Hiya,

In about 4 hours and 40 minutes, my taxi will be arriving to pick me up and take me to the first airport of the day. The day is finally here. My daughter and I are about to start our journey to our new home in the USA with Tommy.

I have tons of emotions going on right now. I have excitement, like so excited i'm about to burst. I have sadness, sad that my two sons won't be going with us, even though they dont live at home, and one has a child of his own, i feel very very sad. On top of that, I feel guilty, guilty that I am so happy and excited and leaving the boys and grandaughter behind

Right now, I feel physically sick, it might just be butterflies in my stomach but it feels really wierd, hah.

I can't believe this day has actually arrived. It's been a very long journey for us and took 15 months to actually physically get our Visas. I'm so glad that this god awful distance between Tommy and I is almost over!

Finally WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn.

Congratulations on finally making it to the finish line Dawn!!!! I can't believe your day has FINALLY arrived!! Have a safe journey! The we'll all officially welcome you to the US!!!

Hooray! Dawn, I'm so happy for you. You deserve this happy ending!

Gratzies! My turn this time next week!! I know what you are going through with the butterflies - I just wish mine would go away til I really should get them!! Wooohoo!!

Congratulations. We are so happy for you. Its hard leaving your children behind no matter what their ages. Glyn and I each have two and his boys are staying here with their mom. Just remember....the world is a VERY small place now and even if plane tickets are expensive right now...your family is never more than a flight away.

OHMYGOSH Dawn! Finally at long last! I'm so very happy for you, woman! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
