1. We received word earlier this week that our paperwork is now in country! That means we should be receiving a travel invitation fairly soon! (It is currently being translated and we will receive our invitation when that is complete.)
2. There was a small plane crash yesterday; this plane, along with one other, are soviet-era planes (is that what you call them?) and we know that part of our journey is to be on one of these planes. Unless we choose to take a very long train ride instead. Gulp. I'm generally not a worry-wart when it comes to flying, but I've been kind of feeling icky about the short plane ride to begin with, and yesterday's crash just makes me think maybe my gut instinct is telling me "train" for a reason. I guess I need to add this to my prayer list pronto.
3. Praise God and THANK YOU everyone, because our first trip is fully funded!! I spoke with a fellow adoptive parent who has been btdt (been there, done that) with our agency and region, and based on her experience, we should easily be able to cover all of the first trip expenses and agency fees due when we travel.
More to say, and hopefully I'll have more good news soon, but for now, I've got an "only child" for the next two hours and a laundry list of things to accomplish. Have a wonderful day!
