One step closer

So I just had a call from my boss, he was calling to give an update on some of the requests we had submitted in order to assist us with our move.

Basically, we need to travel to Houston, Texas, to be interviewed for Ashley's VISA; we need to pay for said VISA; we need my ticket home (we'd used Air Miles to buy Ashley's); we need to ship all our stuff home...and some other fun stuff. All of this will be in the ball park of about $5,000.

When he called, he said that he didn't have any problem paying for our travel to Houston, he'll also pay for my ticket and he doesn't see any problem (at least in principle) covering the shipping. I'll be honest, the shipping was our biggest concern as it accounts for the majority of the estimated fees (approximately $4,000); we really needed the help with that.

This is awesome news, and although it isn't answering all of the concerns, it's looking promising, and we got some of the stuff addressed.

We can go ahead and make the final reservations now, and start the application process.

We're one step closer, to coming home; and I'm really starting to get excited!
