And We're Off!

It's been crazy since the original April 27 2012 application date was moved to May 4. So we had to be a little more patient until The Day! Hubby knew the whole thing ahead of me and he thought that I was just stalling by the time I got home. I honestly had no idea that I was already among the 300 SFV applicants. The email came in after I left the office. The whole process was completed in just 5 minutes and me and about a few other batchmates all made it through! I'm really grateful and relieved that this part is over. Next item on my list: secure, update, photocopy and notarize all the required documents.

So now we can finally work on a more detailed plan. I will definitely itemize all the schedules and tasks and maximize the next days. Hubby and I are excited! Thank God!

Day Before Selection

It's the day before the SFV selection. I've been under a lot of pressure lately which shows in the tension in my muscles. My Neurologist advised me to avoid carrying shoulder bags and backpacks. Stick with a tote bag instead he said. Massage is good. Take warm baths. And use a warm compress to help relax the muscles. It's been a week since I had my consultation and so far, I've managed to stick with a tote bag. I will be sitting in our office massage chair later to see how it goes.

I'm really looking forward to the positive turn of events. It's going to be life-changing for our family.
