LOA!!

After 42 days of waiting, we got our 

Our day was shining BRITE with the arrival of our LOA!

Everyone says that the LOA wait is hard, and it is!  The given estimate for LOA is 60-90 days.  I had seen some go over 100 days waiting, and then I had seen some come in in less than 40 days.  So you have no idea what to expect, and that makes it hard.  You also know that after LOA comes, the remaining steps move on a more specific timeline.  With all the uncertainity with the LOA, I felt like I was on a daily rollercoaster.  My hope would grow that the next day it will come, only to plummet to the bottom when the late afternoon arrived and there was no phone call.

Glad the LOA coaster has come to an end, and we can look ahead and prepare to travel.  Ava we're coming!  We should be traveling in the next 2-3 months.  Latest trends on the remaining steps can put us there in 2-2.5 months.
