WOOOOHOOOOO!!! MY WIFE WILL BE HERE IN MY ARMS AUG 17, 2010!!!!

I sent all the Skype call logs I could find (just shows time and date of call. Not the conversations). I sent the first few emails and a copy of 2 letters I wrote her in the beginning of our relationship. The one question of how the relation was formed was answered with the following:
