"Soon"

An update today from our agency. Our Letter of Invitation is at the Kazakhstan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The MFA will assign it a registration number making it official. Our agency expects to receive the LOI "soon". We're keeping our fingers crossed we can still travel in May but realistically are thinking June.

In the meantime, I thought I'd practice posting pictures to the blog. Here is a recent pic of our sweet dog Abby.

Thinking Summer

New plans for the LOI. Here's the latest. The doctor running the program is not currently available for contact so we cannot get an update on our LOI until late next week (earliest). That being said, we're being told to look for the LOI sometime in May. So, we'll likely travel in June. Needless to say, we're kind-of bummed out. Average temps in Kostanai for June hover around 85 degrees so we'll get to experience summer vs. spring-time weather! The good news... no snow boots so more room for packing!
