Not weird at all, Aly! I was actually thinking the same thing this morning. I'll skim through and see if I can find the times and add them, but if you have an upcoming interview and don't mind reposting the time, I would be very grateful!

Yay!! :D I am a logistical genius!! Or something :blink::lol:

Ohhh.... I just want things to move now - I woke this morning in a panic about everything after having tons of dreams about the visa, immigration, moving, the wedding etc and now I am kinda bouncy and want to get on with it...

You know the fresh smell of spring/summer? When you can smell the dew on the grass and the sun is bright and the birds are singing - I kinda feel like that at the moment and I don't quite know why :) But I want to feel like that in my new life as well so that makes me want to start it now!! I know I'll have down days too but I am making the most of this wonderful feeling - I mean what a big adventure!!! :D

It's so funny you say that Aly- I feel the same way this morning! It may only be January 8th in the deep dark winter of the Northeast (US), but I've got a skip in my step and I could be walking on clouds! My fiance got his medical appointment this morning- 15th of January... We've just received packet 3 and are still waiting on our police certificate before we send back the package... But things are moving so quickly now, and I feel like skipping!! ANNND - after weeks of 10 degree temps (Fahrenheit), today it's in the forties! (F). Feels incredible! Like summer! (well, not really, but compared to the temps we've been having, it's very refreshing!)

I just want it to be the summer now so I can move!! :D

Thanks Mustang Sally and Julez!!! I'm SO NERVOUS!!! lol. But fingers crossed all goes well for Stephen at the interview tomoz. And Gillian, I'm thinking about you too!!! BEST of luck to you tomorrow!!! Check in as soon as you can and I promise to do the same after I hear from Stephen!

--Amber

I've been thinking of you! You haven't been around much!! I hope the interview goes really well for Stephen tomorrow! I'm looking forward to adding some new approvals!!!!! Good luck!!

Awww, thanks!!! It's true I haven't been posting much, but I've been around reading! It seems every post I made was a WINGE, so I thought I'd wait until I had a more positive outlook before posting. Which brings me to my point....

WE'RE APPROVED!!!!!!!!!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Stephen's interview, which was at 10:00 a.m. ;) , was painless and quick. He said they sort of thumbed through his info, and as they were stamping things, asked where we met and how long we'd known each other and then said, "Congratulations. You're approved." :thumbs:

He's winging his way back to Belfast as we speak and will be winging his way to Atlanta on the 18th!!! WOOT!!!

Thanks for your support everyone!!!!
