Off Topic Part Trois

[TimandJoyce 1]

*sneaking in...sitting up to the table*...

Wow where have I been????? This is trois? Not sure I even really saw un, or deux! ( that's about all the french I know!! LOL) well, I know a wee more than that, but not enough to keep a conversation going!

Hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend! I'm so wishing I was there now. Oh well, next year.

@ TimandJoyce.

Its our second wedding anniversary today and we're celebrating in style . . . . . . . . . by hanging out at the weather station. He's even letting me release the weather balloon in five minutes. Now if that isn't love, I don't know what is.

It the 4th tomorrow and Chris is turning 36 begrudgingly. We're gonna celebrate that in style too with another weather balloon release.

That's so cool! Happy anniversary, Cat!

Happy Anniversary - I like your way of celebrating! I found it interesting that there is another couple here where the anniversary is one day and the following day is the birthday of one of the couple.

My husband's b'day is July 15th and mine is July 17th. I wanted to get married on July 16th so we could celebrate everything all at once and get it over with. My husband wouldn't go for that.

Hi everyone.. one last check in before heading north tomorrow... I'll be in Canada for a week!! Enjoy the time off from me everyone!!!

Nice! Have a safe trip and happy hols, Emancipation!

Beautiful morning here in RI!! Family is about to go swimming, I'm about to study,lol. Doesn't seem fair.

I'm so jealous. I remember you posting a picture of where you are one year. It was a sailboat through the trees and it looked absolutely gorgeous. At least you're studying in lovely surroundings.

Well, I guess I should go do something now. No idea what yet, though.

Wow...have I got a challenge!!

One of Tim's very good friends is helping with the wedding and reception. She has some great ideas, and with me not there, well, really hard to do things..

Tim asks her what she wants for what she's doing, and she didn't want anything. She just wants to help. But she did say that a pair of Canadian earring would be nice.

You'd think those would be easy to find! I live in a small town, and thought there must be a store that has them! Hmmmm I'm still looking...

I'm going to Edmonton next weekend so maybe I'll find some at the WEM. As long as I'm not too busy on the rides...

It's not a loss if I don't find any, but I thought that it would make her day. Of course we're planning on doing something real nice for her later.

I saw the WEM featured on the TV show "World's Greatest" last night! It was the world's largest indoor waterpark. How exciting! The earrings sound like a lovely gift. Perhaps you can get some mini inukshuk. LOL. Is there a rez anywhere near you, Joyce? Maybe you can find some native art there.

Anyway..... ugh.... I couldn't sleep at all last night so I am absolutely exhausted this morning.

Good morning everyone.

Another beautiful morning here in RI. Went down to second beach with the dogs and had a nice walk. Our dog anna, loves the water. Then had to make a Tim Hortons run!! We depart back to VA tonight.

Of course!! *slaps forehead* It's quite possible she'd love something like that. *slaps forehead again* And my MIL, ( my second marriage ending in death) is part Native!! Yeessh!! Why didn't I think of that! They do such beautiful work!

Hope you have a good day in spite of it all. I know what it's like to not sleep all night. ( Like right before my medical for immigration.... )

Good morning to everyone else!!

Sounds wonderful. I'll be moving to 100 miles inland, so no more beach walks for me! (Well, thankfully Myrtle Beach is only two hours away)

Today I borrowed my fiances car and drove around all by myself! It may seem meaningless but I've been terrified of driving here for the last 2 weeks... the roads are so wide and the traffic is so thick! BUT, I have conquered my fear and now I can actually go do things on my own!

yeah, we're kinda proud of our "roads" here

[Ban Hammer 13,113]

I will everyone!! Timbits for everyone (except Charles) when I return!!!

meanie!

I will everyone!! Timbits for everyone (except Charles) when I return!!!

NO WAY - those are our retirement dollars there charles. They're recession proof don't you know?! Its the only thing in the past 9 months that hasn't decreased in value 40%.

I think charles is on to us. we must banish him from the CDN forum before he learns all of our secrets.

The fiance and I just bought a new TV, its pretty snazzy and jumbo sized... If you're going to do it, do it right... right?

That's what I always say...

I have to share this!

I had posted my Vancouver Consulate experience in the same thread I started about getting my visa. In case you missed it, the woman, Hong, asked what Tim did and I told her he was a retired jeweler. So she asked if he knew where she could find real coral earrings!! She lost one of hers. *Um...m'am?? Could I get approved??*

So, the next day when I went back, I gave her Tim's email, and a note to say he'd be willing to help her out and probably make some. She just emailed him this weekend!! She sounds very nice even in her emails. Asked him how his July 4th weekend was etc, and described the earrings she was looking for.

Tim emailed her back, and said that because of the weekend stores would be closed but he'd look into it as soon as he could. He also thanked her for approving my visa and that we are excited about our upcoming marriage. She emailed back, with a little more detail of what she would like, and stated that she felt that we were really blessed to find each other. Wow!! Wonder if she could be a reference during our AOS!!

Actually, I think she approved me because I had an in with a jeweler that could solve her missing earrings. Too funny!! Bet emails between Consulars and petitioners don't happen too often.
