ground rush

we move back to the US one month from yesterday...i think tim explained this really well the other day...

in skydiving there is a term called ground rush, where it feels like suddenly the ground is coming toward you {or the other way around} really fast. an adrenaline rush, for sure.

when you are skydiving {or getting ready to move from russia to the US}, you know that you will land {be back in the US} eventually, but in the meantime you have time to just freefall or coast under the parachute and look around, take deep breaths, etc...

but then at some point, it looks like the ground is coming really fast...

we are in the 'ground rush' phase of getting ready to move back.

so creative, isn't he?

{tim surprised me for my 27th birthday and we went skydiving, something i have always wanted to do! we highly recommend skydive airtight and jumpmaster steve phelps for your skydiving adventures!}

{the day we jumped...i just landed for the first time, tim is getting ready to go up}

This is one pic of you guys that I've never seen. It's a keeper....just like you! Your metaphor comparing what you're walking through right now with the sky-diving fall is powerful. You're both amazing when it comes to words, feelings and expressions. Speaking of 'falling' the new pics on picasa are hilarious!

way to go guys!!! how fun and what a cool metaphor for this time in your life... I personally can't wait for you to back on US soil, but I can hardly imagine all the emotions and feelings you have going on right now. praying and thinking of you guys... :) love you so much
