THE DAY BEFORE

YES, IT'S OFFICIAL...IF MY VISA ARRIVES AT THE FEX EX HUB TOMORROW MORNING.
I'M GOING TO RUSSIA ON A MISSION TRIP THROUGH A FOUNDATION AFFILLIATED WITH OUR ADOPTION AGENCY.
I SWARE THAT THIS ENTIRE TRAVEL/PLANNING PROCESS WAS JUST SHY OF THE STRESS OF AN ADOPTION!
I LEAVE TOMORROW (SATURDAY) AND WILL ARRIVE IN MOSCOW ON THE 2ND. THE 3RD WILL BE A FULL DAY OF SIGHT-SEEING ADVENTURES AND THEN WILL GO TO THE TRAIN STATION THE NIGHT OF THE 3RD.
TRAIN RIDE TO KIROV.
SPENDING 2 FULL DAYS AT 2 DIFFERENT ORPANAGES.
COME BACK TO MOSCOW FOR ANOTHER FULL DAY AND LEAVE THE MORNING OF THE 7TH.
SAY A PRAYER FOR ME AND MY KIDDOS THAT ARE GOING TO BE AT HOME WITH DADDY.
I MADE OUT THE SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK AND FOUND THAT...BASICALLY I DO JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, SO IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING, BUT VERY FUN FOR THEM.
I HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT/MIXED EMOTIONS ABOUT DOING THIS, BUT MY HEART KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO RUSSIA AND SEE THINGS WITH "DIFFERENT EYES" THE "NON-ADOPTION EYES".
I'LL POST IN RUSSIA TO KEEP YOU UPDATED.

It is such a wonderful thing you are doing!!! I will be curious to hear what it is like being there for something other than adoption!! Good luck and be safe...I am sure your little ones will be fine with daddy. Can't wait to hear more!!
All my best,
