We have arrived in Petropavlovsk!!!
Local Time - just after 6:00AM
We arrived in Petropavlovsk yesterday afternoon about 4:30. Our driver and translator met us at the airport. After we loaded up the tiny car with all of our bags, we headed into town to the market/grocery store. We stopped in to get a few items to get us started. Then we headed over to our apartment. The apartment is interesting – so different from apartments in the US! It has a lot of space and everything that we will need. We do have internet in the apartment, but it is dial-up. We will try to post some pics of it later. We unpacked and cooked dinner. First “meal” since Saturday (not counting airplane food)! We attempted to watch a movie, but fell asleep about 8:00PM. Our schedules/time zones are still off. I haven’t been sleeping well for the last couple weeks anyway…too much to think about. So this morning @ 3:00AM I was wide-awake and ready to go.
Later this morning at 9:00AM we have a meeting/interview with the Dept. of Education and then we hope to be able to go to the baby house later this morning or this afternoon!!! This has also added to the loss of sleep around here. Dustin and I are so nervous & excited!!! It will be interesting to see what today brings!!
More later…off to go iron our clothes for the meeting!
Love,
Dust & Cort
PS- I picked up a bag of delicious looking rolls to have with our pasta last night, only to open the bag and discover they were éclairs!!! Let the stupid American moments commence!

I am on pins and needles for you guys! I can't wait to wake up in the morning and read about your day!
Yay!!! I'm soooo excited for you! Watch out for butter..I thought I had butter and it was some kind of cheese. Lets just say that was a rather odd flavor on noodles!
I too cannot wait to wake up and read your latest post, try to relax and take it all in our meeting with the MOE and 1st baby house visit was 20 mins after landing and seemed a blur so try to remember everything so excited for toy guys!!!!!!!
What an exciting time! No wonder you can't sleep! We look forward to your posts. We are sending tons of love and positive thoughts your way.
Sending you best wishes from a fellow Petropavlovsk mom. Dr. Rimma is wonderful, although a bit intimidating at first.

I'm praying your first meeting is everything you could wish for!
Best of luck,
Lou Ann & Lexie too
