First Visa Ordered

Well the first visa application went off to Washington, D.C. today. I have very mixed feelings. I am very excited and it is beginning to finally feel real, BUT I also have a very upset stomach. That I think is from the fear of flying, the knowledge of how exhausted we will be, how upsetting it will be for them to have to say good bye. All of that stuff.
I will tell you what, we have worked so hard to get to this point. From the point where all the visas are received it will be so easy to go see them.. Just an airplane ticket for 5 years. After that it is just a visa renewal. It is amazing how easy it is for us to travel to them compared to how difficult it is for them to visit or come to us.

Today is Saturday. Can you believe it?! The visa has already arrived. 6 days from here to there and back again. That is service.
