Are we there yet?

Almost!

I have a visa!!! My paperwork has been approved. It's not in my hand yet, it's still in Washington, but soon it will be here. And soon I will be there. Which I have to admit, as excited as I am, makes me sad too. The closer it gets, the more real it is and the more aware I am of what is happening. It's not just a far off date anymore, it's a real event. And it's coming soon.
