F-R-O-Z-E-N!!!

I know what it feels like to be cast for the movie Frozen!!! I have never been to the US Consulate, so I was shocked to discover they would not welcome me without an appointment or bring my a cup of hot coffee to keep me from freezing to death!!! We stood with Masha and other US-visa-hopeful Russian in-20 degrees for over an hour!!! Somehow we still managed to laugh, make friends and have fun as we slowly lost all feeling in our limbs and face!!!  I love that even though her application was denied, her joy never wavered and she just said, “God must have a better plan for this summer!  I wonder what they will be!?!?”
