PINK and VISA Appointment in one day!!!!!!!
we just enjoy screwing with the averages on the List
we were only in PGN for 28 days, but then had major delays in getting pink. now...we got pink the same day we submitted our final papers and our visa appointment was the NEXT day!! woohoo!!

our appointment this morning went super well. we even got to skip the interview part. well..they did interview us at one window, but not at the normal window.

sammi peed on hubby's leg while we waited. it was pretty funny! she laughed, and so did i...i think hubby was in shock

we are flying home on friday! we just CANNOT wait to get home!!!!!

loves to all who have encouraged and supported us!!!
