Laura and I touched down in the US about 5pm Tuesday! :dance:

It all seemed very surreal actually. But we're both happy.

The POE process was no problem, though we had to wait about 2 hours because it was quite busy. And no posted instructions or directions were a pain in the #######. But once they had her packet and passport in hand, it only took about 10 min.

What a relief.

so glad for you both :)

thank you for reminding us all that there IS an end to all the waiting... I know that my focus can sometimes get a little skewed ;)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.
