Yeah, sometimes. This just came in. You have no idea how I feel . . . well, some of you do. Evelyn's at work now, so I sent her a txt to check her email. If you feel the ground shaking in a few minutes, it's probably her jumping up and down. Funny thing is, I checked USCIS @7pm central time and no approval yet. Is USCIS working overtime? HALF WAY THERE !!!

You aren't kidding. Now I've got one more reason to never forget this date. Wow! What a great feeling. Five years ago I felt about as bad as a guy can feel. And now, five years later to the day, I feel about as good as I've ever felt. Gotta say thanks to Tom and Gary for all their hard work putting together the NOA1/2 graphs and data. That kind of support helps more than you know. And thanks to everyone at VJ. I'm a new member, but have been familiar with the site almost from the beginning. It's been a tremendous source of encouragement and information. Well, enough of that . . . Party Time !!!
