One Year Ago and Today

Last year we were scrambling to pull everything together for our 6 week trip to Kazakhstan.

And now today we're starting the scramble all over again. This message was waiting for us tonight:

We think that Ollman can come here on April 26 and turn back to USA on May 1.

The first thing we did is ask what "think" means -- this is the answer we received:
“think” Is ‘yes’ in Bulgaria; find tickets!


So ...... whoo-hoo, yippee, alright and OH MY GOSH .......... so much to do (I've definitely been procrastinating!) and SO LITTLE TIME!

WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS...the 26th will be here before you know -- they are right, find tickets! I could not be happier for you guys! And I agree, Gabriela is a beautiful name!

As for ideas...I think the charm/necklace is a great idea or even a bracelet. A small jewelry making kit for Gabriela to make her own, might work too. The only other ideas for small gifts I had were books, a journal or diary, and chalk (do they write on sideways/driveway/road/etc there?) Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Have a wonderful and blessed Easter -- talk to you soon!

Love,
Ashley

Oh my... The only thing I can say is, "I know how wonderful you work under pressure." Please let me know what I can do. I'm very serious. I've got the time and you need the help. I'll can you soon.
