I will never be able to express the relief and gratitude I felt when I came home and saw this:
and some friends hiding amidst the bounty of love from a whole lot of amazing people.
Now, I have to admit that we did know something was going on because in the Moscow airport we read a comment someone had made on a photo and then saw 5 other photos of cute t-shirts. I realized that people were helping us out and I turned to Mike with tears in my eyes and then he started crying. We had just had a horrible few hours struggling to get through to the travel agent and the apartment rental place. I was feeling overwhelmed and a little defeated. Seeing the picture of the I Love my Mommy shirt and other cute clothes made me calm down and feel better.
You all will never be able to understand how much this means to me. I have 8 more days here and they are going to be a lot less stressful than I imagined. I have gone through everything and it is all wonderful and perfect.
The trip is now over and it won't be long until the third trip is upon me and then HOME!
Jessa, I am just thrilled for you!! I have wanted to comment several times on your blog (but I've been reading it on my ipod & for some reason I can't leave comments from it). I think of you often & am so excited for you! In a separate comment, today I was sorting through old boxes of stuff & I found a laminated card that you made for me one Christmas with my name written over & over, in a circle in different colours of ink. I remembered it but wasn't sure where it came from until I saw your name mixed in with the Heathers :) haha
ReplyDeleteLook, a baby shower on your front step! If I was close enough, I would have been in there like flynn! I am so pleased for you. You deserve every little bit of love and support you have received. Congratulations to you both.
