Between jet lag and a shocking lack of sleep over about 36 hours, Kristina and I felt pretty well today despite only 6 hours last night.
We got to meet Beamlak/Amina today :) Since falling in love with her via photo since January, I felt like I already knew her...which is kind of silly. The thing is, she was exactly as I expected. Adorable and such a sweet disposition. She happily sat in my lap while we stared at her! It was totally unreal and I couldn't possibly find the words to explain what I'm feeling. Like being in shock, but good. She was bright eyed and curious and totally tolerant of all my kisses :) We were there about an hour and a half. Took pics, but can't legally post them yet. Kristina and I walked to a local Turkish restaurant for dinner and stopped for ice cream afterwards. Tomorrow morning we go sightseeing, then lunch and back to the orphanage. Pretty tired now and turning in early.
