Too Long Between Posts

It has been way too long since my last post! When we got home, I initially intended to write about one day of our trip everyday. Well....we've been home 3 weeks & I've only written about the first few days! Ah!! The reason....things have been extremely busy! I told Troy yesterday that I'm convinced we have fewer hours in a day since coming back from Russia. Not only do we have a TON of paperwork that we're trying to hurry up and get ready, but our daily activities seem to continue no matter what! LOL This week Troy & I celebrated our 9th anniversary, one of my dearest friends gave birth to her fifth child and we attended a gala for the pregnancy center our church supports. (Did I mention that all of that happened in one day?) On a side note, I found a small Russian food market here in San Antonio. I went there today for the first time. The owner, Sasha, and I talked for about 20 minutes. It turns out that she worked in an orphanage in Russia for 19 years! It was so great to get to talk to her! By the end of our conversation, we were both in tears. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish up the last few days of our trip!
