The End - For Now

The End --- For Now.

We visited with Lauren for the final time Friday night for a couple of hours. It was difficult to walk away. The next few weeks will feel like an eternity.
Saturday morning our flight leaves from Ust-Kamenogorsk to Almaty. Then Sunday morning at 4 AM our flight leave from Almaty to Amsterdam. After a 6 hour lay-over in Amsterdam we'll head out for Seattle. We'll arrive in Seattle at 1 PM in the afternoon .... and it will still be Sunday. With the time difference Sunday will be a 37 hour day for us. We are looking forward to being home --- but we are eagerly waiting for the time when we'll have Lauren home with us and all this will be behind us. It will be wonderful to have her at home.
