We received our tentative travel dates today! We are scheduled to leave November 18!!! We still can't book our tickets yet but according to our agency, they hope to confirm our travel dates by the end of this week. Since our travel will fall the week of Thanksgiving, they are requesting that our travel group's paperwork be expedited which could mean that we will arrive home sooner than we expected....please pray about this!
The second blessing came in the form of an e-mail from another adoptive mother, Karen Hutcheson, who will also be in our travel group. They are leaving on the 18th from.....drum roll.........NASHVILLE! This is awesome! We are using the same travel agency, so our flight itineraries are IDENTICAL - how cool is that! On top of that, the travel agency is trying to book our seats together! We will travel each leg of this trip together! Just this past weekend, Jason asked me if any other family would be leaving from Nashville and I said no because I didn't think about the Hutchesons flying-out from Nashville. Jason and I have been praying that we would be able to share this trip with another family and once again, God answered our prayers!
When we traveled to Ukraine in November 2007, we met a couple, the Daniels, in the Nashville airport and together we flew half-way across the world. The Daniels are actually headed back to Ukraine on November 6th or 7th to complete their 2nd adoption, so pray for them too!
I am just so excited this afternoon! I just looked towards Heaven and exclaimed, "Wow!" Our God has been busy today answering my prayers!
