Thank you all for your kind comments and congratulations! I think you all are even more excited than me! That's okay.... I'll get there...once I'm on the plane. For now, there is so much too do and I vascilate between a sense of awe and peace and being scared half to death!

I'm dealing with everything well though! Even before we got the call with travel dates, I decided to take a mini-break to Florida to visit my folks. Only for a couple of days, but it comes at a great time. No committments on the football front and Chris has a HUGE project due. So this week he will be working long hours... Poor guy! But at least he won't have to worry about balancing work and family and football coaching. :-)

I'll be trying to get organzied with my parents help while away... looking for luggage and getting lists ready for our trip. Our ds2 has a birthday coming up, so I'll be planning for that as well... it's going to be a crazy few weeks that's for sure!

I know how you feel. I was thrilled but there was so much to do that I felt like I couldn't get way over excited because I had to get everything done. I'm glad you are taking a break to visit your parents. Everyone needs a break and it comes at a great time since things are going to get very very busy soon!

Isn't it so exciting once it all settles in. I remember thinking that I had dreamed the call. You wait so long and then it just happens out of nowhere.

Glad you have things to do to keep busy as you plan for your trip to Russia. I'm so excited and cannot wait to follow your journey to Russia!

It is so great to get the call, and then you think "I have so much to do!" It is great though, and I know that everything will come together very well. Just take it one day at a time. I was so like you and was just looking forward to being on the plane knowing that the paperwork was done, plans at home were taken care of, we were packed, and we were finally on our way to Russia. It will all come together, and we'll be keeping you in our prayers as you prepare for such an amazing trip to meet your little ones!
