On a side note...

For three weeks now we've been dealing with dreaded CIS and NVC/embassy issues... they are still not resolved. Our agency has been pushing us to cancel our trip...

The best of times/the worst of times..

We do have a ton more new pictures of Bezu but I haven't the energy to post them. She's just beyond gorgeous and report has it (thank heaven for Tiff and Dan) that she is a wonderful little sweetheart!

We're still packing and decided last Friday that we're going no matter what, but things just don't look good.

Freakin govnmt.... for those of you who think gov. health care is a good idea, send me a private email! Our issue could be resolved by someone faxing a document (that the embassy lost/misplaced) and they won't do it.

To boot, none of it is our fault - they frigged up our cable (twice) - can you feel the heat coming off this post? I was in denial about posting about it but I guess I need to ask for prayers from ya'll...

I'm beyond pissed/deflated...

Still planning on going against their advice, but things could take a turn for the worse and have us change our plans. Why can't this be an exciting part of our journey?

  10. Hey Lori, hang in there! It is almost an inevitable part of the process. We BARELY made it as out fingerprint updates took WEEKS to clear and we got them the day before we were supposed to board the plane.

    Just hop on the plane, think of your sweetie, and after you've done your part in clearing things up, let the agency work for you. That's what you're paying them for, and they WILL eventually figure it out.

    Post those new pics!!!! I wanna see your sweetie!!!! :)
