WOW! So they give visa in one day? Hubby had interview thursday, picked up his visa on Monday.

Congrats on getting the place! Saw the picture on facebook... I am about done decorating buying furniture for ours, This saturday will have furniture delivered, then I am all set for his arrival :)

Sometimes they do but I don't know if they will have his as Sachi never got hers on the same day. Fingers Crossed.

His dad works for the airlines so the ticket he buys its good for a year & can be used any time during that year without paying anything extra.

I still have to go shop for furniture. Well, I have the bedroom set but need a living room set, dining room set & a cherry dresser for Gisele's room to match her crib. I too hope it all will be delivered on time. Apartment won't be available till about June 7th - 15th so I have some time & plenty of packing to do!

Oh & a matress too as my old matress was too small for the frame.
