WOO HOO!!!

WOO HOO!!! I'm finally landed! We just got home a little while ago from our big trip to Sudbury for my immigration interview at 1:00pm. Had to stop in North Bay on the way to get photos taken...again...and ended up being just a few minutes late. No matter, we had to wait a few minutes for the interviewer to get ready for us. I now have my official permanent resident document and will be receiving my PR card in the mail in a month or so. It's good for five years. I can hardly believe that I'm finally landed! We had no lunch, so by the time we left Sudbury my blood sugar had dropped and I could hardly stand to drive, but we had to get to North Bay before Burrow's closed in order to get chicken feed so we couldn't stop to eat. It was starting to get dark and I don't see well to drive at night due to the glare of oncoming headlights, so I continued driving to Mattawa. We stopped at Myrt's for a celebratory meal before coming home. And now here we are. Got my pjs on and am sitting near the wood stove, full as a tick and quite relaxed and sleepy.

After three long years of frustration, expense and worry it is such a good feeling to be landed...and on Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Free at last! Free at last!...
