Salam again everyone!

The news for us from Casablanca this morning was wonderful.....we were APPROVED for our K-1 visa!!!! I was only able to talk with Salim for a short while, but I will try to tell you what I remember:

He had the blonde lady, so he started off feeling even a little more nervous. She asked him to tell her about where I was born, when my father finished his Air Force enlistment, what schools I had attended, and some information about Maine , the city where I live, and some towns surrounding it. I guess she gave him a few smiles during the interview, and he was able to relax a little, although at one point she asked him if he was nervous, and when he answered "yes", she said something like, "You don't have any reason to be." He answered all of her questions, and corrected himself when he made a mistake about one date. I guess she laughed at him and said, "I think if I ask you to tell me about your fiancee, you could talk all day!" LOL So in the end she told him that we are approved, and they will call him to come and pick up his passport and visa.

I want to thank each of you who has been so encouraging to us along this journey, answering questions and offering prayers, and especially to my sweet new friend Paula, who was also approved this morning. We kept each other company on the phone last night for several hours before getting a few winks and awaiting the news. Hamdulillah, I am so happy to report that we received good news, and I will continue to pray for all of the couples who are waiting to be reunited with their loved ones. As soon as I am able to talk with Salim and get all of the details, I will post a full interview review on my profile. I know it helped us tremendously to read of others' experiences with the consulate, and we'd like to "pay it forward".

Thanks once again for all your prayers.

~Beth & Salim

Do you see how big the sea is?

Do you see how big the sea is? My love for you is as big as the sea.

Do you see how far the sky is? My love for you is as far as the sky.

As big as the sea and as far as the sky I love you,

I waited for you, I called upon you, I drew you on the promenades,

You sorrow of my life, you tears of the flowers, you season of the birds,

How vast the forest is, my heart is as vast as the forest.

You who are drawn on my door, and drawn in my heart,

I waited for you a year, and throughout the year I would ask the walnut trees,

and I would see you in the sunny days, coming from the sunny days, and lost in the almond leaves,

How small is a tear, and I am just a tear in your way,

I want to vow a candle so that you would let me love you.
