Update:

I just talked to Kevin, and he is home safe and sound. He actually ended up getting home even later than I did.

Isn't it funny how so many of us had to travel half way across the world to finally meet, but now that we have, I hope we can stay friends on American soil as well. So many families were in Kiev together this time, and it was wonderful to be able to share this journey with them. It was amazing to be able to share in the most stressful, scary, exciting, rewarding time of our lives with so many others going throuigh the same thing.
