I just glanced through your timeline. Man this was a loooong wait for what, AP? Congratulations are indeed in order!

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

Thanks again to everyone!!!! Its been an exciting but exhausting day for me and my husband. Our families are so happy and excited for us, we have a lot of things to get done and planning to do. He's still trying to find a good deal on his flight and as of right now he keeps getting April 8 for the next available flight out in the price range he is looking for. We've waited 16 months, whats two more weeks, but he's determined to be here next week....lol. All I know is that he's coming soon and I am on cloud 9.

Sara, I wish my husband could bring everyone's husband back with him, how wonderful that would be. :thumbs:

Best wishes for those still waiting for approvals, interviews and visa's
