I have spent the morning pacing outside Garrett and Jordan's room waiting for them to get up. We still cannot believe that we will be in Russia yet again. We have a long run planned for this morning. Chris has an entire plan in place that is to gaurentee sleep on the long first leg. We have our ritual Bloody Mary's at the airport before boarding... then who knows. Funny to do something like this often enough that you actually have a ritual for flying to Russia.
We had a wonderful "last meal" as I call it because ordering over there is somewhat challenging to me. I have not had Borscht soup long enough that I am actually looking forward to having it again.
Jordan and I had a girls night last night. For those of you that know Jordan know that this is a big deal. Jordan is very far from girly. She wanted me to paint her finger and toe nails. In return, she painted my toe nails and now I seem to have two club feel... fused together with Pistol Packing Pink OPI nail polish. Hours later she kept coming over to me and blowing on them for perfection. It is an odd sensation not to be able to wiggle your toes. She thought it would be "cool" for me to wear this huge ring she pulled from the treasure box at camp this past week. It looks like a sea creature and she has already told me that she can't wait to see the pictures of it in Russia. I will be the envy of all.
You appreciate the moments at home right now... but as of 3:15 this afternoon, we will be taking off and heading east. When we went to get Jordan we actually flew over a hurricane heading for Florida. It is nice knowing that Gram and Coach won't have to weather anything like that this time. They will have their own hurricane to deal with right here... in the form of a grandson. We are ready for anything with this new baby girl.
We can't wait to get there...
