Ron, Dinia, Dr. Andrew Warren, Dr. Kasey Wilson Warren, and Ashley Rob and Dede encouraged me to try blogging, and I see it as a great way to intoduce ourselves to other adoptive couples. It has been a blast sharing a bit of Moscow with Rob and Dede, and we hope to hear from other adoptive couples in the future.
May 27, 2007 was a huge day for our family as our oldest married fellow classmate Kasey Kay Wilson from Lawrence, Kansas. Home for us is in Alabama and the wedding was our first trip to Kansas. I think all weddings need a bit of drama, and our wedding drama was our daughter oversleeping and missing an early morning flight to the big event. Several phone calls later, and with a lot of excitment Ashley arrived in time for the rehersal dinner with her Grandmother in tow.
Ashley has wanted to be a vet since she was about 8 years old. She is now within 16 months of reaching her goal. We will soon have 3 doctors in our family so our pets and eyes should be covered in the near future. Currently Ashley is the proud owner of three dogs (one she claims is a foster dog), three cats, and two rats or perhaps I should say ferrets.
As I mentined earlier Ron and I have been married 32 years and we can see retirement days ahead! At last count we have moved some 23 times within those 32 years. Home for us has been New Orleans, Houston, Egypt, Scotland, Trinidad and Tobago, Izhevsk, Russia, London and now Moscow.

Hi Dinia! I found your blog through Rob & Dede. I just wanted to say "hello" -- and that I wish we had known about you when we were in Moscow last August! We adopted our little one from Vladivostok...and on our way home, spent 5 nights in Moscow. (and boy, did we have time on our hands!)
Anyway, interestingly, we also call Alabama home (both my husband & I were born/raised in N. Alabama) - and we both graduated from the "other" University (Roll Tide! :)
Just wanted to say "hello"!!
P.S., I should say that I grew up an Auburn fan, and I have a brother who recently received a graduate degree from AU. But I came to Alabama 10 years ago, and was converted. Oh well :)
