Hangin' On for the Ride

Well, it seems that the last few days before you leave the country it can get pretty hairy. Between the packing, sorting, purchasing/borrowing everything you need, writing up paperwork and doing more laundry than usual it can be made even more insane by sickness and requests for last minute documents. I'm trying to just hang on for the ride. I'm trying to keep my good attitude in the midst of it all, but it sure is tough.

At this moment, our documents are being reviewed in Russia. Every document that is re-done here and now is hopefully saving us a headache of having them re-done while we are in Russia. Imagine us trying to do it remotely. Yesterday we learned that one of our documents was missing a particularly important phrase so we had to have that re-done today. This morning our agency told us that Russia now says they don't like one of our documents the way it is done and I have to re-do that one too. Boy, this is fun to be dealing with this when we leave in 2 days.

I am waiting to hear back from that particular professional that needs to re-do this document. Please pray that he would be willing to do it and in the very small timeline we have to do it so we can hand-carry these documents with us.

Please also pray that we would not have to deal with anymore re-done documents before we leave.

We are also anxiously awaiting the FedEx man to deliver our Visas and today. I'm testing the theory that "the watched pot never boils." Hurry package man, hurry package man!!
