...We just received the NOA2 (Notice of Action) from the USCIS....so we still have the police background, medical, AOS and the Embassy interview to go.....

Wow! almost 190 days since I left Thailand. Charmaine and I talk daily, usually twice a day as we pray together..(her night, my morning and visa-versa) . I miss all my Filipina's, Filipino's and Thai friends I left behind...but someday we will meet up again...There are no Goodbye's...only see you soon(s)! Oh...and I'm on lesson 13of 30 of "Piumsluer's Tagalog". Charmaine will make a 'Pilipino" out of me yet...right mama? :)

I'm anticipating Charmaine's arrival around Thanksgiving.... so I can say "Palangga! Kain tayo!

Best to all of you!
