Alexander the Great
Standing on the bridge that goes over the Moscow River in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior
Us with Janice and Jon
This was awesome to see with our own eyes-St. Basil's Cathedral
So today we spent 7 hours touring Moscow, let's just say my shoes are definitley broken in now! We rode the Metro, which was CRAZY!! The Metro moves over 10million people per day, so today it was 10 million and 2 hicks from Pleasant View :) It was awesome to see some of these things in person that I had been looking at online for the past few months. Janice and Jon are awesome hosts, we've learned a lot about Moscow and Janice has given me some really good ideas for Hudson (like to buy a Russian cartoon dvd for him). We are going to try and get him at least 16 small gifts for his gotcha' days.
It is really starting to hit me that I will meet our son in less than 24 hours. This is the moment I have been waiting for, the moment I've dreamed about. But today I found myself thinking so often of his birthmother. I am sure we walked the same streets she has and did I stand where she had stood on the metro. Could I have passed by her. Does she know that the tears she cried the day she walked out of the hospital have brought me tears of joy. One of the hardest decisions for her has been the greatest blessing to us. I thank God for her and hope that one day I'll meet her in Glory and share the warmest embrace.
