"The Call"

Yesterday we got "The Call!"  Our agency called me at my preschool around 9:30ish!  It was amazing.  I couldn't believe it.  She said were were registered and we have an invitation to go to Russia on Sunday!  I said..."SUNDAY!"  Usually families are given two weeks notice to get everything in order.  Oh well....we'll take it!  The next hour was full of phone calls to Charles, our parents, the VISA office, and of course to the airport!  We got our airlines information all worked out.  Luckily were able to use our airline miles.  The flights were about $2000 a piece...wow!   Our Visas are applied for...now we just wait and hope we will recieve them before our flight on Sunday!  Fed Ex is amazing....thank you Fed Ex!

The day was spent sharing the information with Gracie, friends and our church family.  Gracie is excited.  She is doing well with the information of her parents leaving town.  Thank you to everyone for all your love and support.  Your prayers and thoughts are what has gotten us to this point.  God has blessed us in so many ways.  He is the reason and He is how we are going to make through this very emotional journey.  He will give us the grace we need to meet all the new challeneges and joys over the next couple of months.

Today I am working on my super long "To Do" list.  We'll get it all done!  Talk to ya later.
