I feel you sister, and yes! I agree :thumbs: Btw, I was reading the other posts, don't worry about anything...stay positive even though it's hard at times. Pray alot, put your faith in God. God and your loving man will help you through this process. :star: I am currently stalking the USCIS site waiting for a 'touch' or approval so I've been through what you're about to go through...and looking back it seems like only a month has gone by...other days it seems like I'm counting every minute on the clock. Stay strong, stay positive! Everyone here is wonderful and this site is FULL of info. This site is a Godsend. Hugs to you :D

AWWW thank you so much for the encouragement....and you are right about time flying, but at times, its hard. We just went through hell putting the final touches on our package. We were both so nervous, we bickered alot...LOL now that its out of our heads, we are back to focusing on eachother, but it also gave me the time to remember how much I miss this man....I haven't seen him since april. I was hoping to get over to see him again this year, but I am starting a new job next week, and I won't be able to take time off...not to mention the price!!! Would you believe, we bought a ticket in march to travel april 1 for $398 including tax!!!! This was a round trip ticket. Now, I am lucky to find anything below $900 for the next year....God certainly had a hand in that one! I see you are only a few months ahead of us, so I hope we can chat more! :star:

Iberia's web site. I had one layover in madrid, spain. On the way there, the layover was 3 hours, but on the way back, i had to stay overnight, but I found a nice hotel with airport shuttle for $60 including tax, so really, It was perfect!! I was in rough times having no job for a couple of months, and after searching for a week, we found this price, it was crazy!!!!! We knew, God did this for us to meet, because otherwise, I would not have been able to go visit him.....Everything happens for a reason!

Welcome.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
