Visas have arrived

I don't think there has ever been a time that I've anxiously waited to hear our dogs barking.  Today was one of those days.  I was waiting for FedEx.  Finally, they arrived at 2:30 with our visas.

It is real.

I hate rollercoasters!

Well, it has been over a year since I last posted.  I have updated in the side bar, but nothing here.

It has been a very emotional year full of many ups and downs.  I was starting to wonder if it was just going to be downs.  Finally, we started to making the upward progress.

Last week the Bakers came to California.  I think they brought positive vibes with them because the day that they arrived, we got the great news.  There was a little girl waiting for us.

I opened up the e-mail.  When Robert saw it, he fell in love.  She is absolutely adorable.  I sent everything to the doctor.  On August 1st, we were at Universal Citywalk with the Bakers. .    The doctor called.  She said that this was the referral she liked to see.  She said that after everything we had been through, it was worth it.

They want us in Vladivostok on the 15th so we will be leaving the 13th.  We are going to be taking Neil.  He'll be missing the first two days of school and I will be missing the first four, but that's fine.
We registered for three day processed visas.

Today was the pre travel meeting.  We are getting excited.  This is really happening.
