Celebrating Meeting Our Girls Just Five Years Ago!

UPDATED to include day TWO, July 13, of our first trip!

You know, it's funny, I've been planning and hoping to journal and/or scrapbook our adoption story for the past five years, but as it turns out I'm apparently going to "blog" it! Who would of thought it? :-)

July 8, 2007 marks the fifth anniversary of probably the most exciting and stressful 11 days of my entire life, because THAT is the day I received the call from our adoption agency telling us when we'd be able to meet our soon-to-be daughters! Just four short days after that phone call John and I were in Russia!

I plan to post a daily entry here using the actual date--for the sake of historic accuracy--through July 18 when we returned from our whirlwind FIRST trip to Russia to meet our girls and commit to adopting them. To make it easy for you, I'll provide the links below so you won't have to go searching the archives!
