Timing is everything

Even though our paperwork is in order and Ellie has it all ready to go, she's waiting to submit until some firm dates from the currently submitted families came back. Now that the Keller family has a date to travel, we know the time line from SDA submission to SDA appointment is around 1 month. Ellie is timing the submission so that we are in Ukraine whenYuliya becomes available. That leaves us more time to keep stashing a few more pennies away into savings and getting rooms all ready. I will be a little envious when I start seeing blogs being updated with stories and pictures from Ukraine as we wait, so expect a barrage of comments if this is you. :)

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. So to my sweetheart Carrie: Thank you for your maternal vision and faith that opened up a chapter of our lives that ends when we finally have our daughter. I love you forever!

I love all your comments : ) Keep them coming!! I'm sorry I didn't go into more details on the blog about our news, but I was in a state of shock that night! The adrenalin was pumping and I had to blog a couple other things before I put the NEWS on and I had to get the NEWS on that night!!! And my brain was just racing with alllllll the arrangements we had to get in order in the next two weeks. I was a little insane that night and couldn't think straight. And I had to pick family up from the airport... I think I'm going to be a little insane then next two weeks ; ) It's so exciting to think you'll be able to go as soon as Yuliya is available! Wonderful!!
