We've seen the notary, signed the contract, sent the home study and paperwork to USCIS for updating. We've sent the bank information to our bank and requested the wire transfer to go through.

Looks like we are on our way. I have spoken with our agency about the aparent hold up and they claim that they are not affected. I will have to take thier word for it. It's not like there is much of a choice.

Some things could be more reassuring but for the moment I'm a little stressed out. I need something positive to happen... and soon.

I have folded my 1000th paper crane, now I have to wait and see if my wish will come true. By June 20th, if the cranes work, we will have a referral.

If not, I guess I'll fold another 1000. I don't know what else to do. I might even keep folding just to keep the tradition and my hands busy.

Mother's Day (French Culture - the one we celebrate at home) is Sunday. I want to take a moment and get something nice for Florence (Mother in Law) since she will be with us starting tomorrow.

Oh if only ... if only. *sigh* if only something would happen.
