NEWS UPDATE

Ok, remember how I said my EXCITING NEWS UPDATE would be revealed soon? Well, I would have revealed it sooner if I had known the details. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS, BUT the hint that it dealt with Russia shouldn't surprise anyone that I don't have the details to reveal!
WITH THAT BEING SAID...it is a mission trip to RUSSIA!
I am waiting on details to find out where and when we would be leaving...that's when I'll make my final decision if I'm going to go or not.
(MIGHT BE THE WEEK OF OCT. 15TH)
I'm getting some negative feedback from my hubby and parents about me going. It's only going to be for a week, (maybe only 5 days) but I'm getting the sense that people think I'm crazy for leaving my kiddos and job to do this. Am I being selfish...even though I am going to deliver thousands of dollars that will specifically help orphans? Am I abandoning my kids for my own selfish passion to help other children in need? I can't wrap that around my brain, but maybe you all can give me a better insight about this.
I understand that any travel is a risk...even driving to work each day is a risk. I understand that being in a foreign country heightens some kind of a risk, but so does being at an ATM machine at night. It would be ONLY me going, not my husband or parents (whom have already said they "have it covered" to be with the kids). Jason, my husband travels with his job for weeks at a time. I actually think that 5 days with the kids, alone, would be wonderful for him...as long as he had some support from the nanas and papas.
I kind of think I need to hear from you all. What do you think?
