8 days to go!

Wow! It's hard to believe it is almost time to actually get packed up and go to Ukraine to get our children. It seemed like it would never get here and now we are scrambling to get everything done. It's like home improvement central right now. Rob has put up new shelves in the office, we had some cabinets made for the game room to be able to put the pool cues safely inside and away from sticky fingers, and currently we are having the ceiling in living room fixed and painted. It even gets better than that. We are having the new kitchen floor laid next Wednesday! In between those projects is, of course, getting our things ready to pack, paying the bills ahead, putting together the photo album and painting the children's room. Since we don't know the age or gender it makes it a little difficult to do too much.

Oh, and it's Mayra's 21st birthday tomorrow so on Saturday we will go to Liberty to celebrate with her and drop the car off for the kids to get home after finals (they get out the day we leave) and then on Sunday (yes, mothers day) we will be going to get together with Crystal since we might be gone for her 21st birthday June 22. Just a few things going on here at the Casa de' Passanita or should I say Дом Passanita. Pray really really hard for us that we don't totally wig out before we even get to Ukraine. We will be completely relying on God's strength by that time (which I guess we should be anyway but the point was that we probably won't have the energy to let the flesh take over at all) and thank goodness for that because we would mess it up for sure. Aaaaaahhhh!
