2 Years ago today we set foot in Kazakhstan for the very first time!!!! We arrived about 1am because our plane was late. We slept a few hours, had a meeting where we signed some papers, handed over the program fees and the cost of our apartments and interpreters and we had the rest of the day free. We had Vitali drive us up the mountain to the Ski resort where they were having some mountain biking "thing" for the day! We rode up the mountainside and walked around for a while... all the while having butterflies in our stomachs because TOMORROW we will meet our Alex for the first time!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!! It feels like it was yesterday... just thinking about it i remember the feelings!!! We set my camera on a rock and took our picture up there in the mountains on the OTHER side of the world!!! I can't believe we were there... We could only imagine what the rest of our life was going to be like!
Today... this feels like old news! Little did we know we would go back!!! Now having lived in Kazakhstan for not just one, but two months of our lives, we have 2 precious boys to show for it! THAT is amazing!!! Kazakhstan is our second Homeland! I would go back in a heartbeat!
