So I had a normal Friday evening and had just got done Skyping with my Fiancé and was getting ready for bed when I received the life-changing text message and e-mail!! I immediately started shaking and then read the e-mail that confirmed our petition has been APPROVED!! 143 days!!

I screamed and then started crying and called my fiancé to tell him the amazing news...then conference called my family at 12:30am! Hahaha...so much for sleep tonight!

Even though it's just 1 step to this process, it feels like a milestone...we are 1 step closer to being together forever!

Oh and my sister won $90 tonight gambling that we split and my fiancé is coming for a visit in 9 days so it's been an AWESOME day!!

CONGRATULATIONS
