Thank you, again, to EVERYONE for your incredible kindness, understanding, and support yesterday. You made a very difficult day a LOT easier to swallow...Michelle...turns out you were right...They did have to give me my real approval quickly because I'd already had all the congratulations!!!

This morning when I downloaded my email there were FIVE EMAILS to tell me that I'd been approved. Don't worry...I checked this time...they're all STRAIGHT FROM USCIS and CRIS!!! These are MINE!!!

:dance::jest::goofy: :energetic: :dancing:

God is so gracious to me...He only made me wait one more day. Life IS good. I see I'm in good company today, too. WONDERFUL!!!

Laurent took the bad news very well yesterday as you all have probably read by now. He's in the car at the moment on the way to his parents' house. He sent me a message from his cell phone this morning. I'm going to go right now and send a message right back to his mobile...I think it's wonderful that he'll be with his parents when he gets the news!!!

WOOHOOOOOO!!! :star::star::star: I'm REALLY going to be smiling all day now!!! :D:D:D

I'm serious everyone...Your day is coming and I'm still praying and fighting for all of you!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

Great news Kirsten - and congratulations! It was almost inevitable that you would get yours quickly after yesterday's excitement:-).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

.― Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
