A Quick Note
January 4, 2008
This will be a quickie:
Today is Dasha's 14th birthday. We will go to the terminal (mall) to do some go carts and ice skating with Underwoods. Happy Birthday to Dasha!
Spent 2 1/2 hours at embassy again today trying to get visa. No luck. Can't get DHS to verify our renewed I-600. Guess they are all too busy enjoying the holidays!
Best case - visa tomorrow. Next best case - visa middle of next week. Worst case - we apply for residency/work visa from Ukraine. The Great Escape is on!
Not looking good for us all to come home on Sunday at this moment. Austin, Kirby and I will be home, regardless. Gina might end up staying for a few extra days next week. Will let you all know more once we do.
BTW, I quick bday wish in the form of a blog comment can be immediately seen by Dasha via Blackberry.
Blessings,
The Graces

We are still praying for the paperwork for the visa. God is able. We know you are ready to be home and we know the feeling! Know that there is a reason for whatever outcome God chooses to deliver. Hang on. Can't wait to see you all! Blessings, The Nichols
C Dnyome Rozhdenya Dasha!
I hope you had a great day riding go karts and ice skating.
Hey to all the Graces! We can't wait to see you. We read the blogs and laugh and reflect. Cecilla and Vickie were over here on Wed. I had six Ukrainian kids and 8 American kids running around and none of the Ukrainian ones were even mine! Fun! Jessica and Alexa are in KY visiting Kathy S. with Linda. We do hope you don't have to go to the Resident Visa route : ) Keep reading Exodus (relates to the Jan. 1 post Chris did). The familiar no matter how bad is always where we tend to want to head especially when we are uncertain/fearful. Keep trying to take the thoughts of Egypt out of her mind and heart. Love and hugs to you all, Karen T.
Happy Birthday Dasha! We are happy that you will live in America. You are a good girl! Welcome Home! God is good. He gave you a good family. He loves you Dasha! Come Home Soon! Have a beautiful day!

You don't know me but I am friends with the Turners and found your blog on their website. I just wanted to wish Dasha a Happy Birthday and let you know that I am saying a prayer for you in hopes that you will receive the visa.
