IM SO HAPPY!!!!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

It was soo funny too, because I was FAST ASLEEP! Saw the missouri number on the phone and picked up and said "baby, just give me 15 more minutes..Ill call you back" because I thought it was my husband. And the lady was like "Ummmm, Coralie... its Alicia from Sam Graves's office, your visa was approved this morning!".

I felt like such a bonehead! But yes, I am dancing around in circles now! Work is going to be SOOO hard today!

Congrats! :dance: :dance: You must be relieved. It seems that things have been moving along at Montreal, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet...

Cowgirl, I am waiting too. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon.

I sent my additional documents in on St Patricks day.. So I hope that helps you guys out with your timelines Lenie and Cowgirl. It took exactly 4 weeks!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
