I just got back from the post office.  What was I doing there? 
SENDING OUT IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK!!!
Yay!!!!!!!
I got the last package from Matt that I was waiting for today.  It had his photos and his copies of the biographical information in it.  Which means that with the exception of my photo, we had everything we needed.  So I went to dad's house, made copies of everything so I could have an identical file of everything I sent them, and then headed to the camera store to get my picture taken.
Then, off to the post office to put it in the mail.  The guy asked me if I needed insurance on it, and I said no.  The only thing worth value in there is all the time and effort and backbreaking sweat that Matt and I put into doing the whole thing!
And now we wait.
