"Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here"

BIG Day again.  For those who have not caught onto my theme yet, it's from my favorite Beatles song of all time, "Here Comes the Sun". I am trying to figure out how to link the song up to this blog.  So getting back to our BIG DAY, we mailed our I-800 application today, this is HUGE because it's the last US Immigration approval we need and it does seem like years to get this officially mailed.  Once we get our 800 approval (2-4 weeks) then all our original paperwork heads off to China and then we wait for our Travel Authorization (TA) which I believe is when we get the dates of travel.  We are still beaming and feel truly blessed that it's moving as fast as it is.   There is still so much paperwork in between we have to do on top of getting her room done.  Today we got all three of our passport size photos.  Paul and mine will go with our Visa Application and Yao Sha's will go out with DS230.  I know this is probably silly but I got all teary eyed when I saw her face on a 2x2 passport photo lying next to both of ours.  Look her passport pic below, she's very delicious. 

We are off for a mini vacation with the family.  We are celebrating Colin and Cheryl's (Paul's brother) bridal shower.  I guess I should start saying"Uncle Colin and Auntie Cheryl" :):):) Good night for now and please continue to keep Yao Sha in your thoughts and prayers.  She needs strength and guidance during her transition.
