TRIP BACK TO THE US

TRIP BACK TO THE US

I woke up at 4:00am, I could not sleep, and I was desperate to head back home. We were also sad to have to leave Antonina, but sadly, the only thing we can do is pray for a quick return. We thought we were going to be able to have breakfast, but unfortunately, we were picked up before the restaurant opened for breakfast. We were picked up by our coordinator, it was really cold and it had snowed the night before. Mauri and I felt asleep right after we got into the main road heading to Moscow. All of the sudden, it started to snow really badly, I started to pray for safe arrival to the airport. We encountered at least 10 accidents on the way to the airport, it was kind of scary to see soo many accidents along the way. Then, we started to get concerned that our flight was going to be delayed because it was snowing pretty badly. Finally, after 3 ½ hours we arrived to the airport, we said our thanks and our goodbyes to Alexey. We then headed into checking in and let me tell you that the Domodedovo airport is different to what I have ever seen in terms of security. Thank God we were able to go through all the hurdles without any major challenges. Our flight was delayed over an hour and I am now blogging from the plane. I am trying to catch up with posting in the blog, since I had not been able to do it during the last 2 days. We were lucky that we were receiving internet signal in our room, but for some reason, we did not get a strong signal during the past two days. Our plane landed in Chicago, at the O’Hare airport. We went through Immigration and Customs without a problem (Thank God). We then took the little train to concourse 3, so we could then take our flight to Miami. We had some dinner while still at the airport; we had not realized that it was still Valentine’s Day, so we wished each other a Happy V Day. By the way, Happy Valentine’s Day (even if belated) to all my wonderful friends and family). Our flight to Miami was completely sold out. As always, it was delayed a little. Finally, we boarded and as soon it took off, Mauri and I dozed off. We woke up about a ½ an hour before we landed. Thank God we arrived home safe and sound; we do miss our little girl. Things seem different around the house (even though nothing has moved). I think it’s because now we have met our little princess, and now we can relate her little face with things in the nursery and around the house over all. We pray to God that we will be able to come up with all the new paperwork that the judge it’s going to request, more specifically being able to find a Psychiatrist that will be willing to provide us with the paperwork we need. Please continue to pray for us. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support, and please continue to leave your comments. It makes my day every time I see that one of you left a comment. I will keep you posted…..
