Hi,

I just wanted to let everybody know that it is the happiest day of my
life ... almost. I got my passport with visa ... right now I am so
excited that I have trouble breathing. I hope to calm down after some
time ... I am not sure about it though. Right now I am the only
person how knows the news, I haven't had any time to pass this on and
it is night in Canada so I cannot just wake up my hubby with the
happy news. Then again why not ... well I will give him some more
hours of sleep, I am nice )) Anyway enough of this mad person
babbling. I am sure you will be the same as soon as you get one

Here is my timeline for those who wants to know:
