Day 146-Still not a word

The wait for the case number and interview date drags on. We were calling the National Visa Center every morning to find out how the case coming along. Anyway this morning the NVC system was down with no information. It is frustrating, but we committed ourselves not to give up. I am thankful for the opportunity to go over to be with Catheryn for the holidays. The true test of our relationship is to not let this separation come between our happiness. Family is first and we will work together the best we can until we are united. My love for my wife increases everyday in spite of the separation. We long to be with each other more each time we chat.
