So I haven't posted here in a long time. Things got really complicated and I decided to take some time off and deal with hubby. For a while he was supposed to leave and then they canceled. He was supposed to leave in early February. Instead they canceled. So there was no rush right. No they came back on the day he was supposed to leave and said your going.
