I know the saying is usually "Ready or not, here we come!" but at this point we're convinced that we are READY to go.
The bags are packed and we made sure there is nothing gnarly in the fridge. We took the cat to the vet, scream-crying all the way and the dog is blissfully ignorant of what is about happen. Our living room is now nicknamed "Operation Kyrgyzstan", which is appropriate since we are taking at least 150 lbs of stuff to the other side of the world... and also since Bryan performed a minor surgery on the biggest Samsonite. The zipper kept getting stuck on the lining, so duh, what else would you use to fix it? A suture kit of course! Let me point out that this is the same suture kit that was also utilized during crib assembly!!
We are so ready to hold Caleb in our arms, to claim him as our son and to enjoy every minute that we are blessed to spend with him. We covet your prayers as we prepare for the biggest leap of faith we have ever taken. Please pray for a safe journey, wonderful bonding time with our son and for God to prepare our hearts to be parents.
We will do our best to post once we have arrived in Kyrgyzstan to let you know we made it! We cannot wait to experience our son's country and culture, and to hopefully share it all with you. Thanks for your support and prayers. Next time you hear from us we'll be 7,313 miles away in Bishkek! Kyrgyzstan, HERE WE COME!!!

Brian is "sew" handy! I was thinking it would be a duct tape story -- boy, was I surprised.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't wait to hear how everything goes!
Wow! Sending you LOTS of love and prayers for a happy & easy journey there and back.
Best wishes!!!
Hi, Hope all your flights were good. We check out of the silk road at noon. We are going to the AMGH next so give me a call if you want to get together. All you have to do is ask for Terry from the USA & they will know who you are talking about.
Take care & call me

We are so happy for you. May God bless your trip beyond imagination. I wish I could be in the room to see your face the moment you see your son and hold him in your arms for the very first time. God is with you. Love, Amber
