WE HAVE A VISA!!

[Firstenburg 0]

Camila's interview at the consulate in Rio de Janeiro was this morning. I got a call from her at 5:45am. I wasn't expecting a call till around noon, so I immediately assumed there was a problem. I was half asleep too, so when she yelled into the phone that her visa was approved, I thought I heard her say denied. It took a second to hit me! She was the first in line at the Consulate and the first interview of the day and done in about an hour and a half!

But, we now have an approved visa and are just waiting for the consulate courier to deliver it to her (about 3 days).

What my wife doesn't know yet (but my Mom predicted) is that I caved and paid the change fees to move my flight to Rio up a week. The consulate originally set her interview date for the 20th. Then after we had bought airline tickets, they moved the date to the 13th, leaving my wife twiddling her thumbs for a week and a half. The cost to move the tickets up a week was big, so we both decided that it was more practical to wait the week and save the money. But I'm impulsive and emotionally driven. So after I got off the phone with the reality of an approved visa staring me in the face, I called the airlines and changed the tickets.

I said my wife doesn't know yet, because I've decided to make this a surprise. I could hear it in her voice this morning that she would love to come here earlier, but didn't want to ask to spend the extra money. So I'm not going to tell her, just gonna show up in Rio and try to catch her expression on camera.

Anyhooooo, I'm so freaking excited I can barely type. I leave next Tuesday (17th) and will be home with Camila on saturday the 20th.

Woot!!
