Tomorrow, tomorrow, we love you...tomorrow

Good thing I was raised in the "tomorrow" mentality. Kazakhstan seems to be a lot like Argentina. We were expecting to receive the glorious letter of invitation early this week, but were told yesterday that it won't arrive before the 20th. The good news? Kazakhstan celebrated "Women's Day" yesterday. Pretty progressive. But it closed down the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which is still reviewing our dossier. More good news? The delay gives us a second chance to get reasonably (?!), ok, not-astronomically-priced, tickets. More good news? Justin doesn't have to rush back from a meeting in CA, to hop on a trans-Atlantic flight. More good news, boy you guys really like this stuff don't you. Ok, ok, ummmm, Katrina is coming with us. She's only in second grade and already smarter than me and Justin put together. When I asked Sophie about coming, she said, "Mom, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I really don't want to be in a tiny apartment with you guys in the middle of nowhere. I'd rather stay with Shannon." Ok, I can understand that I guess :)

More good news as it comes my way... til then, "Hasta maƱana!"
