I'm Dutch!
The letter came yesterday. It took exactly six months and a week. Eric and I had celebratory takeout Chinese, when he got home (21.00) We were both so excited and exhausted -- you don't notice how much it weighed on your shoulders, until it's gone.
Thanks to everyone thought positive thoughts, said a prayer, lit a candle, baked cookies, let me complain, kept my kids occupied while I had meltdowns, or slipped the IND officials money. You know who you are.
And a blessed Christmas, wherever you are in the world!
