Hi everybody! I've been busy lately, so haven't posted in a while - but here's what's new with me. I had my medical last week, and my paperwork is all in order. My interview date is scheduled for April 29th in Vancouver, and I'm getting ready to head out there in a week. I sold my condo, the movers are coming on Friday, so now I'm packing up all my worldly possessions and saying goodbye to all my friends here.

It's a very strange time for me. I'm feeling very excited about finally being reunited with my fiance, but I'm also feeling very sad about leaving my home behind. I've been an emotional wreck lately! I know I will learn to like my new life in the US, but I feel horribly homesick already, and I haven't even left yet... Anyway, I will report back after my interview and let you know how it went. Back to packing...

i wish you all the best with your interview and everything else you're working through in order to get ready for the big move. :star:

i'm sure i'll have the same feelings you're having once it is time for me to move. i already have days when i walk out my front door and think "i'm really going to miss this place." and i've been making an effort of spending much more time out and about with friends. this is such a strange but exciting process.

hope the packing is almost finished :)
