One Week Until We're Off!

Scott and I have been working like crazy! I can't wait to slow down enough to actually see him. I have my usual school work along with interims and making sub plans for 5 days. I'm super excited that I have a great sub taking over for me. I never like to leave my classroom and they will be in great hands!

This weekend our research begins for questions to ask about this 3 and half year old little sweetie. We have to be prepared with questions, toys, and a few fun food items for the little guy. I also need to pack a suitcase for Luke because he'll be staying with friends while we're away. He's super excited about spending the week with them and that is such a blessing. I wouldn't want him to be sad and we know that he's in good hands.

Gotta go add a few items to my list and do some research!

We have a referral!

About a week ago we were given a referral of a little boy! We were a little shocked to find out that he is only 3 years old. We were hoping for a 5-6 year old boy and we had to think quite a bit before making our decision. We decided to go forward and visit him. This time around, our adoption process is going so quickly. The referral came faster than we thought and now we already have our travel date!

It's going to be an exciting trip because we get to fly through Korea. I get to check another country off of my list. We're checking for short tours that get us a little taste of Seoul. We have less than 24 hours in the country and I hope to get to a few temples and market areas.

So, our heads are swimming with so much to do. We have our visas being processed, ticket reservations for our flight, and now we're searching for a hotel in Vladivostok. We'll be staying there for a week and getting a chance to meet with this boy and see if he's a good fit for our family.
We appreciate any prayers because this is always a tiring process with so much to accomplish in such a short time.
