I thought I had everything ready and just thought that I dont have enough clothes hangers so one more thing to run out and get...

Good idea. My babe took everything off of my hangers and used them for her stuff. She was nice enough to fold my stuff and place in a pile.whistling.gif

She is good at given me the subtle hints.

We are very happy for you and Thuy. I am in VN now as Hanh's interview is tomorrow morning. Both Hanh and her daughter got their medical and good results in time! Our fate is now in the hands of the consulate! We have prepared well and I am fairly confident of a good result, but as you know,anything can happen! Words cannot express our gratitude to you and all the vj members for your help!! I too did not think about hangers. I will post what happened to us as soon as possible! The internet service here at the hotel is a little slow, but better than nothing.

At least she didn't toss them in the trash. Let me know if she does what my babe does and pokes her fingers in any little holes and makes them really big holes. I think she is trying to tell me something.whistling.gif

Good luck and God bless you both. I can tell you are stressing and that is normal but everything will be fine.

Make sure you buy hangers.good.gif
