Well…. we were APPROVED :) I am so thrilled that this process is over and that in the next week or two we will be together without boundaries… That was my motto through this whole long distance relationship…. Love has no boundaries… :) I'm just so glad that soon we will be able to wake up every day next to each other and not have to worry about the other having to return home…. Sigh….. Relief! Thank you all for your support and your help on our process…. I will have John update how his interview went today and what questions they asked and so on… I just wanted to say a huge "thank you" to you all :)
