I'm Off!

Quite honestly, I wrote this post before I got my visa - before I had even heard from D.C. if my visa had been accepted. I have restrained myself though from posting this post until my visa was sitting at my house.
So, here's what has happened:

1. I got my visa today!

2. I bought my plane tickets!

 3. I just finished Level 1 for Russian in Rosetta Stone!

Count down? Yes! I leave Sept. 24th, 2014. I'm leaving in four weeks. :)

I've Got New Boots On!

I just got these in the mail this morning - soooo excited about them. They are super warm and I can't wait to wear them in Russia!

I am still waiting for my visa, but I hope to receive it by the end of next week.  

Have a great Friday!

Off to College

It is really strange to go from this old....

...to this old.

                           





                                                    

                                                                            

How time flies by...

It's hard to believe we've been friends that long.

You're such a fantastic friend!

I'm praying for you, Belle. 
Love yah tons!

It's All In

I have all of my paperwork (as of yesterday) sent in for my visa to Russia.

This means that I am just waiting now to hear if they accepted my visa application or denied it. Please pray that this process will go quickly and that there are no (at least) mistakes that will cause problems in the processing. 

Fun at the Fair

The Clark County Fair started Friday!
We all did well with what we entered.

This is just a sample of what was entered....

All this was fun - fun Friday to be precise. On Wednesday, we bring our animals (I mean Josh, Grace, James, Zachary, Megan, and Madeline bring their animals) to the fair.

And I have to post about Saturday. "The Deiter 100" took place and we raced all over Clark County and Northern Portland.

This Superman Team was pretty super!

("The Deiter 100" is like the "Amazing Race".) 

Zachary James and Ryan David

Oh! By the way, the family I'll be staying with had their twins July 27th! Since the picture was posted on Facebook, I've place it on my blog. :)

Have a fantastic week!
