WE GOT OUR DATE!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  The day I have been waiting for is finally here!!!!!  We got our date :)  It is September 25!!!!!  The day before my b-day!!  I was really not expecting it to arrive today.  I know that some letters were arriving to families UPS so when the doorbell rang, my heart started to race......when I looked out the window and saw the "big brown truck", I almost fainted!  I opened the door and saw a box......not a document....a BOX that said NASCAR on it.  My heart sank.  I told the man thank you and as I was closing the door he said "Oh, Mam, there is a letter under the box too".  He must have thought I was crazy, I almost dropped the box as I looked to see who the letter was from.  When I read that it said "State Dept. for Adoption" I stared jumping up and down and pretty much shut the door in his face...poor guy :)  When I got inside, I ripped the letter open and saw the date!  I just started to cry, laugh, and told the Lord thank you atleast a hundred times.  So, thank you all for your prayers!!!! 

So, now the crazyness begins........time to start going through our "Ukraine pile" that I have had in the corner of our bedroom since our March trip.  I never fully unpacked it except for clothes, but it turned into a mess since I would go through it every now and then to find certian things that I needed.   I also have a list of about 50 things that need to be taken care of before our trip.  Oh, and airline tickets, time to book those.  I am really scared now because of what is going on in London.  So, what we have decided is to fly either Delta or Aerosvit (Ukrainian Airlines) straight from New York to Ukraine.  We were going to layover in another country for a few days, but now we just feel safer going straight there. 

Gotta go,  got lots to do!!!!!!  YIPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
