horray!!!

I knew I could count on you, Debz!

Whew! I was gonna say "2 bits!"

Oh, how I envy you. You'll soon be in Nebraska, land of the corn, cows, and snow. Wait, I'm already in Nebraska. Never mind!

I can't even begin to tell you how lucky you are to be moving to Nebraska. Seriously I can't. Kevin's here. Ask me in another thread.

Ok - it's some crazy time in the morning and I hate laptops!!! BUT I am lying on my tummy in bed after keeping Jeremy up from about 5am cause I couldn't sleep. I was up for about 28 hours so I really should be more tired but my body is telling me it's lunchtime now

Congrats to those who are on their way! By the way, I'm checking in and claiming my snowflake beanbag chair, since we are expecting about 10 inches of snow tonight!

LOVE your beanbag!! It is sooo cute and looks adorably fluffy!!!

just to let you all know, Aly made it through immigration. Got a text from aa american number..presuming it was Jeremy!

Yeah debz - it was Jeremy!! Ironically enough I got to Dublin and couldn't get through to anyone in the UK so ended up having to call him at 2.30am PST so *he* could let people know!!! I asked him to contact debz and gave him her number (hope this was ok - you can add his numnber to your phone now if you want!!!) but I didn't realise he didn't say who it was from - he just wrote a generic message to my mum and sent it to her as well!!! But yeah - I got through fine and spent 90 minutes on the plane writing up a report which I will type up in the UK forum later and link to here Will give me something to do when Jeremy is in work

So what is everyone's plan, after they receive their visas? I know some people are waiting before they leave for various reasons, and others (like Natasha and I) are planning to leave right away.

Well I am moving hopefully June 30th. My mum's 50th is on the 25th June and we are looking at having our UK wedding reception on 28th June. I didn't want to miss my mum's birthday and the few months in between (looking at a March/April interview - don't really mind when but sooner rather than later would be good so it is one less thing to worry about!) will be good for organising my life

Excellent news, Debz, thanks for sharing! Now she can stress out 'normally' over the wedding...

Hahahahaha - already freaked out in big sobbing mess about speeches this morning at about 5am... that's why I am online - we were looking them up and how it is all meant to be traditionally done...

Jeremy is now using my @$$ as a pillw for anyone who is interested

i will leave 10 days after my interview (tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

as i already had a J1 3 years ago, i knew how the visa would look like, but what blew me off was Erics name on it. i was feeling VERY dependent and akward at first.

Agnes I know!!! I was thinking about you and hoping that I could catch you in time to wish you luck and hope everything was all ok - I need to make you a certificate as well!!! I don't know what time your flight it but know it is 1530 in Germany right now so I may have missed you Ah well - make sure you drop us a note to let us know how you get on!!

Ok - time to try and get more rest... will check out what I missed when Jeremy is at work (and I have been out spending his money at rite aid )

See, we knew you'd make it! Enjoy your time there, and you'll be posting photos of the wedding, right?????

[StillThePrettiest 3]

so nice to hear from you, lovely Aly

great news about everything... you'd think all the successes this bunch has had recently would mean that we'd all learn to stop stressing, but will we? will we hell

[mox 298]

Welcome "home" Aly, I can't believe you're only about 300 miles away! Hope you're having a wonderful time, and for god's sake remember when crossing: LEFT RIGHT LEFT!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Glad to hear the good news, Aly! So, was it hassle-free? What questions did they ask you?

[weedebz 0]

So what's the deal with this 'box' everyone is always trying to think outside? I mean, the 'box' doesn't actually exist, it's just some sort of metaphor. The 'spoon' doesn't exist either, but you don't hear people talking about that! What's so special about this 'box'?????

It's actually a cynical meme being pushed by the spherical container industry.

Ah, Mox just 'gets' me. I'm surprised you let the movie reference slip by without comment.....

LOL oh dammit I'm slipping. Was that Office Space?

Focus on the 'spoon' reference......

Yay! Thanks guys! I feel so much better now - just wedding stress now but that is a nicer kinda stress - a few nerves but nothing too mind-blowing just yet!!

I've been typing up my lovely Dublin Experience which has taken forever and within an hour of Jeremy leaving for work I got two calls - one from his boss wanting to chat and one from our (now ex) wedding planner who is now a guest at our wedding. She had some sad news to say that Susan, our current planner and should-be minister on Monday might not be able to be our minister. Her mom had a massive heart attack and is on life-support that is being switched off this weekend. It's all fine from the wedding point of view but it is sad for her. If she does make it on Monday I think I will cry so hard and give her the biggest hug ever!!

Ok - I should really make some favour boxes now or go sun myself by the pool as it is gorgeous outside!!

Keerk! I know - 300 miles seems a stone's throw away! You going to come over after work? We were going to head up Sizzler and get dinner when Jeremy gets back from work Already been to Denny's for breakfast this morning as well - is kinda like a tradition now Although I have finally found out what French toast *really* is. And now I want to eat it all the time...

Will defo be posting pics as soon as I get my paws on any - will depend on where we grab them from as they prolly won't be taken on our cameras - I think dad is going to send his over so my gran can see them back in England though so maybe I can get hold of them then? Will sort something out and when I get home I will post all of my piccies on facebook then link to them so you can see Hawaii too Yippee!! Ok - I am going to see if I can make these favour boxes outside... though if I do I am not sure how I will get them back upstairs!! Time to go investigate!!

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I refer to the non-existent spoon reasonably regularly... for a while, on another forum, I had it as my sig line

Hi Aly. How is the time difference treating you? I keep forgetting that you're on USA time now. Good to hear the happiness in your voice!
