We heard yesterday that our cable will come in the next week or so - which means we can leave ANYTIME after that! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It is really, really, real. Really, Really, Real.
When our agency called, my sister and I were at the beach watching her husband's band play. We hugged and jumped up and down shouting Yeah!Yeah!Yeah! It was a little silly. But we are soooo excited. We got the official call on Anna's birthday. Very fitting!! We couldn't be more excited. Thanks to AIP, and a LOT of patience, we are finally going to Kaz! Thanks guys!!! :)
Just wanted to let you all know! We are leaving!!!! We can go get our baby - finally. *loud sigh*
Now comes the hard part...
1) planning for a substitute teacher for ~6 weeks
2) planning for 2 weeks at school myself - after a 5 month hiatus - not including summer! Do I remember how to teach??
3) packing
4) cleaning my house
5) sealing Maks' furniture - maybe Nana will do this when she is here babysitting the furry animal??
6) Do we own any clothes that will keep us warm in "Southern Siberia" in February??
7)..... I am sure there is more but ....
8) becoming parents after 17 years without kids. Yikes!!
I couldn't sleep last night!!

I remember she had a picture of all she packed and then discussed what was and wasn't needed.
