We have arrived!

We made it! Although the flights were long and we are exhausted, we arrived with all of our baggage, and without incident.

Toni and her brother Marty met us at the airport and dropped us off at the hotel where we showered and napped. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around Sofia enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city.





How I have missed Bulgaria and how excited I am to be able to share this experience with my husband this time around! Tomorrow morning we will have the opportunity to attend a small branch of our church. We are really looking forward to spending time with the wonderful church members/missionaries here in Sofia.

Tomorrow afternoon we will leave for Stara Zagora and on Monday we will begin our visits with Ladybug #3 and get to see sweet Lily (though, she will remain at the orphanage until Friday at her director's requesst). I cannot wait to see my girls again (and introduce them to their daddy)!

Thank you all for your prayers of safety and success! They are all felt and greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned my friends. . . .the best is yet to come!
