Certification Of Documents

I did it! I traveled to Sacramento All By Myself. I was so nervous. It has been years since I have done anything alone, let alone get on a plane. So here is how my day went... I arrived at the airport without a reservation since I was going to try and use a voucher. I made it on the 7:15am flight. I've only been to Sacramento once and Dave drove. I did remember that parking downtown was difficult, so renting a car was not an option. I didn't want to take a Taxi due to the cost. While I was searching for options I noticed that the Bus would pick me up right in front of the terminal and drop me off approx. 3 blocks from the Secretary of State building. This seemed like the most logical way to travel and it would only cost me $3.00 round trip. In my mind I pictured Senators and Congressmen on the bus with me. Surely since I was going to our State Capital it would make sense that only officials would travel there. NOPE, it was a regular bus. But it was still a great decision. I think the bus driver could tell I was nervous (clinging to my cell phone and my Google map) so she explained that she would tell me when to get off the bus and show me where to go. Once I was off the bus I made it to the office without any problems. I only had to wait about 30min for all my documents to be certified. Everybody was so nice and helpful. I was done by 10:30 and my plane didn't leave until 4:30pm. I decided to sight see for an hour or so, then I went back to the airport changed my return flight and was back at home by 3:30pm. What was I so worried about? Today could not have gone better. I prayed so hard asking God to walk with me so I wouldn't be alone. He answered my prayer. I had such a feeling of peace and comfort. Today was a blessed day.

I171-H Is Here!

Our I171-H arrived in the mail today! Oh what a wonderful feeling! This was our last and final paper needed for our Dossier. I will travel to Sacramento later this week to visit the Secretary of State and get my documents certified.
Oh Happy Day!
