Happy Wednesday MENA!! (F)

Been a while since I last posted on VJ...but I've got some news to share :)

I just arrived here in the US last Saturday at 4:30 PM.. My 2 flights were long, but it was all worth it in the end! I had a 20-hour layover in London which I enjoyed very much! LOL

POE interview took 30 minutes and the officers were really nice!

Finally met my in-laws and had a nice family dinner on Sunday after two years of IMs and phone calls...I love my in-laws!! (L)

I hope everything is moving along for everyone!

And Happy St. Patrick's Day for those who celebrate it! B-)

Aya

Awww, thank you everyone!! :$

Thank you for all your support through the crazy visa process and all the worries we had!! It feels good to finally be HOME! (L)

Terrie, we are not going to be married before May 1st.. My family finally came to agreement with us 'in a way' they want us to wait until my brother and stepdad get tourist visas and make it here for our religious ceremony.. I hope that doesn't take long..

Amanda, is this our MENA special Amanda? :P I miss seeing you around here!!!

Annie, we would love that!! :)
