:D Just had to share the great news that the travel agent confirmed the flight bookings! I'll be going "home" October 10th. 4 hour journey to London, 10 1/2 hour flight to San Francisco then 2 hours to Stockton...After 15 months seperated the trip back seems easy. I am so excited, I just can't wait to finally reach out and be able to grab my future literally instead of imagining it. It's all infront of me now, I'm still shocked we got through this far.

Fiona

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

:dance: Fantastic!

I still look at hubby and can't believe he is really here, it often gives me the giggles and I have to say outloud "you are HOME"!

All the best to you and Andrew, you will be here before you know it.

Congratulations - and may you have a safe and uneventful journey:-)

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

After such a long wait, I can't imagine how thrilled you are ! Congratulations and I pray you have a safe trip.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
