Well, here's a bit of good news.
Today, two weeks earlier than expected, we received my husband's US residency visa in the mail.
We've got six months to enter the US before it expires.
I've got half that long to make sure my husband doesn't chicken out and change his mind, and then to get us there in time for the new school year.
Wish us luck, everyone. We need this. My son and I, in particular, need this.
We just need that extra little push to bring us to the finish line. Please send us lots of positive energy...!
