That is absolutely the best news ever, Ron. Congratulations to you and Sharon! I bet there were many tears of joy shed yesterday. SO....... when's the big move???

Thank you everyone for your wonderful thoughts and comments. Yes it was a tearful day yesterday, as Sharon said She didn't know whether to laugh or cry so she did both, as for me well I'm still to numb and it will only sink in when I have everything in my hands, this could still be a trick of theirs they did pull one last July when they asked for the DS-221.

As many of you know this for us was a long voyage and the last two years were the worse, the waiver took 12 months and it was approved and there was a 5 month break because of many family difficulties on both sides and in that time we both became ill and both were operated on, Sharon was out of work for almost 5 month I had a stroke and then fractured my hip and was out for 2 months. We were in AP for 755 day then luck was on our side we moved from AP to AR and were there for less time than we thought we would, only 34 days of a usual 4 to 8 week period.

As for the immediate future, Sharon will still be visiting but not for the labour day weekend but the week after for a longer stay so she can meet some of my family which I never gave her the opportunity before as I always went to Kansas and she never came here. I am going to continue working here for the next few months and leave on December 3. There is no date for the wedding yet but it will be in 2010 in Manitou Springs Colorado.

The game isn't over yet just the first round, but the rest will be much easier to take since we will be together.
