Yay! Fall is here!

I would like to thank everyone who sent cool thoughts to Texas. Thanks to your sharing we finally have some Fall weather. I haven't had my air conditioner on since Thursday. It's so wonderful! I would also like to congratulate all of my online friends that have recently received referrals and travel approval. Yay!

My paper chase is moving along. I received my approved home study yesterday and immediately went to the post office to mail it to the USCIS. Thanks to online tracking, I know they received it this morning. On to the wait for fingerprints... While I'm waiting for fingerprinting and the I-171H, I might as well finish all the little things like mounting photos on card stock, getting passport size photos taken, and send a batch of documents to Austin and the Vietnam Embassy for approval. I'm worried about the timing, so I'm going to submit in two batches.

I had a great weekend. Besides the cooler weather, my best friend in the whole wide world ( ;o) ) came to visit this weekend. We drove around to a bunch of small towns in the Hill Country and then road tripped to Corpus Christi. Unfortunately, it was raining along the coast, so we didn't get out to the beach. Seriously, it was pouring only along the beach front roads. Once we got a 1/2 mile from the beach it stopped!

I wish everyone a wonderful week with more referrals and safe travels!
