rae - i was thinking about what a pain in the ####### it must be for you to still be waiting :(

and what's more, i hardly ever hear you complaining about it...you are a very strong chicky :)

and ps - i want to live in europe eventually, so you're not alone in wanting to leave here...my hope is to get a job there after i graduate in 5 years (eek!) i would be happy with almost any european country, although i prefer some to others ;)

hahaha, I'm over in the Canada forum complaining about it. :lol: Decided to do it over here today instead, I think they are tired of hearing it. ;)

Have I mentioned that I'm tired of waiting?! :clock:

It's nice to hear I'm not the only one going through all this with plans to move abroad. But hopefully you can stay long enough to get Adriano citizenship (5 years is enough) and then you'll have more options.

so thats why you seem to calm, cool and collected :lol:

yea, we have a sneaky little plan as well ;)

we are hoping to get him dual citizenship (albania-usa)...we are also hoping that albania will become part of the EU within coming years (looks like it will happen relatively soon, but theres no telling exactly how long it will be)...this way, we maximize our options on both ends...hopefully we wont have to worry too much about crappy visas and other immigration hoopla!!! *prays to god*

Sounds nice :) As long as you are happy and together :D Maybe he will fall in love with the place you will live at and won´t ever like to go back to Canada ;)

hahaha, yes, that's my sneaky plan.

No, I mean, I doubt it, but that's okay. I really am happy just being wherever we both are. :wub:

how could he not love carroll gardens?!

I think that's a smart plan. :yes:

Scott does love Carroll Gardens (I knew he would when I found my apartment there), he just doesn't like NYC on the whole. Some people just aren't down with what's hip, I tells ya. ;)

I am sorry!!!! So sorry! I mostly post from work so I forget! I will try this weekend, but no guarantees since my computer is currently disconnected due to the major home renovations to get it ready for sale! I think we will reconnect tomorrow or Sunday at the latest!

What you really should do is flood me with PMs to remind me! :lol:

Ohhh - student life sounds blissful - I just don't think I am clever enough ><

hogwash

Well I already have my BA and to do a MA and PhD as well... well I just don't think I have it in me >< Besides - I kinda want to go into something different but we just won't be able to afford it if I went back to college...

I mean how can you enjoy working all year round just to look forward to having 1 week of vacation or something?

You can't. :(

Yeah - these are my sentiments too - I figure I am just going to have to find a job I *really* love... Or set up my own business :) Then I can have the holidays I want but hopefully I will enjoy my work enough that I won't need to have too many :) And I can take my work with me if I need to :)

And what´s more, how are we supposed to use the 1 week vacation if we wanna see our family that lives so far away (spend 2-3 days travelling and flying and 3 days with the family I guess). Plus where is a week for spending vacation as a family with your husband/wife? :(

Yeah - this freaks me out too :(

Hello friends!

I've been off the radar here for awhile since Peter got here. He's safe and sound and getting settled in our new home together. It looks like everyone else is getting settled too and we're all muddling through specifics like driver's licenses and looking for jobs. Peter and I went the the social security office this week...he was so cute...all giddy and feeling excited about doing something 'so american'. When we were done he was over the moon and all I could say was...'congratualations, now you can pay taxes WITH representation!'

We got our marriage license, and we'll be married in two weeks from today. We've been very busy getting re-acquainted with one another (It had been 9 months since we'd seen eachother face to face), so I haven't even been on the computer or talked to my family much.

I hope everyone is doing well and are all on track. I'll stop in a bit more often to give Peter a break from me...(er...me from him....he's been following me from room to room since he got here....such an adoring sweetie! haha! )

Take care all!

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Oh that is sooo cool!! You excited about the wedding? It's so nice that most of us are on our way now :)

awww, that sounds so lovely! :)

Aww - what date do you actually enter the US? Is he there with you now or not yet? Ohhh I want it to be my turn, if only to stop this horrible gut-wrenching nervous feeling :(

Ah well - back to filling boxes... can't really call it packing yet - it's more sorting out what I want to keep and what I don't :lol:
