We got an email update from our agency today that said that due to several holidays in Kazakhstan, and the likelihood that government agencies will be closed, they're not sending families for any first trips to Kazakhstan until after January 14th. Of course, we still need to find out which region we'll be headed to, but at least we know now that we won't be headed anywhere until mid-January at the earliest.
Not much else going on around here... Still working on my genetic diversity study (hoping that my DNA extractions are working)... Reading an awesome book called "Deep Economy" by Bill McKibben that's making me want to invest in a wind turbine and eat local organic food... Being awakened early in the morning by the sound of gunfire in the woods around our house (apparently shotgun season - for deer - started a few days ago)...Itching to get started on holiday baking... is it too early for Christmas cookies??? Maybe I'll just make a few "test batches." :^)

I am sure you are disappointed on one end, that you won't be there sooner but also relieved to have an idea of what your schedule will be. Hold in there, the time is coming. I keep checking back in on your blog for news!
Watching and waiting right along with you! And hoping too of course!
Hi! I just discovered your blog. Sounds like we're on a similar timeline as you - dossier at MOE for the last month. I look forward to following along on your adventure. Thanks for sharing!
I know waiting is hard. It will be great once you know where you are going.

Waiting is so hard, our dossier was sent to the region where we are supose to travel and we did not hear anything from them for 2 weeks. We just have to be patient, hopefully after New Year everything will move faster. Good luck :)
Yes, eat local organic food :)
Hang in there :)
Merry Christmas!!
