Well first of all, thanks to everyone who congratulated us and wished me a happy birthday, and you better believe it was one hell of a birthday present to get my wife home after three years of having to live apart!

After it taking a little bit longer than we thought to get all of the little stuff that remained packed, we arrived at the border around 10:15pm. We were greeted by an awesome border agent that I had run into before just commuting to her place on the weekends, and he let us know to pull into the building and off we went. The first guy that called us up was kinda a bummer, as he had some attitude and I figured we were in for some bad times, but then the guy who had just cleared us came in and began working on it.

He had a pretty thick accent and it was obvious he too was an immigrant, so I think that helped us a lot as he knew what we had to go through and he was really great. He did the paperwork, took her fingerprints, and answered the few questions we had, and we were back into my car driving towards my house by around 11:45 - midnightish. It was really great to see my wife look out the window and see her home again, and just to see her smiling was great.

When we got back to the house, my mom was there to greet her with a great big hug, then the tons of tears started to flow between them. I raced back to my car to start unpacking, as I had no desire for them to try to drag me into Cryfest 2007 haha.

All in all our trip was a breeze, and I was super happy that FINALLY something about this went as easily as we hoped, since the last year of dealing with the process was pretty much hell. Good luck to everyone!

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

Congratulations. I'm so happy that you are finally re-united and home together.
