10 Years!

On June 1, Jess and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We've actually known each other for about 19 years. It's hard to believe 10 years have passed already.

We spend 4 nights in Estes Park at our favorite bed & breakfast -- Taharaa Mountain Lodge. We reserved a small suite, but when we got there, they were having work done on the deck. So they upgraded us to their top, 2-room suite! We had a great time of just relaxing and having fun together.

It was the first time that Bohdan and I have been away from each other overnight. My dad came to our house and stayed with Bohdan. They had a great time together -- they went to the children's museum, the zoo, the mall, and played a lot. They did very well together. Bohdan asked about us a lot, but he wasn't upset that we were gone. We called him every night to say hi and goodnight. I actually did well being away from Bohdan too, although I missed him a lot. At 48 hours away I had a little trouble with really missing him, but I managed.

This trip gave us all confidence that our plan for Dad to stay with Bohdan while we're in China will work. But at the same time, I don't know how I'm going to manage being away from Bohdan for 2 weeks! It will definitely be a challenge, but we'll also be very busy with a new baby, adoption appoinments, and sightseeing.

Speaking of the adoption, we also got our Log In Date: May 24. That's when our paperwork was officially logged in in China.
