Getting ready to go.....

This is my first post on a blog. We are leaving for Russia on June 14 to meet our new daughter. We are adopting from the region of Nizhny, Novgorod. I wanted a way to keep our family and friends up to date and let them share in our adventure and joy while we are in Russia and throughout this process. So for now, our visas are ordered (hopefully they will get here on time, but that will be another story which I hope I will not have to write about) our plane tickets are purchased, and we have a week to finish whatever else needs to be done. We are excited and a little nervous, but know that God is in control and will be with us. We appreciate all of your prayers and will love to see your comments. I will write again before we leave and try to post most days we are in Russia.
