I picked up my fiance Tuesday night!!!! - I drove all the way to Chicago from Ohio to get him (so worth it LOL). It took him three hours to get through customs - which isn't bad considering I used to be in the U.S. military with a top secret clearence and he used to "officially" be an officer for Iraqi intelligence...it shot up more than a couple red flags. But they FINALLY let him through and I have to thank the Royal Jordanian flight attendants....they stayed and sat with him the entire time he went through all the questionaing and customs #######. But they eventually released him and he's finally met his 6 week old daughter.FadisHomecoming008.jpg

Sooooo awesome! How excited was he? Was he tired? Did he get to meet her in the car or did he have to wait until he got home? Yay!!!!

He was pretty tired but I think he finally got some sleep yesterday. I didn't bring our daughter with me to the airport - too much hassle and I was their waiting for 8 hours...so he had to wait until we got home. But thanx for the congrats. And congrats to you too Julianna!!! I am anxiously awaiting your reunion post. Good luck.

That's why I asked :) I figured it would be a big hassle to bring her with you to the airport and wait.. and then the drives... you know. It's going to be a while for us! June! Whah!!! :)

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.
