Early Summer Vacation

Yes! You brilliant detectives are correct. We got our court date, May 13th, and we will be leaving for Russia either May 9th or 10th!!! That was about the best email of my life. We will be gone for almost a month because we are staying in country and making it one long trip instead of two. We will have a travel planning meeting later this week, so I'll have more details then. We are thrilled. I will now take the rest of the evening, all thirty minutes of it since we had to drive to a neighboring town to get pictures for our visa application and just got home, to be thrilled before I jump into trip preparation mode tomorrow. Wait? Maybe I'm already there and I am happy to be right in the middle of it again.
