Yesterday I had the wonderful chance to take the girls and go see Kerry and Victoria come home from Ukraine. Kerry and I, if you remember, became quite good friends during the hosting program. They never actually hosted, but fell in love with Victoria anyway. Just as a side note, SAC wanted to take Ira away from us (for the program) to let them have a chance to host. After praying about it I told them no, although I'm sure they could have if they'd really wanted to. LOL Kerry and I tended to confuse people a lot since they thought she was me and the other way around. I guess we should have been sisters! :)
Anyway, her blog has the most amazing pictures and very nice posts. It's been quite the journey for them since Victoria turned 16 before they could get over there, which meant different paperwork for them and such. Her's was a pretty quick time frame in Ukraine, which was really good since she left her 3 boys here in the states while she was there.
Here are some pictures I took. :)

What a fun afternoon!
In other news, I got my Rosetta Stone Russian program yesterday and am dying to try it out! I'm hoping it's not too hard to learn, but we will see. I've never learned a 2nd spoken language before so I've never had to worry about how I say things. LOL I'm excited to try and talk to my friends over there though. :)
I also got to Skype with Masha again. Man, I miss her. :( I'm always homesick for Ukraine after I talk with her. It was so fun to see her though and I even got to meet her mom! That was awesome. :) Now I just need to go back so I can give her a hug. LOL Hopefully soon.
