Feeling Much Better

First I had to take a picture of this phenominon... Fred doing dishes by hand!!!!



We have had a hard time getting ajusted to the time difference but I think I will have a hard time sleeping until I get home! Fred has no problem sleeping!!! We got to talk to the Burman Family tonight (They are another family that is adopting from the same orphange) They gave us some expectations for tomorrow which made us both feel better!!! They helped us book plane tickets so we don't have to take the train on Thursday, we will fly out Friday moring with them!!! They also were able to give us an update on Rorie (Anna), I can't wait to see her and Cole (Everett) with my own eyes!!!
K funny story when we first got here we went to the store to get food and because we had a hard time sleeping Fred ate a lot of the food we bought so we decided that when we woke up Fred would go to he store and get more food and we would hang out and take it easy in te apartment. Well Fred fell asleep at 4:30pm Ukraine time (8:30am your time) I laid down at 7:45pm (11:45am). We slept until 1:30am (5:30pm) Then we both fell alseep at 5am (9pm) thinking we would get a few hours of sleep and wake up, get food and stay awake to try and change our sleep schedule. GREAT plan right!!! That DID NOT HAPPEN!!! We slept until 4:30pm (8:30am), we woke up and freaked out because we never went to the store and Fred ate most of the food last night so Fred threw on cloths and ran to the store. Everything around here seems to close up early so we just prayed that they were still open! They were Fred got some pre-made food that was sooooo yummy! It doesn't look great but it was very good!



The dumpling and chicken were great, I tasted the sausage and it was pretty good too!
Tomorrow is our apointment and we will have lunch with the Burmans!!! Please pray everything will go well for us but even more please pray for the Burman family they are trying to adopt from the mental institution and the director doesn't seem to like the idea so pray there is a softening of her heart and that she will grant them to adopt Regan (Tori)!!!!!

  6. The plane tickets ended up being the same price as it would have cost us for the train tickets, and we save quite a few hours in the process, win win situation I think!
