So I just found out Wes sent in our paperwork today, so now we officially begin the waiting game with the rest of you guys! Excited and terrified that I will become a basket case by the end of this.

I suspect Spirit has flown where there is less 'negative energy' directed at her.

Anyway, good luck for a speeeedy visa process Danu!

Danu--

Congratulations!

It seems like less time waiting when you look back at it, but I don't know how much help that is now. In any case, I hope it is speedy.
