Good evening everybody,

I'm not sure what else to say, but I just sent in my I-129f packet and it's going to be in Texas tomorrow by noon. We've spent a lot of time waiting, between my sending Janeth the G-325A and the letter of intent to sign and her sending it all back to me, so I'm very excited to actually have initiated the process and now be on our way to being together. I'm very happy right now. Plus I get to put something in my signature now! :)
