An american themed party? Well just remember, all six shooters have to use live ammunition if it's a real american themed party! Glad things are looking up, this whole process is brutal.

ETA: As king I demand that all polish sausages actually be made in poland from now on! Also, as that is a fairly minor demand, I also demand that all french toast remain delicious!

Ooooh! We had a big American themed party when I was studying in the U.K. We played beer pong and blared Bruce Springsteen. Highly suggested!

Well I don't know about the blondeness and tanned skin, but all of my friends own Ugg boots!

I'm going to wear a bikini with the American flag on and my graduation hat; seeing as I may not get to the ceremony. :) Having the party outside since it will hopefully be warm.

What is beer pong? We're already talking about getting Krispy Kreme donuts from a town away just for the party. I'm so excited about the idea of this party, though it will be emotional.

I'm making my next Creative Project at uni about my friends and I'm going to print a copy for everyone before I leave.

Have a great time, Mia and Noah.. enjoy each other and CELEBRATE!

CONGRATULATIONS MIA!

Now we have another girl knocked down. We need Mara, Dani, Habibi, etc approved to top it off.

Just wanted to say thank you for the support, guys and girls. Me and Bill talked on the phone for over 6 hours last night about everything.. I showed him this thread after I explained in my own words how I felt, and we agreed that it was a case of being buried under a mountain of negatives. I was looking at months apart, all of the huge decisions I have to make about graduation and the wedding itself, missing my friends, not having any luck with the job (that was the biggest one, because without that, we can't have a comfortable future).. and there wasn't much positive things going on, I lost sight of the reason for doing this.

I feel a lot better about things, and even when I was explaining things to Bill about why I felt so bad and hopeless, he said he could tell that I still had my sights on our positive future together because I kept referencing the visa process and getting a car/job over there.

We've agreed to do the little things again, as suggested.

Bill has signed up to Facebook so that we can leave little messages and he can keep in contact with my friends and be involved more in our "circle".. we're going to start sending each other little things again, for example I wanted to draw him a picture/comic of everything that makes us laugh when we're together, and he said he's going to draw a surprise for me too.. we're going to try hard to get the money together for a trip in March so that we're not looking at 5 months of seperation.. he's spoken to his mother about other things that were bothering me, i.e putting pressure about having a religious wedding.. I'm going to spend more time talking to him rather than seeing my friends; and my friends are planning an AMERICAN THEMED PARTY for June so that I don't have to focus on the negative parts of leaving. :)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I WAS SO HAPPY TO READ ALL THIS GEMMIE, REALLY I TOLD YOU THINGS WILL GET BETTER, COMMUNICATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN A RELATIONSHIP SO KEEP IT THIS WAY :) EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT, HUGS TO YOU

Beer pong is an American drinking that wikipedia can explain in much more detail than I ever could:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_pong

When I was in the U.K. for the year- I was asked 2 questions about being an American on a weekly basis.

#1- How on earth could you yanks have voted for George Bush TWICE? (I wasn't old enough to vote!)

#2- Do you guys really drink out of those amazing red cups at parties like they do in the movies? Yes, yes we do.

Hi Gemmie,

I am a November filer. I was reading your posts about Bill having problems finding a job and was wondering if he had looked at temp agencies like Kelly Services or K-force or any of the other ones. I am not sure what Bill's line of work is but temp agencies are always looking for people and the good news is that a lot of times companies will hire people has temps first... test them out and then hire them on as permanent employees. I have a feeling that this will happen even more so now that the economy has tanked as the companies will "test drive" people before giving them a permanent position. Just an option that I thought I'd mention :)

Regarding the American themed party... have a blast and make sure to play Beer Pong and Flip Cup... those were big games at the college parties I went to (long time ago, but I think people still play them :)).
