Ronel's appointment

Well, I've kind of been avoiding talking about it as it was not the good news that we were hoping for
.
All they called him in for was to tell him that he need to go get another copy of his birth certificate from the archive office. This will be the THIRD one he's had to get. The first had his birthdate wrong and the second was fine as far as we knew so we don't know why (and they didn't tell him why) but nonetheless, Tuesday was a tough day for me (and I'm sure for DH as well) I had finally let myself think about him possibly coming home soon (like April) and to hear that the appointment was just for more paperwork they need was more than a little disappointing. This was the first time I'd even let myself think about him coming home and to have it all just crash around my feet was more than I could handle right now

Thank you all for your prayers & thoughts and I know that one day I will get to have Ronel home, but right now, at this point, I'm just having a hard time picturing that day.

Good news! actually GREAT NEWS!

Ronel has an appointment at the embassy on March 24th! I don't totally know what it is for but someone from the embassy called him last week. Asked him to bring in his passport and some other pieces of identification and come to the embassy! I really really hope this means we are one step closer to being done  :D but whatever happens -- it means that SOMEONE is looking at our file!

YAY!!!!

ok - funny story. When I talked to him today I was talking about my day and Ronel said "I've got some good news" and then stopped. I said "What is it?" And he said "I'll tell you later, finish what you were saying." Well, now I just wanted to know what the news was, and my day wasn't really that important!! So, I finally get him to start telling me the good news and he totally told me every event leading up to it and then paused! I was on the edge of my seat before he finally told me that the embassy had called and wanted him to come in!   I could tell that he enjoyed it a little too much --- dragging out the details and making me wait! But I still love him and can't wait till the 24th so I can find out what they wanted!

Keep on praying!
