I resisted for about an hour and a half---but, I can't keep it up. And, I wanted to be in my own posting. We did not go for the checking every day for touches. We just waited it out.

My boyfriend emailed me some time today to tell me that the NoA2 arrived by snail today. The approval date, however, is January 16. I was so stressed about getting an RFE or, as was more likely, asked to try again because we forgot to cross a T somewhere.

But, no: approval instead.

We'll take it.

Last week at work, I was asked how things were going and I put my head down on my desk because the night before the average days between sent and interview had gone up to 215 days! And, it may still take that long, but I don't care about that today.

The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are;

you end up being complete with your loved ones."
