Hello everyone,

well Mercy landed in Houston on time Friday. My baby was exhausted due to the flight and not getting any rest on the plane. i thought she wouldn't be able to and I was right. The excitement and nervousness of first time flying is the reason. Anyway, on her flight schedule, she made a stop in Guam. I was under the impression that Guam wasn't a POE but that is where the USCIS processed her. Anyway, the officers there were really nice to her. She said she was out of immigration in about 5 to 10 minutes. In hindsight, I think it was best that she had Guam as POE cause I know if she would have landed in Houston while I was waiting, I know I would have been a bundle of nerves waiting for her to come out. Not the case though cause once I found what gate her plane would be arriving in IAH (Houston) I just patrolled the baggage claim area (suggested by Continental staff) until I spotted my beautiful wife to be got her bags and were on our way. She said her flight was good other than the length of it (22 hours with layovers) and not being able to sleep well. After we left the airport, we made our way to my brother's home in Killeen to stay the night and unite Mercy for the first time with family members. We will keep everyone updated on wedding, AOS and future plans as we go along our new life's journey together. May God bless all that are in VJ and to the one's that were so instrumental in supporting us, we want to say a big thanks.

Jim and Mercy
