I feel like Im going to be pregnant FOREVER..... UUUGGHHH!!! lol

We are having a girl!! Her name will be Mia Grace. :) Her brother and sister are more than anxiously waiting for her, as are Scott and I!!

We moved into our bigger apartment, which is SO nice, but we found ourselves wondering how we had all the stuff that we have crammed into a two bedroom as we were trying to get it in a three bedroom! It was interesting!

Looking at going back to OZ for a visit next summer, which seems SO Far away, but that way the kids will be off school, Scott will be off work and the only one that will have to miss work or school will be me!

Its hard to imagine a year ago I was sitting around getting ticket because everyone else was getting NOA2s while I was still sitting there, and now Scott is here. We miss Australia TERRIBLY, but are just plodding through, and he is really enjoying it here in the states, which is a good thing!

Next up, he gets his drivers license.... EEKS!!!!!

Matt, congrats on the baby news!! I miss you all!

February 13, 2006:VISA APPROVED!!!!

November 18, 2006: Mia Grace is born

May 30, 2008: 10 year Greencard approved

kath,

i think you might be right. :D i had to go to cleveland a few times...once for the EAD bio...once for the AOS bio...once cause i didn't get my EAD in the 90 days...and lastly for the AOS interview. the bio appointment is for the fingerprints and photo for the green card and/or EAD. the other interview should be for the AOS/green card. the job is going well so far...can't wait till i start making waves with security issues!!! :P

mellie,

glad to hear everything is settling down for you guys and that scott is adjusting well. the drivers licence is easy.

take care.

matt

OMG Mellie. I am so glad you stopped in to say hi!! Glad to hear all is well. We miss OZ also but have booked tix for xmas. I am leaving on the 20th of December and coming home on the 2nd of Jan. Not that long but he can't really take off work for that long.

We also got tickets to the World Cup cricket!!! Sooo....we are going to St Kitts in March to watch Australia beat South Africa :) We are relaly excited but worried about money a bit.

I am so happy for all those aussie-american babies on their way! That is so awesome. i can't wait!

Matt - we are indeed boring. I don't understand how the other regional forums can remain so active!! I mean, we have lots to say...right?

Stewart has to pay his fee in NC to unsuspend his lisence from his DUI last summer (whoops...) but once he does that, he is getting his new FL one soon.

That's all in this neck of the woods

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

Well I am sure you all heard the news. The aussie icon, Steve Irwin, died today in a freak accident with a stingray. Although I thought he was a bit a dill, I always thought of him as "untouchable" when it came to his exploits with wild animals.

RIP Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter. :innocent:

Yes very sad about Steve Erwin. An annoying larrikan but a good man. He did so much for our wild life and he and his family seemed to share so much love. Maybe a case of you don't know what you got till he's gone. Very sad news.

Yeah sorry, I am guilty of not checking in so much. This computer of Andrews is so slow and the keyboard so broken I can hardly bare to get on here and use it. Very busy and still sewing his shirt. Have been unwell mostly since I got here.

Well getting "Handfasted" this Saturday. $10 rings and now no Wedding dress. Had to spend that money on Vet bills for a cat. Oh well we have lots of love to go around so all's well. Kathh have a new Hotmail address now so will write soon so can finally get those pickies off yah.

Take care all and promise to check in more after the wedding.

Stella.
