My baby went to the embassy to pick up his visa today! He IM'ed me saying "baby, we hit the jackpot!" :dance::dance::dance: I am so happy and thankful that God allowed these people to see we are a genuine couple. I didn't think my financial situation would cut it, either, at one point. I am too overjoyed and he has gone completely ballistic, lol. According to a coworker of his, he has been running around back and forth and jumping up and down. I guess his calm and relaxed attitude are completely out the window, lol. A big thanks to everyone on VJ. If it weren't for this site, I really don't think we would be celebrating today.

Also, a big thanks to everyone in the Africa forum. Even though I was going through Liberia, it was the details from everyone else's case that kept me going. I really appreciate it and I pray that everyone else here makes it "out" successfully and in a timely manner!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

I hope I don't get too drunk tonight, lol!
