We had to submit three copies of our passports to be notarized and apostilled - new change in procedure over in Kaz. We sent them off this weekend and they arrived in Raleigh on Tuesday. Kristi called to check on the status and one of the two people who process those has been out of the office for 4 weeks, so one person is processing the Apostilles for all of NC. She was swamped and told Kristi she could get our back to us in a week and a half to two weeks!! After Kristi spoke with her for awhile, she determined that she may be able to get them in the mail to us tomorrow. If they are not shipped tomorrow, then there may be an outside chance we could get them before we leave the house Monday. If not, then someone must be here to pick up the package and then send it to our adoption agency so they can foward it to their people in Kaz. These are papers we will need at the end of our trip so there is time for all of this to occur and will not get in the way of our travel.
I added a link to some new friends of ours who hopefully are traveling to Kaz real soon and will be over there when we are. They will be a couple of the first families to adopt from the actual city of Almaty and not have to travel an hour and a half ouside the city to their BH. What a blessing considering the troubles they have experienced. Check out their sites to see how God is working in their lives and how His plan is unfolding for them.
Kristi and I only have one more day left of work and then we are done for 8-10 weeks!!! We can't believe we will be traveling in 4 days and see our son in 6 days!!! Please pray that we remain focused on our task of packing and get it all done before Monday. Pray for safe travel, 4 legs to the flight, and restful flight so that we are as fresh as possible to meet our son for the first time. Please pray for his continued safety and health. Pray for our friends who are waiting for LOIs and who will be traveling soon.

Thinking of you all and hope all this works out smoothly on Monday, as you travel and finally meet your little one waiting for you.
If I have figured everything close, I hope you are meeting my nephew about the same time I am writing this. I hope your first leg of the journey was safe and that all is going well. I have thought about you three a lot today. I pray for you three often and I hope everything is going smoothly. Remember to soak it all in and enjoy every moment. Things are good here and Carson is feeling better.
K & J, I love you. Baby Bell, Uncle Mike Loves and can't wait to meet you
