A Longer Night

Well, the judge has had our documents since Jan 24th. The 1st appointment with him scheduled for Jan 31st was postponed till Friday, Feb 2nd. That day, he told our translator that he was only part way through his review and needed another week. So, we sit tight till next Friday. I am told these little delays are par for the course. They are common and don't worry us at all. We are a little behind in our preparations for Ruslan's coming, so we are happy to have a little extra time. We know that the dawn of our family is imminent, it is just the preceding darkness that will be a little bit longer.
