Our very long To Do list is almost complete. On the list today was an appointment with our pastor, Dr. James Merritt. We wanted to talk with him about our trip and have him pray with us before we leave.

Anyone who's been to our church even once knows that Dr. Merritt is a huge UGA fan. So, I had to keep my Tennessee purse hidden until after he prayed for us so that there weren't any hard feelings! Just kidding, but we did have a very nice visit with him. He gave us information on a missionary friend of his that lives in Ukraine, so hopefully we will be able to hook up with him while over there. And he prayed for our trip and for our adoption. He also talked about how he looks forward to us participating in the next parent/child dedication service once we’re back home. :)

This evening, we “installed” the car seat in my car. Who knew you had to have an engineering degree to know how to do this? But in the end, we completed the task and it isn’t going anywhere! Did you notice? It's a perfect match to the car's interior. No, that was no accident. Zack picked it out, and the color was a very important part of the decision.

Now we’re sitting around, waiting for the doorbell to start ringing. The trick-or-treaters will be coming by soon. The candy is sitting by the door, and the jack-o-lantern is lit. Okay, it’s a store bought plug-in – we’ll do the real thing next year! And speaking of next year – this time next year, we’ll be busy putting the finishing touches on our little one’s costume. How cool is that?!?

5 Days!!
