Leaving Tomorrow

I'm really going to try hard to blog A LOT during our trip. It seems that all too often we adoptive parents build up to this big moment and then completely fall off the face of the earth during "THE trip".

The problem is that my mind is going 1 million miles a second. It's like drinking 8 Mountain Dews and then trying to sit down to read. Not an easy task.

I look back at my blog entries during our first trip and I realize that I missed about 94% of everything that happened. I'm going to try harder this time. I'm also packing my video camera on my carry on (instead of the guitar). Point being: I'm hoping to post some cool videos during our trip.

Random factoid: If I'm reading things correctly, Wednesday's forecast in Novo is 77 Degrees. (Yes, that's Farenheit..... I suppose I didn't need to say that. Duh. Of coarse that's Farenheit. If that were Celcius, we'd all be dead.

Anyway, I'm thinking I need to pull out all the snow suits and pack my shorts!

Spring Break Siberia BABY!!!

Dear Horners,

I wish you safe travels and hope that you enjoy every minute of your trip! You've had a long journey to get to this point but when you return home it will be with your son Zac. I can't wait to read of your adventures in Russia. Congratulations and God Bless.

My dear kids, This is my last pre-trip note. We wish and pray for safety, peace of mind and heart, health, reliable airlines, and joy beyond all understanding. The babies here will be wonderful, well take care of, and spoiled as much as N & P and G & G can possibly spoil them. Be safe and hurry home. We love you!!!

The way you described the way you feel right now is absolutely perfect! I wish I could have worded it this way to my co-workers when I couldn't focus for days on end waiting to go back to see Owen and bring him home!!

I can't wait to see all of the videos and pictures!

OK it was like 10 degrees in Novokuznetsk when we landed on April 7th and it snowed on the 8th and 9th. What a difference!!

I will be thinking of you often and praying for an easy day in court. I can't wait to see your sweet Zac. Best Wishes!!

I like your sunny attitude, but I wonder if you may be dreaming about 70 degree weather -- my website shows the temps in the 20's - 30's for the next fews days - with snow when you arrive. I suggest you keep the winter clothes in your suitcases just in case. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=376
