I *can* do this and I am sure that as soon as we get a place to live I will feel so much better, even if I am still scared and nervous about things. And then, once I move, it will be done. No matter how I feel before, once I have taken that step then things can only get better, right? Because then I will know what I am facing, I will know I am missing my family but I can take steps to do something about it. Instead of sitting here worrying before I have even taken that step.

I think that's the key - once you're on the move, and something's happening, you'll feel differently I think... you know how much I agonised over leaving London; well, it's not like that's gone away, but I've left now, and I'm in Australia, and it's SO much easier to look ahead and be excited about Dave coming here, and us both arriving there together, and so on and so on... it's the limbo that's the killer, in my experience; you drag yourself around and try to get things done but you're stuck in one reality and all you can do over the coming reality is worry

you're doing well... gritting your teeth and just getting through is a healthy reaction, and perfectly valid (and I like the comparison to a uni placement; very apt )

what you're feeling now is completely normal, so don't beat yourself up about it, but be just as sure that you won't feel like this forever

and it's all going to be GOOD

Thank you StP... I have had some beer and some wine and so typing is hard but I am sure I will manage

I had a little cry this morning to mum who looked teary as well and she told me I should take my art things. I might do. I mean - it's not like it is an extra 20 boxes of stuff or anything and maybe I will actually find time to use it when I am not working... Either way. The thought of keeping it made me feel a little better

I don't know what I would have done without this place. I think that is why I came here last night. All through this process, this is where I have turned to to vent and b*tch and commiserate and celebrate... and as much as Jeremy tries to understand I don't think he really can without reading through all these posts and getting to know everyone

Marta - I will most definitely meet the most wonderful you as you are reasonably close!! And we are going to have days where we want to go randomly travelling So why not visit you?! I can never remember where in Cali you are though!! I am soooo lame!!

And... just to clarify... Did you call StP a BEAR?!

I need to vent about my husband.

When doing the AOS application the only thing I asked him to deal with was the I-864. I did everything else and the rest of the application was ready to go long before he finished working on it but I said nothing. He eventually gave me his form with all supporting tax documentation, letter from employer etc. and we finally mailed everything off on April 1st.

Today we got an RFE for the I-864!!!!

Apparently he 'never thought' that we'd need to include a W2.

The good news is that it is easy and quick to remedy and we can send everything back within a couple of days.

And he wonders why I'm such a control freak and insist on doing everything myself!

Quite!

And I'm making his favourite dinner tonight - he really doesn't deserve me.

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Haha, I think the first bear is painted on a stone in water

With the RFE it´s not like it´s gonna delay your process too much so that´s great I hope he appreciates the dinner though

yea lately adriano has been getting mad at me for every damn thing i say (or so it seems to me anyway)...he always says im giving him attitude, pshhh, i dont even know what he means and last night we went to an internet cafe, and i walked about 20 feet ahead of him for the the entire 15 minute walk home because he got mad at me for wanting to leave at 12:30 am (because i had to wake up at 7 am) and he wanted to stay and watch more albanian music videos on youtube he's still not talking to me...so this is what married life will be like, hmm?

gotta love 'em
