The Countdown Is On!

Wow! Time flies when you have a lot to do and you feel like you never get anything done!

Time is winding down! One month from right now I will be in Belarus. I can't believe it! Tickets are purchased, hotel is booked, and all I have left to do is send my visa application. Hopefully I can do that tomorrow.

My plan has been to surprise Alex on his birthday. Before you say that you hope he doesn't leave town, I did write to his mother and tell her.

I am getting really excited.

Also, nervous.

I mean, I haven't seen the man for 15 years. I'm really putting myself out there, but I think it is worth it. So, in preparation of my departure, some memories, and a video I found with pics from Dzerzhinsk.

Lena, me, Alex in the back, Tanya, Vanya and Kate in the front.
