Today - exactly five years and 364 days after our first visa denial, Pablo was granted a tourist visa! The entire experience seems almost surreal - kissing Sophia goodbye in the middle of the night and leaving her in Michelle's good hands, boarding a bus last night at one am, arriving in Guadalajara at six and spending the next four hours biding our time awaiting our appointment, too nervous to eat, pretending that if we got denied it wouldn't matter - "we'll be fine" - even though we both knew we would be heartbroken.
But today was a good day. My husband can finally come home!
Once we finished our appointment, all we wanted to do was climb on that airplane, get home and give our baby a big fat hug and kiss. So we did.
We have finally arrived at the end of this emotional (not to mention expensive) journey! Today, one day shy of six years from the beginning of the adventure, we had a good day.

Hope we have lots of snow for Pablo! I'm so happy for you guys.
We look so forward to having all of you home for Christmas. WooHoo !
Thrilled that Pablo will be able to join the Crawfords in WI. Happy Snow and Chilly White Christmas for your family!
Awesome! Finally Pablo will get to experience the bitter cold. Make sure he rides a snowmobile! You should also get him on hockey skates.
