Yes - at about 7:58 am - today we received an email from the USE stating they have our file and its under review. That's about it - they ask we don't email for 5 days. So next week we should get more details - do they need more, will we be referred to USCIS in Nairobi (yes I heard that's where we go - NOT Rome that was for a special situation last fall) - or we should pass soon. So we'll see.
Yes - this was a test of patience for me. I would think I didn't do very well, if you ask Craig - he'd say yeah she was going crazy. But I did it - I only emailed a few days early last night. Ha. But its still a LOT more waiting to go. We of course fell into the holiday backup - and I was not prepared for that. So it was about 2+ weeks delayed response due to all of that. Lucky for me Craig is very logical when it comes to this type of stuff and keeps me more grounded. I'm blessed to have a wonderful husband! And a great kid.
Anyhow - yesterday was the 9th - a BIG day for the Backus family that went unnoticed. Nate officially is 7.5 years old! And Curt turned 9 months! Yeah - both boys hit a big mark in the year. We'll have to see if Nate can do a Half birthday celebration later this week or just wait till the end of the year? He didn't ask and didn't even realize it happened. He was just excited to go to a friends house after school. He's loving this new routine on Mondays - so thanks to Rebekah and Jason for taking him on with the chaos they have with 4 kids and everything else.
Alright - I can relax a lot more now - and in the next 5 days I can start to go crazy. At least in my mind I've planned for a long wait - so that should help keep me grounded. Its just hard when I have dreams I'm in Addis with my boys!
Have a good day
