Hey Cham...how are things coming along for you guys? Any idea of when Kai's interview will be?

well since CUSTOMS help his package forever and FORGOT it he finally got it last week SO mailing it out monday to embasssy HOPEFULLY end of this month he will have one as I am so depressed I have not felt like posting much.

I threw up over not having enough for our wedding about 400 to 500 short BUT we will get it. Our work is donating a sound system for the wedding..I cried so hard as that is EXPENSIVE and the Eagles club is giving me a discount since I sang there forever!! SO we got a place rented for 125 PLUS the kitchen I am STOKED on that..

how goes you???

Aubrey how you doing and how are those who still have no noa2..ANY NEWS????????

love you all!

Sounds like you and I are about equally stressed. You should try some relaxation techniques (deep breathing or something) as it really sounds like you're letting it get to you. It will all work out. Try not to worry so much (I know it's hard, trust me!) -- it doesn't do anything but raise your blood pressure, right?

I'm working on about 5 hours sleep and have 2 presentations today. Have to run to Kinko's to get stuff printed which should've been done yesterday, but I just can't keep up. I'm SO THANKFUL for Monday as it's my first day off in weeks -- no school or work. Trying not to think about the distance, lack of time, and money as it all just depresses me. Andy signed up for job-hunting training to help him have better success, as he still hasn't found a job. So frustrating and I know he cries about it. We're going through a book "1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married" which is proving theraputic, as its asking us lots of questions which remind us why we're going through this and helping us learn some oddities you just don't think to ask about.

Gotta run. Hang in there everyone!

Aubrey and Cham - I hope that things improve for you guys soon. It's good to see that you're feeling atleast a little better Aubrey. We're almost there. I bet that everything will work out with the finances. You're almost done with school and hopefully you'll find a job right away. I'm going to check out the book you mentioned. I've been reading 10 Conversations You Must Have Before Getting Married It's good but a lil too much psychology talk. I'll check out the 1001 Questions...

They said CSC told them to check back in 120 days. However, they told me they would check back in 90 days if I still needed them to; I've been working with 2 people in the Senator's office that have been pretty cool. Cool as in they call me without me riding their butt.

Unbelievable... Well, hang in there, hopefully, it happens way faster than 120 or 90 days. :yes: I'm just shocked nobody can get USCIS to explain what exactly is taking them this long... :wow:

Tonight's my bachelorette party!

Except this week I had two root canals and got a pretty severe gum infection, which means I'm on heavy pain killers and antibiotics- so no big night on the town as planned. Yay for looking like a chipmunk and pretending to be 13 again with a bunch of chick flicks and ice cream. :(

Sorry to hear about your gum problems but at least your teeth wont play you up when you are away, or on your wedding day, and you wont look like a chipmunk in your photos.

Have a great party! Its the people that makes the party Terri :D so you should have great fun no matter where you are or how limiting the alcoholic intake is :D
