and hope to share with you our experience of our trip. We love Ethiopia so much and hope we can paint a portion of the beautiful experiences we are so blessed to be apart of while we are there.

We take off early at 5 am in the morning so we are leaving for Indy this evening!  We will return Christmas Eve, God willing! LOL Praying we make it home in time for Tad's first Christmas in the USA!

Thanks for joining us as we travel this journey!
