7 months & Counting

According to the ticker at the bottom, we've been on this "expedition" for over 7 months. So, now we are in the waiting room. I got word that our Dossier is most likely being translated right now. That would be in Russia! The estimated time for a referral, from when we submitted our Dossier to the agency is 6 - 9 months. Looks like November might be the earliest we'd hear anything. Of course, we are praying for it to be sooner.

So then, how's about another Vocab lesson?

For Mrs. Salty:
Good morning = DAWB ra ye OO tra
Good night (couldn't find good evening) = spa KOY ne NAWCH ee
Hello = ah-LOH!
Goodbye = daas vee DAAN ya

Yes = dah
No = nyeht
Please = Puh-ZHAHL-stuh
Thank you = spuh-SEE-buh

Car = mah-SHEE-nuh
House = dohm
Boy = MAHL-chik
Girl = DYEH-booch-kuh
pryee-KRAHS-nuh (excellent!)
