Here are some things I learned about Ukraine and Ukrainians:
1. They will literally run over you and say nothing.
2. Their malls are nicer than our malls.
3. They make delicious potato cakes with awesome grilled vegetables. They also make the best fresh bread I have ever tasted!
4. Women wear spiked heels and skirts when it is 20 degrees outside and ice on the ground.
5. Fur is EXTREMELY fashionable here.
6. They are very skinny because their portions are smaller and they walk everywhere.
Today was a good day. Our facilitator came today and talked to us a little more about the adoption process. Then we went to lunch at a delicious restaurant where we had potato cakes with grilled veggies. They were yummy!! We then walked to the mall in Kiev. It was REALLY nice. It was decorated really cool and themes as you walked through it. Paul and I then walked to our apartment alone bc our facilitator had to catch the subway. We did a fine job finding our way back :) Tomorrow is our appointment with the SDA. Our facilitator will be here at 7:45 am to pick us up. We will probably see Dylan Friday or Monday. We'll see. We plan on going to bed early tonight so that we will be fresh tomorrow.
Love,
Candace and Paul
Glad you guys are safe. Good luck with everything.
ReplyDeletePaul & Candace - So glad you arrived safely. Think about you every day! Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. Be safe. Hug the Little Man for me when you see him! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for you guys! I can't wait to "meet" little man (well, see his photo). Be patient with him. Adoption is a unique journey for all parties. Lots of love!
