OK, so I just checked Aramex.... it left the embassy tonight(lastnight-Jordanian time)!!! He -in theory- should have his passport in hand by mid-day! Oh my gosh I can't believe we are sooooo close! Maybe headed toDenver Friday after work-OH MY GOSH!!! AHHHHHH! :dance:

I don't mean to rub salt in wounds girls- this is just the only place I have to Jump and shout, and you have all been right there with me thru it all! My love to you all and I hope to learn how to post photos from photobucket, so you can see his arrival soon!!!--- :dance: I'm giddy! he hehe!--AMY

sincerely, thank you for acknowledging that.

good luck in your future with your husband :star:

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Travis said today we are still in AP. That's ok.

Oh, hubby asked if I would like to see Syria when I fly out there. Do I? Can I get across their border?

You are a US citizen-- pretty much anyone will let you in! Just keep your passport on ya! Syria--we had a picnic with the family on the Syrian border while I was there last... it was a beautiful time. How I miss my family there :( We'll see them again--before too long! Egypt, let us in no problem, as long as you have the right papers! DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
