First of all, notice that this is the first blog entry that we’ve had in months. That’s because we’ve had nothing to say. We’ve just been waiting and waiting and waiting!!!
Okay, now…. picture this! Today, I’m at the salon getting my hair colored. My stylist and friend, Lindy, has just finished globbing my hair and he sent me over to have a seat while I wait my 20 minutes. Not a pretty picture! I left my purse, which has my phone in it, over at his station. All of a sudden I hear my cell phone ring. How I heard it I really don’t know with all the hair dryers and talking, etc. I hurried across the room to get my phone and it’s Marilyn from CHI with THE CALL!!! So here I am with the call I’ve been waiting for with a bunch of hair dye on my head. Once I hung up the phone, I had to tell Lindy. He was so excited for us that he announced it to the whole salon. He told everyone that he felt like he had just delivered a baby! So a whole salon of people that I don’t even know found out that we’re going to Russia before Greg even knew!!!!
We’ve been waiting so long that this is almost hard to believe! We are so excited that I can’t even explain. Now we have a whole bunch of things to get done in 17 days. This will keep me busy! We’ll keep you posted. Thank you so much to all of our family and friends for your prayers and support. Keep them coming!
