Thank you, again, to EVERYONE for your incredible kindness, understanding, and support yesterday. You made a very difficult day a LOT easier to swallow...Michelle...turns out you were right...They did have to give me my real approval quickly because I'd already had all the congratulations!!!

This morning when I downloaded my email there were FIVE EMAILS to tell me that I'd been approved. Don't worry...I checked this time...they're all STRAIGHT FROM USCIS and CRIS!!! These are MINE!!!

:dance::jest::goofy: :energetic: :dancing:

God is so gracious to me...He only made me wait one more day. Life IS good. I see I'm in good company today, too. WONDERFUL!!!

Laurent took the bad news very well yesterday as you all have probably read by now. He's in the car at the moment on the way to his parents' house. He sent me a message from his cell phone this morning. I'm going to go right now and send a message right back to his mobile...I think it's wonderful that he'll be with his parents when he gets the news!!!

WOOHOOOOOO!!! :star::star::star: I'm REALLY going to be smiling all day now!!! :D:D:D

I'm serious everyone...Your day is coming and I'm still praying and fighting for all of you!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
