here and alive

Hi all,
We arrived in Almaty last night at 3:00 am. We went to a really nice hotel and got about 4 hours of sleep. Could use way more then that. Anyways we are heading to the orphange city Kostanai at 2pm this afternoon. Right now it is 10:45 am Fridayand your time is 11:40 pm Thursday. Very confusing, we have been up 34 hours straight. We will be here for about 23 days and then get to go home. We have decided if we cam come up with the money, that we are going to have her escorted back home. this trip was really hard and tiring on us. i cant do this again. I know it will be worth it but for the money it is also worth having her brought to us. Well we will talk to you later. Love you Caden
Love Beckie and Brian

were off

2 hours and counting. We got all of our papers last night and now we are packing up the truck so we can leave. Wish us luck and keep us in your thoughts.
Love,
Beckie

Here we go again

We received some good news yesterday. Our agent called and said our LOI arrived and they want us to travel soon. I sent out for our visa today and booked our flight for next Wednesday. We leave Grand Rapids at 1:54 p.m. We are hoping to be back on Dec 29Th. I will try to keep everyone posted. Will write later

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Just wanted to write to say Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We went over to Brian's sister's house for the day. She made a wonderful meal and we got to visit for awhile. After that we went to Grandma Symon's for dessert and to visit. Caden had a big day and did wonderful. We think he may be coming down with another cold. He was without one for about 3 weeks, gotta love winter. Anyways no new news on the adoption and everything else is going good. Talk to you soon. Have a good weekend all.

Love Beckie

update (if you want to call it that)

I would like to be writing with an update but frankly i don't have one. I have been trying to get answers for days now and the agent is not calling me back. They told us the country would like us to travel at the end of October but that has not happened. Sometimes the wait can be so hard. Everyday i check my emails at least 20 times just in case we get the call. I know the day will come and i have to be patient but those of you who really know me, knows i don't have the best patience for waiting. So there's my update, still nothing. Anyways for those of you who know are family we are losing more family members from this state of ours. My Aunt Mary and her family are moving to Florida at the end of the month. It really sucks that they have to move but we all have to do things to keep going. I have talked to uncle Todd last week they are doing good in the Dominican. Anyways i just wanted to post to let everyone know what is going on. keep looking i will eventually post some good news, only god knows when. Keep us in your thoughts.
Love Me
