Matt-

Again, wishing you two the best as the hour of her interview nears! There are a bunch of us VJers who understand your situation and wish Phuong Anh the best possible outcome from her interview. I know you've heard and read a lot of horror stories, so you are prepared for the worst, but stay positive, it IS likely your evidences are enough to bring her home to you!

So hang in there, the news will come soon enough! ...and if you had an xbox360, I'd offer to stay up with you and play xbox live thru the night :)

It's 11:10 PM here and I am going nuts! I am wired. It's just after 10am in Saigon right now and my girl is likely sitting in a stuffy room wondering when her grilling will begin.

Just watched "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and loved it. Made me laugh a lot and that helped. But now what? I cannot sleep. Impossible.
