Hi Vjs..

thank you so much for the prayers.. i really had a nice flight last nigh.. im usually scared of flying.. but having the 13 hour-flight, i got used o the idea... it was actually a smooth flight.. Kudos to the Captain.. GreAt job.. :dance:

.. Here's what happened last night at the POE:

we went first to the immigration, it was along line actually,,,the officer in the immigration was i think an indian national,, but she was nice.. she asked me where and when did my fiance and i met...also how long do we know each other.. got my finger scanned and my picture taken..then i get to have the I-194 attached in my passport.. (it expires on November 06, 2008) then i have to wait for like an hour for my baggage to be in the carousel.. i was able to carry them in and out of the cart (its funny coz they are really heavy) :angry:

then i get to go the customs, i was asked to get to LANE A.. to have my baggage checked, when it was done, i asked one of the guys in there where is next, he said exit.. so i did fell in line for the exit, when the officer checked out my paper.. he said i have to got o lane A,, i said i already did.. he said you are lying... hold on a second??? im lying???? i told him i wasnt lying why would i lie? then i get to the exit of LANE A and told the guy he should put a stamped on it so i would be tagged as a liar..he apologized and did the stamping and didnt checked my baggage anymore im surprise (what if i had other peoples baggage?) hmmm

Then when i came out of LAX after 2 hours, im scared that MIke is not going to be there, so i asked one of the police in there of a ohone booth so i can make a call to my fiance.. but before i got to the booth, mike is coming towards me holding a bouquet of flowers, ballons, and a teddybear with a little bag and some chocolates in there.. (that was sweet of him) i think after that long hauled flight illbe exhausted, but when i saw mike with his new clothes looking hansdome as ever, i cried of relief.. (he told me he got scared that i was about to call him you know and say that i backed out of the wedding and not call me anymore,,) well it was all worth it (so far)

we grab a bite a very quick one and went to his parents house, finally meet his dad.. and find a gift waiting for me.. its a basket of spa things from his aunt.. that was nice of her to do so.. i dont know her yet, but i will meet her tomorrow.. its my FIL-to be's birthday.

by the way just a little update: i got my wedding dress today, with the accessories.. (its gorgeous) i think it was made for me.. heheheheh the MIL-to be paid for it.. thank Goodness... driving around LA is weird.. nothing like the PI, i nmea being here is weird.. it felt weird.. not my turf you know but i hope i van get used to it...

Hanny said i shoud get an SSN before i get married so i can have a job soon (anyone have done this?) thank you so much!

Until next udates guys,, have a good one..
