5 Days til blast off . . .

This is my last week with one child. That sobering thought woke me up last night and you will be glad to know that I went right back to sleep. I decided that if I only had one week left I better get some more sleep. I remember when it was one last week with no child. How boring!!!

I lost the love of my life last week, Breaker, my 12 year old doberman. He changed my life completely. I think it is so cool how God picks something out He knows will bring you to your knees, and there you go. That will kind of give you a wake up call if you don't know that God knows and cares about every little detail of your life. It was not so much fun at the time, but I am so grateful He gave me the best dog in the entire world to love through the process, and most of all He changed me. Anyway, it is really easy to leave my world behind now for a month.

If you are wondering why I just keep posting when there is really nothing exciting to say, it is because I have to practice. Once I get to Russia all of the instructions are in Russian.
