Stuck in Ukraine...

Well I was wanting to write more blog entries before we left and looks like my wish came true...yipee.... We were set to leave tomorrow morning at 11:45am and were so excited. All we had to do was go to the US Embassy today to get Yuri's visa. The plan was to "request" to get it back today even though you usually have to wait a day...seeing as we were held up with passport issues and having trouble getting out of Simferopal..etc

Getting the visa wasn't going to be a problem it appeared and I was about to do a little 'going home dance' until the Ukrainian at the Embassy said that we had a problem. GULP Our fingerprints expired while in the Ukraine. Due to the fact that we could have potentially committed a crime--in America, even though we haven't been there--we have to be re-fingerprinted. Oh no big deal, right? WRONG. The fingerprints have to be taken in Kiev at the embassy and sent to the FBI in America. Don't worry he smiles... it only takes 7 business days.
Waterworks.
Yep, I broke down crying right there at the kiosk.
So we won't be arriving in good ol America tomorrow as planned.

Pray for us and look for lots of blogs that have been saved up due to lack of time to post.

Oh and if anyone can get to the FBI put in a good word ;)
