Snow, Sleet, Ice & Fingerprints
Today we had a really bad storm, it started as snow durnig the night then went to sleet, freezing rain and ice. Everything is coated with a layer of snow and ice, making driving challenging and scary. Today I also had an 8 AM appointment at US Immigration Services to be refingerprinted. Since I'm traveling in a couple of weeks, I didn't want to try to reschedule my fingerprinting appointment; I have no idea how long it would take to get another appointment. So I decided to say a prayer and leave my house very early this morning; before the roads were plowed and before there was a lot of traffic on them. I had to go about 70 miles round trip. It took me about four hours to get to Port Chester, to get fingerprinted and to get home. I was very thankful to get home safely.

Travel Dates!
For those of you who have been following my adoption journey, you know that if it's winter it means it's time for me to travel to Eastern Europe! I found out today that I have been invited to travel to Moscow in early February. At this point I don't have many details, I just know I have a lot to do to get ready to go. I'll post again soon.

Next Steps
CHI and I have had many discussions about the options available to me. We discussed a few regions but ultimately decided that the best place for me to continue my adoption journey would be in Moscow. That being said, today I applied for a Visa that will allow me to return to Russia in the beginning of the new year. Hopefully I will receive my invitation to travel quickly when the calendar turns to 2011. I hope all of you will continue to support me and follow along as I move forward in this process once again. I'll post again soon.

Documents
We had some unforseen delays getting all of my documents out of Astrakhan. I received word last night that we got my documents back. That's a good thing! I'll speak to CHI again soon about the options available to me and then I'll have some decisions to make about what happens next.
