- 2/6/2008 10:41:12 PMApartment Arangements ConfirmedMy beloved bride has successfully secured an apartment for us in Moscow. After combing the internet and gleaning a ton of valuable information from two super valuable resources (thank you so much Christy and Tracy), we found a place we like (and that was available) from Peace Travel Services.
The apartment has a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave as well as a cloths washing machine. It has a single bedroom but the couch in the main room can fold out into a bed. We'll send photos of it when we get there.
I was very nervous about staying in an apartment at first. After speaking with Christy and Tracy last night, it seems like it may be one of the highlights of the entire trip. I'm looking forward to it.
The other day we had 2 very important documents to send out via FedEx. One of them was a re-do of our police clearance letters. We received them back from Madison today. The other document was our request for a Visa from the Russian Consulate. There was a delay in getting our invitation letter and consequently we were not able to send our Visa request until Tuesday. We confirmed via tracking number that it was received in Seattle this morning. Hopefully it is already on it's way back or will be very shortly.
Besides waiting on the Visa, all that is left to do is pack suitcases and prepare the house (stock the cupboards and refrigerator, get all the laundry washed, bring all the trash to the dump...)
Actually, there is one more very important thing to do... pray.
Lord, prepare our hearts for this trip - for what we are about to see, hear and experience. Please prepare Yuri's heart. Let our reunion be filled with tears of joy. Help us to reflect your love in everything we do and say.
We ask for this in the Name that is above all names.
