Continuing Preparations

We are packing and planning! Thank God we know people that have been through this already! We bought a 29" Samsonite hardshell suitcase only to find out it won't fit into the taxis in Ukraine! We are returning that and borrowing some large duffles to take.

Food is also a concern. We have been told not to eat fresh vegetables while we are in Kiev because of the Chernoybl contamination. Kathie is a vegan and the only meat I eat is fish. We are taking energy bars and some freeze dried meals. I don't think we will starve!

We will be flying from from Richmond to dulles to Vienna to Kiev.

The unknown schedule of events is driving me nuts! Kathie keeps telling me that God has answered all of our prayers up to this point, there is no reason to believe that he won't continue to bless us as we travel. His timing for all the events to this point as been perfect! We were able to focus on the wedding without being bothered with the adoption and as soon as the wedding was over we received our appointment! I was concerned about the amount of time I needed to be off work and my supervisor and managers have been very supportive. I just need to calm down and know that God is in charge (Psalm 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God)

Hey Dave and Kath -
This is all super exciting! I can't wait to meet your boys. It was great to see you the other day - Dave, thanks for always letting Dustan borrow tools for his truck. You're the reason "Davie" is up and running! Well, and me, since I was the one rigging cinderblocks underneath the 120 lb. transmission while Dustan told me what to do. :)
