One Step Closer...

Hi, Everyone!!!

Well, our Notice of Approval for Relative Immigrant Visa Petition arrived today in the mail. It was actually kind of funny that it arrived in the mail today. I have been thinking about it the last couple of days because I knew we should see it soon. Vermont immigration just rocks up here!!! I actually had not checked the mail today before we went on our walk with Abbie. I had been thinking of asking our neighbor, who works for immigration, to see if she could check for me. So, we saw our neighbors outside on our way back from the walk. I asked her if she didn't mind checking to see that it arrived. This is just something you don't want lost in the mail. She agreed. We said good night, and I grabbed the mail on the way up the drive way. Well, sure enough, the big brown envelope marked CIS was in the mail. Very exciting!!! So, I ran inside opened the package and called the neighbor to thank her, but it had arrived. I keep reminding myself I should check the mail first thing, but didn't get a chance when I got home.

I can't believe it is September already!!! I noticed at 7:42 pm tonight that is was pitch black out. I was like "What?!" to Dave. Already?! People keep reminding me that Ryan will be home before we know it. The days just fly by with being out in the field on a construction site. I am really enjoying being out in the field for the second summer. It really helps during design of things when you have been out on a construction site. Because there are somethings that look great on paper, but just aren't constructable.

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week!!!
