What a process!! I can't thank all of you enough for your help and support! It's the hardest thing a lot of us will have to do with all the ups and downs, months of waiting and worrying about the outcome. We had it easier than a lot of you will or did and I'm greatfull. For those of you who are still in the middle of it all or about to start, just hang in there...it'll come :)

Her flight was really good and the Detroit POE was really easy and stress free. It was extremely busy so the wait was pretty long but it was good other than that.

So thanks again everyone and we'll be here to cheer you on and help if we can :):thumbs:
