Up, Up, and Away

As I sit here in the airport, the Pixar movie "UP" comes to mind. The cover of the DVD and all the promotional materials to be exact.
If you haven't seen the images, they are of an older man, a house, and little boy, and they are all rising into the sky holding onto hundreds of brilliantly colored balloons.
This image explains my life right now. Each of the balloons is a feeling, emotion, etc that is engulfing my very being.
My anxiety is up. My excitement is up. My emotions are up. My adrenaline is up. My heart is up. My readiness to be a Papa is up.
Soon...very soon...LA and I will be up. Up in the air on our way to Bring Nastya Home.
Each of those balloons carries with it the hopes and dreams of a little girl and a soon to be proud Mama and Papa. My wish is that today is just the start of something big. That our balloons can carry us through this voyage and that the brilliant colors duplicate our feelings and emotions.
Each one of you that helped us get to this point, is the giver of each of these balloons. You blew them up and gave us the hope, courage, and resources to make this happen.
So, UP UP AND AWAY we go. My prayer today is that LA and I enjoy this part of the journey and that each of you that supported us along the way are appreciated and loved in a way that words cannot describe.
