At long last
Four years and nine months after arriving in Australia we are now perminant residents.
The relief is so huge I feel like I could sleep for a week. And I keep randomly crying lol.
Thanks to George Lombard who had to listen to me crying down the phone, and then my work mates joining in (well only one of them joined in with the crying).
Anyway, can't talk, taking hubby out to dinner to celebrate. :-)

Congratulations. You are probably the living proof of the saying that where there is a will there is a way.
