Laura:

I just wantd to say thanks for all your postings on VJ. While I have not replied before - your postings really helped me to not got completely crazy during this experience. Now to see you made it home (which funny enough I grew up in Bergen County NJ and love it there) makes me feel as if it is all really going to end some day soon for us as well. Hopefully, we will be driving to NJ after our Aug 22 interview. My parents still live there and they are taking care of our dog. Glad you got home safely and without a border incident! Enjoy NJ!

Aww hon, that's very sweet.

The process isn't that complicated when you think about it, especially with the help of VJ...man, where would we be without VJ.

I like it here too. Nick asked me yesterday if I wanted to drive when we went out for the afternoon....I told him no, I'm not ready. I'm pretty intimidated by the traffic here. I'm a new driver as it is so I was just getting use to driving at home....

Hopefully soon I'll bite the bullet and get in and drive.

Right now I'm taking a break from unpacking...man I have so much stuff. We are heading for Ikea tonight...(They are going to LOVE us) I have a whole page full of stuff we need to get from there.

:)

Best of luck with your interview on the 22nd and have a happy and safe move home!! :)

Yay Laura's in America!!!!!!

And you're getting married the day after us :)

I'm glad things went so well for you. It was the same with us (but I posted that in my thread so I won't hijack yours!!) except a lot less driving.

Are you doing a civil wedding and will your family be here for it?

Aww Amy, thanks for being such a great friend! :)

How are you?

So... I have no idea how to install msn messenger on this computer...it won't let me....

I've emailed my bro on facebook, he's a mac pro so he'll know I'm sure. When I get it up and running, I'll message you.

I'm enjoying it, unpacking, getting the apartment organized. I miss Nick, he's at work :( Can't wait till he comes home. I'm making lasagna for dinner!!! :)

I remember getting home for the first time and it seemed like such a case of Deja Vu. I had been there numerous times before. But actually being in my own car seemed so odd. I'd always taken the shuttle or taxi from the airport or occasionally gotten picked up.

That sounds beautiful.

We're getting married here next Friday. Since we've had longer to make plans and P's got quite a few relatives flying in from Germany we wanted it to be unusual. My bff got ordained specifically so she can do the ceremony. :)

Take pictures and post them!!!

Wow- a nice Central Park wedding and a Medieval Village wedding! I so want to work at that Medieval Village - it is just a bit too far of a commute!

How lovely for you both.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Hey Laura, I was wondering why you weren't on MSN! :P I'm doing good. Lots of running around, trying to get my AOS package all ready to send in!

It's so cute that you miss Nick already, even though he's just at work. I miss Andrew every single day he's at work! :P I'm always so happy when he comes home at lunch time and then after work! Awesome that you're making lasagna! I'm SO jealous, I want some!

We really do need to plan a get together sometime! I miss ya! Take care.
