11 hours to go!

Thank you for the comments & farewells. Thanks for the support. I want to say goodbye to everybody I know.

Hey Friends & Family:
Thank you so much to those of you who stayed after church to pray for us and the children. That means more than words can express. Thanks Ginny for calling everyone to prayer and for setting up a "play place" for the kids. We drove to Tulsa this afternoon to check on my cousin, Alicia. She had gall bladder surgery. She wanted to be here to see us off tomorrow, but due to her surgery she couldn't. So we went to her for a SHORT visit. Then came home, made one last trip to Wal-Mart, Scott wanted some craisins (cranberry raisins) and some gum for the trip. Then we ate of "last supper" at Ted's. A few friends joined us and we had a great time. Any of you adopting again, I promise we'll take you out to dinner the night before you leave. It was so great to hang out and not be at home just counting down the hours. Speaking of counting down the hours...

We have exactly 11 hours to go until our plane takes off. Scott's parents are coming early to eat breakfast with us and take us to the airport. We will be there around 9:00 am since our plane leaves at 10:54 and we have to get there about 2 hours ahead of time. Right now, we are just putting the finishing touches on our carryons and trying to make sure we have all of our ducks in a row. It seems totally UNREAL that we are finally to this point. We have waited so long for this, I guess in a weird way, we got used to the waiting. We were just stuck there and it seemed "normal". Now here we are...about to see these little people with whom God has called us to be a family. WOW!!!! This is so cool. Well I better get off here. Have a good night and the next time we talk to you, we'll be on the other side of the world. Love ya! Kayla

Well it is only 11 hours until take off and we'll finally be headed to Ukraine. We are so excited to meet our new family members, although that may not be for another week yet. Thanks to all of you who are praying for us and for all of the helpful hands and hearts. I know God is with us and that is great because where would we be without Him. I am also looking forward to our jouney and I'm glad that all of you can join us through this web site. Talk to you soon from Ukraine.
