Did I ever think this day would happen?
Have I had dreams about it? Is it really happening? Truly happening?
The resounding answer is yes!
I just got off Skype with LA and Nastya and confirmed that they have completed the in country processes and are going to be homebound tomorrow. With nearly 21 hours of travel time, 3 airplane flights and two 4 hour layovers ahead of them, they are scheduled to return to Raleigh Friday night. What a joyous homecoming event and a moment I have been waiting for!
We started this part of our journey last August. As our pastor at the time so eleguently put it, we started a journey to climb that mountain and do what it took to make this day happen. It is with everyone's love, support, and prayer that this is possible.
As I prepare for their arrival tomorrow, I also prepare for the start of the rest of our lives together a family.
Will there be challenges? Yes.
Will there be obstacles to overcome? Yes.
Will there be good day and bad days? Yes.
Will there be two steps forward and one step back? Yes.
But no matter what challenges God puts before us, I know that we are surrounded with the best family, friends, and resources to overcome any obstacle. We have climbed this part of the mountain, with LA and Nastya travelling home tomorrow.
The bottom line is that we are soon going to be one family. United in one home. One forever home. As we close one chapter of this journey to Bring Nastya Home, we will start a new one. Tonight is the last night I will lay my head on the pillow at home without all my girls being with me. Pretty cool huh?
