We're Invited to Visit the Glorious Nation of Kaz

Our letter of invitation arrived yesterday. I have a jpeg of it and I'm learning to read Russian. Nyet!

Looks like we'll travel some time between April 27 - May 1. We're really starting to get nervous about the timing though because Justin has a customer event he's been planning since Dec. that takes place in Miami at the end of May. He has to be there, so much so that he would need to fly back for it and then return to Kaz if needed. This is all so crazy!

Now that the infamous LOI is in hand, we wait for a cable. Yes, a cable--invented shortly after morse code and apparently poor dear Kaz still uses this cryptic means of communicating with its embassy. When the embassy gets the cable, it will issue the visas. Vodka shot anyone?

My lovely neighbor and awesome friend, Connie, took that chatter box Isabelle (seriously, she's just like Sophie in that regard. I call it breathe-talking. If she's breathing, she's talking! And if you listen, its all darling, but my brain is one of those that hyper-focuses on one thing only) off my hands this morning so I'm whirling thru the house and around town trying to get as many items off the "to do" list and finish two editing jobs. And somehow the school didn't pull me off the volunteer list so I'm going to type up stories for 5 second graders as part of my Publishing Center responsibilities. So I'm off....
