Yeah, he was excited. He said that he didn't know many people to call and tell about it - but he called everyone he could think of, including an expat friend of his who now lives in Texas.
Personally, I feel like a great weight has been lifted. I have had a numb left hand and left foot for the past month and a half solid (thanks to a pinched nerve bundle in my neck). Mirculously yesterday - nada.

Ahh yes, I remember wanting to tell EVERYONE, and the disappointing reaction I got from just about everyone I did tell... kind of 'huh? what does that mean? are you allowed to move over there or not? when you do get your visa? um, that's...... great'.
Glad the bunched-up nerves have relaxed - numb hand & foot sounds no fun at all! That said, I think my muscles are permanently knotted into an un-relaxable tangle that would take months of massage to fix! Must learn to relax...
