preparation

only 3 days until I fly to Russia with Mom! I am so excited, and yet there are so many things left to do! We're almost finished packing, but of course there are still more things to do/get. I'm currently working on putting together photo albums for the children we'll be hosting. Oh, and the house needs a thorough cleaning before we go....and I have to attend a job fair tomorrow....and order textbooks for next semester.....and prepare meals for those who'll be staying behind....Why is it that there seems to be so much time until you're nearly ready to go? :) these next few days will be incredibly busy, but also incredibly blessed. God has already provided for us in amazing ways that we never would have dreamed possible, and we look forward to seeing Him continue performing miracles. I'm not sure if I'll have time to post again before I leave, and it is rather uncertain whether we'll have internet connection at the sanatorium in Russia, so this may be it until I get home. *waltzes away to work on trip prep*
