LEAVING UKRAINE!

It is 12:05 AM on Friday, June 1st  in the US. It is 9:05 AM on Friday in Ukraine. Kevin, Sergei and Maksym catch their first flight out of Ukraine in 40 Mins. I am sick (with excitement and stress)! Pray hard that they make all their flights which are all stand-by.

A little Delta employee angel ,who does not love the spotlight, but who I can't let go unmentioned, listened to a little voice who prompted him to call my Dad. He called out of the blue to see, if for some reason, he needed FOUR Delta standby ticket...anywhere. He has put in HOURS of time and energy to make sure every flight plan goes as smooth as possible. His kindness and support saved us thousands...literally thousands, in flight cost. He has held our hand and  has given us great advice along the way. I have taken his repeated advice and am asking you to do the same, please pray for a safe trip for all three of my boys....lets get them home!
(I am sure Kevin is rolling his eyes because I don't know what kind of airplane they are on and just used some google stock footage...love that man!)

6/1/2012 Depart 9:40   AM Kiev, Ukraine

6/1/2012 Depart 11:30 AM Amsterdam - cutting it close I know....the boys can't get stuck here because Max and Sergei cannot leave ANY airport without a VISA. A 6 year year old and a 14 year old having a slumber party with their Dad in an airport terminal sounds fun for a Pre-teen movie but in real life, it would be a horror movie, yes there would be dead bodies.

6/1/2012 Arrive 3:40 PM St. Paul, MN.  Stay the night and get much needed wriggle and sleep time. Sweet Veronica will pick the boys up from the airport and will use her sweet Russian-speaking skills to let everyone vent about the last 12 hours on an airplane. THANK YOU!!!

06/02/2012 Depart 2:25 PM St. Paul, MN - After a much needed rest and wiggle room...

06/02/2012 ARRIVE 4:20 PM , Flight #2029
IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH U.S.A.

Shut the front door....it is my 34th birthday to boot!
See you all at the airport if you are up to it, we will be in hibernation mode after that.
XOXOXOXO
