VISA!

Great news! Got my visa in today!! Now I'm all set, at least for the next two months. Thank you for all the pr-ers and encouragement!

And more great news - I get to see my family tomorrow! My mom, brother, and grandparents are coming in for the service on Wednesday, and then I'll be headed home for probably around three weeks. Now that we have our visas in, we're working on getting flights booked. This is for real! I'm really about to head to the other side of the world!
