3 more wake-ups

Woke up this morning and began to work. Ran errands, cleaned, and for the most part finished packing. Completed the paperwork and organized it in files to bring along with us. Our dear friend Kimmie who went thru this a few years ago suggested that we scan all of the paperwork and keep it on a flashdrive. Thanks Kimmie we are gonna work on that tomorrow.
Jess and I received a wonderful phone call from a couple in San Diego who adopted twins from the Ukraine about 4 years ago. This was a neat story, one of those totally "meant to be" situations. I placed a woman on a job over a year ago, come to find out that her brother and sister-in-law adopted from the Ukraine, and they used the same agency we are using based out of Seattle Washington.Total cowinkidinki! Anyways they called to share their story with both Jess and I. They had an amazing positive experience, it was exactly what we needed to hear. They gave us even more confidence in our team and reassured us that we are in great hands with our Ukrainian team. We are so grateful for their time, knowledge, information, and support. Thanks Ron and Dianne!
Ending this evening with spokoynow nochi...goodnight!

Hey you two...been thinking about you all weekend and can barely imagine the gamut of emotions you must be experiencing. I had to laugh when you described the things running through your head...Ron and I are in the process of adopting a little dog and it is stressing the heck out of me!!! It pales in comparison to the journey ahead of you. We are so happy and excited for you and your family-to-be. The community of love that surrounds you is what life is all about.
