Ready, Set......here we go!

On Thursday at 4:45 pm I had a voicemail on my phone. We have a court date!!!!! The next day Bill took off work and we contacted our agency and the travel agent to try and work out our itinerary. The plan has been to travel over for one week, come home for 2 weeks and then return for a final week to pick up Anja and finish all the work at the embassy. That has now changed. Bill and I will leave on April 2 for Moscow. After our court date on the 8th, Bill will return home and I will stay in Krasnoyarsk alone until I can officially pick up Anja. On the 22nd she and I will fly to Moscow to meet Bill and Soren and then home on the 3oth. A whole month in Russia for me. Wow. I can't even begin to list the things I will miss. However, a wise friend reminded me that this presents an amazing opportunity for me to learn the Russian culture.
