Well, we had our appointment with the Ukrainian gov't yesterday & thought that we were going to be able to get our paperwork to leave last night for K's city....of course, that didn't happen. Apparently, the lady that had to sign our papers was out all afternoon & never made it back until today. So, we picked up our papers at 3:00pm (local time) and headed south. I'm amazed that I am alive to be writing this to you. It was 4 hours of torturous driving, again with no seatbelts. Crazy!!!
Anyway, it was worth it when we arrived about an hour ago. K & her friend, along with their director, met us on the outskirts of town. Our driver followed him to his apartment, where we lugged 4 bags of our American crap up 9 flights of stairs. Yes, I said 9 flights of stairs...the elevator was broken. Thankfully, we are settled in for a while.
It was worth every ounce of lost sleep, aggrevation, crazy driving.... K was more beautiful than we remembered! She was as happy to see us as we were to see her! Now, it's time for some PB&J's for the 3 of us & then visiting with our baby! Da Zaftra! (That means...Until tomorrow.)

The elevator didn't work!!! I did those stairs one time and that was enough. I know you guys are so happy to all be together. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I might try to call the phone this weekend or maybe I'll see you on Skype. Thanks for the updates!
