Hi Everyone!

Well, I can't believe it is finally here! Faisal's interview in Casablanca is tomorrow morning (Casa time) at 8:00am. Tonight, we will go over questions for the last time. Other than that, everything is set. Medical, photos, passport-check. All paperwork and evidence of relationship-check. New suit, haircut, new shoes-check. Organized ride to Casablanca starting at 5:30am-check. Prayed and prayed and prayed-check.

There is nothing left to do. Now it is all hurry up and wait. We know that this can either be really smooth and easy OR really grueling because it is Casablanca after all. We put it all in God's hands now. Please pray for us and send positive vibrations into the universe for us. Due to my school schedule and my foot injury, I was unable to be in Casablanca with him. We are both alittle nervous and excited.

Thanks everyone on VJ who have shared their experience, strength, and hope with us. We would have not made it this far so fast without you and this website. We will be prepared to report our experience and review the Consulate when we are finished.
