It's Me, Sara Louise

It happened guys, it finally happen… WE HAVE A DATE FOR GREGORY’S GREEN CARD INTERVIEW! Cue singing: Hallelujah Hallelujah Ha-ll-e-lu-jah.

I have been dreaming of this moment for so long and in my head it went like this: I would reach my hand into the mailbox and pull out a letter from the NVC, I’d open the letter, and immediately start shrieking with joy and doing a happy dance before running into the house where the celebratory joy would continue. There would be laughter and cheerful tears and hugs.

This is what actually happened: the other afternoon I checked my email and there was one from the NVC (which honestly usually makes me panic now more than happy… it’s a Pavlov’s response kind of thing at this point), I held my breath before clicking it open. After scrolling through the standard blah blah who cares that they write in all of their letters, I finally got to the important part… Gregory’s interview had been scheduled!

There was no jumping up and down, no shrieking, no celebratory dancing, instead, Gregory and I just kept looking at the email in a state of shock. Sure we were excited (are excited), but we’ve been waiting so long that we couldn’t believe it. We just kind of sat there, staring at the email. (Way to go NVC, you’ve broken us, clearly we no longer have the ability to feel joy).

Bottom line though, we have an interview date! Cue golden trumpets. And bonus, it’s much earlier than we thought it would be, as in it’s next month. Next month! Can you believe it? We can’t. It’s almost over! Oh my goodness, it’s almost over!

Now, I know that this is going to sound a little nutty, but you guys know I’m a little nutty so indulge me please, I don’t want to say the exact date in case of some weird jinxy-ju thing happening. But, it is in April, and I would appreciate it if you guys could start throwing some good juju our way in a few weeks. Every bit helps you know, so give me your juju please. Thank you. I love you guys. Cue the virtual hugs. 

But listen to this coincidence… because nothing in my life is ever straightforward, and the universe does like to give me the occasional spanking every now and then just to keep me on my toes… the interview date has been scheduled on the very same day that Gregory was going to be flying home. The very same day… what are the odds? HA, thanks universe, you’re so funny! No worries, we’ll just buy another plane ticket because that’s what we do, we buy plane tickets. Cue my wallet weeping.
