Guys today, March 3rd, on my birthday!  Grin hubby and i went to the embassy to drop off ALL documents requested, including HIS PASSPORT!!,  all they told his was "everything is in order, just wait for your visa!!"

This is unbelievable!! I always hoped this will be over but i never thought it would feel this good to know its over!  Feels weird too, but WE ARE SOOO READY! for that lies ahead of us.  I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has been there for me, you know who you are, i dont want to mention names because i dont want to leave anyone behind.

But MAY my dear friend, i have to mention your name.  Cause without you in this process i dont know what it would've been.  Unfortunately this is how we had to meet, but fortunately thanks to this process we became best friends, and i am really thankful for that and you KNOW it!

Tim and BanginMa i have to also mention your names because with your expert advice i always knew the right way to go.

Thank you everybody, know we are just waiting for the passport with the visa. I will continue to keep you guys updated.! Luv Luv
