I (annie) am officially graduating this weekend from Dominican College with my Master's in Occupational Therapy. It has definitely been a long and hard journey, and I still have 5 more weeks of my internship left, but I am very excited about celebrating this weekend!
What I am thankful for:
1. Making it through graduate school with NO debt- Thank God!
2. Officially being able to move on with our lives and have more freedom to serve God.
3. A very encouraging and supportive husband (with a degree in English) who proofread all of my papers.
Hopefully, if our camera cooperates, we will have pics to post!

Here we are.
Picture of us standing on the pedestrian bridge that spans the river in Uzhgorod, Ukraine.
Slowly getting ready for departure...
Nothing too major has taken place since our trip to the Ukrainian Consulate, but we have been moving along, doing little things to get ready for our departure:
1. Had our visa pictures taken at Staples at the Newburgh Mall (not bad, $7 for 2 pics)
2. Visited 3 storage facilities near our penthouse to get their rates and see how much room we might need to store our things in while we are gone. (Ruled out one place that was closest to us secondary to creepiness)
2.5 Beginning to decide what we will take and what we will leave behind.
3. Finished our first official newsletter to send out to friends and family. (Just waiting on one pretty huge detail before we can officially mail them)
4. Gave official announcement to everyone at the church service last Sunday pertaining to our departure. (Chatted with pastors and leadership prior to this)
5. Confirmed with yet a few more people that, yes- we are having a baby, yes- we are still planning on going to Ukraine, and yes- the baby will be coming with us. This baby will enjoy flying.
This months picture is about our favorite Ukrainian food:
Dumplings that can be filled with potatoes, farmer's cheese, cabbage, cherries, meat, or mushrooms. They are boiled, tossed with butter and cooked onions (except the cherry ones), and served with sour cream on the side. Very good.
