Getting ready for our trip!

Well, this is a first. Carl nor I have ever created a blog - and really never thought we would. But a friend of ours in Georgia (Aimee) said a blog will be our lifeline while we are in Siberia. When Aimee and her husband adopted their son from the Ukraine, she said all the comments she and her husband received on their blog while they were overseas were a major encouragement and she highly recommended we set one up of our own. So here it is. We will do our best to post info at least once a day while we are out of the country. We sincerely ask that you go to God on our behalf while we are traveling - not only for our safety but for guidance in the decision that lies ahead of us.

And thank you SO MUCH for all that you have already done for us - calls, cards, inviting us into your home, offering to help us prepare for the trip, rides to the airport, caring for our house while we are gone - you know who you are. We just can't tell you how much this love has meant to us and we thank God for our Christian family.
