Heading to Russia...one week to go

All has gone well with our meeting today with Annise. We are set to go in one week. Yes, that is correct ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, today has been the mad dash to get our 4 visas together and sent off to New York for processing. I hope we filled everything out correctly.



All in all it was a highly productive day of almost finishing E and JM's current Unit study (one day to go), filling out visa paperwork, finding someone to take care of the animals (Thank you Steph B. and kiddos), cancelling milk orders for the next two weeks, finding a travel agent (thank you, Voddie), cancelling dinner plans with dear friends (so sorry, Malynda-I can't wait to try those enchiladas when we get home) and of course calling the grandparents who are on the edge of their seats now waiting for those new pictures of their grandbabies.


I still have so many friends to call but I am hoping you are checking the blog. If you hear it first from here treat it as if I had called you...because I would have loved to call everyone I know and let them know that this day is finally here. Thank you for your support...keep checking...more to report soon but for now I am totally exhausted...signing off til tomorrow.
