He's cleared!

I am happy to report that my husband doesn't have a record! :-) His GBI report came back today and we are good to go! The home study agency should be sending me my copy of the home study along with everything I need for my dossier by Friday. I'll then turn around and send copies to USCIS to complete our I-600A application. And then we wait for a month or two or worst case, 3. My fingers are crossed for 4 weeks. Maybe we should start a pool to see who can get closest??

I did paperwork all day today. I'm happy to say that all but 4 documents are completed! Completed meaning checked by the agency, just waiting to be notarized. I typed up a nice cheery note tonight for my Dr's office. Included samples of the form, instructions and all of that good stuff. With any luck they will just sign them and not give it a second thought. I know I'm dreaming, but dreams do come true!!

In other news, I let Alex drive to school today. On the highway. In rush hour. I'm becoming my mother's daughter. Apparently I was trying to use an imaginary brake on the passengers side of the car (aka the dashboard) while we were headed from the HOV lane over to our exit. My mother used to grab at anything she could find when I was driving. Once I had my license she would sit behind the drivers seat so she couldn't see anything. That is SO going to be me. I made an executive decision to not let him drive in the mornings unless I'm able to top off my coke with a shot or two of rum. I was SO unnerved by the time we got to school. That unnerviness (not a word, but it should be!) continued on once I got to work, backed into a parking spot and ummmm... yea... HIT the steel cables and concrete pillar. Please keep in mind - I DO have backup beepers that beep faster and louder as you approach things. I must have been on Mars because they didn't stop me from backing up until I heard a big "THUD". Fortunately those steel cables kept me from doing any major damage. I have one little dent in my bumper where I hit the concrete pillar. The other good news is that the parking garage did not collapse.

Kaylee (Alex's sister) came and spent Saturday night with us. Oh how nice it was to have a girl around!!! We went to target, bought some flip flops, made brownies, played some games and then decorated our flip flops with ribbon. It was so much fun! She was in great spirits and seemed to be doing really well. Alex was pretty good with her - had his moments where she got on his nerves, but that's what sisters are for! Here are a few pictures from the night (Pic 1: Kaylee licking the brownie spoon - someone is a bit of a ham! Pic 2: Kaylee and Alex. Alex has Kaylee's headband on, not by choice I'll have you know! Pic 3: Our flip-flops! Hint - I'm definitely not the one with the blue toenails! She wears a size 8 and I wear a size 6. Weird.)

Needless to say we had a great time...

Off to bed now - another busy day tomorrow!
