Did you know that it's warmer in Uralsk than it is here? (That just seems wrong somehow.) And from our poll, it looks like we'll be in Kaz 3 days shy of 2 months. But we won't be lacking for company. On the trip over, we'll be traveling with the Reeds from Colorado and Catalina and her husband from Brooklyn, NY. Once we arrive in Almaty, we'll hook up with our Canadian blog buddies, Sara and Julian. Once in Uralsk, there's Stacey and Dave from Winnepeg and Gretchen and Greg from Bob's hometown of Chicago. Sandi (one of the Tampa Hot Mamas) leaves for Kaz on March 6th and Amy from Illinois is currently bonding beautifully with her sweet little girl Karina. Yay!!!!!
Before we go, I wanted to thank everyone for their love and support. From Mike, Nancy, Bob and Matt for loaning me the laptop, notarizing endless documents and allowing me this time off to my good friend Suzanne P (who's paying bills and acting as our POA) to Noah watching our fur kids to Rochelle for organizing a welcome home greeting to all my blog buddies who've given me great advice and tons of encouragement to FINALLY my supportive husband who's crazy enough to do this dad thing all over again. I love you honey.
Please continue to send your comments—you don't know how much it means to us.
Bon voyage. Next time we talk we'll be halfway around the world. Imagine that.

I can't believe you guys are finally going! It's surreal when our blog buddies actually get on that plane. I'm so happy for you and cannot wait till you meet your child!
Wonderful news on your traveling and even better is that you will have a lot of "friends" with you on this journey to a very far away place. What a blessing it is that you will all have each other for support, strenght and understanding!!

The journey of a lifetime.. have fun and be safe.
Have a wonderful trip! We look forward to meeting you and will sit tight until we hear from you on or before Sunday in Almaty.

Blessing and good 'thots' to you.
Let go and let it happen!!
Have a wonderful trip! It is a beautiful time of the year to go - not too hot and not too cold. And, while it does seem that a fast trip is no longer a possiblity, you'll have a great time cherishing every moment and bring back lots of memories and your forever child. Can't wait to follow along!
Be safe, my friend, and enjoy the journey of a lifetime!
