I just found out about 15 minutes ago- Marie called and said-"Guess What Hun" - with some definite hesitation I said- "Yes-what happened Honey" and then I heard a loud "WE DID IT HONEYYYYYYYY" :dance: I just kinda sat there speechless for a second- it felt like I was dreaming- it really did. All I could say was-Oh My Gosh- Oh my Gosh :lol: . As the minutes go by its really starting to set in and I am getting Happier and Happier. I do have to say one of the first things I thought of was wanting to post the good news on VisaJourney. WOW- I just cant believe it. My Honey got approved - She was so very nervous about this interview and I cant say I blamed her at all. But she did it :yes:(L)

I gotta go now but I will post again about the details of the interview as soon as Marie calls me back and fills me in. She didnt tell me much because she wanted to go get something to eat, she was starved-didnt eat breakfast and was at the embassy since 4 AM.

And by the way- THANKYOU EVERYONE that has helped us on this leg of our journey, We couldnt have done it without out you, well maybe with a lawyer :lol: Thank You all and God Bless- Gary and Marie
