@tucson chick...

CONGRATULATIONS to your US arrival, I hope u will find yourself and wont feel lost for too long... Maybe you will already feel better if you find yourself in the house a bit... so you wont feel like a guest much longer...

@aly...

good luck for your wedding. It feels so good to hear positive stress in your messages.. Cant wait to see your wedding pictures..

@ debz...

I hate this sorting out stuff as well, there is soo stuff that I like to bring over but... oh well...

[weedebz 0]

such a pain...having internet problems again. This time not router, this time it's my ISP. I'll be around just not much until it's sorted. Suppose it will give me more clearing out and sorting time.

Thanks for the POE report, TucsonChick. It's a shame they feel obligated to mess with people, or whatever it is that causes such stupid statements. Maybe they just like to see if they can rattle people.

A drunken Russian man on the plane, huh? YUCK!

Welcome to the USA!

PMT/PMS - I have been sooo emotional the last couple of days. Yesterday Marty told me things are only stressful if you let them stress you out. So, I will try not to let 2 (easy) jobs, wedding-planning, leaving-do planning, the lack of a marriage certificate or an Oz police certificate, an imminent medical, moving to a new country, or the United States Immigration Service stress me out anymore. Or the fact that I don't have enough money for any of it! At least, I'll try my best. I have been reading about Aly's journey over to the US, and I was in tears! I am preparing for when I get to be that happy!!!

The reason for the increased emotion? I am stockpiling my contraceptive pill!!! I figure I wont see Marty for a few weeks, so I have stopped taking it so that I have a few months in the US where I won't need to worry about finding a doctor. Hopefully!

P.S. Does anyone find themselves touching wood alot? (and I mean the type that comes from trees) Every time I tell people my hopeful emmigration date, I feel that I am tempting fate. I never used to be so superstitious...

Lisa..I just read you timeline. We getting married same day!!!

Boy or boy, will I be glad to see that day!! Afterwards, we can keep each other entertained online. What the hell are we going to do with ourselves? I keep telling people I'll start popping out the babies, but in reality, I am soooo looking forward to the sunday where Marty and I go to the supermarket, make sunday dinner, and then sit around knowing there is NOTHING we should be doing, and nothing major to worry about. How nice will that be?

[weedebz 0]

that's what I'm looking forward to also. Just having a "normal" life without having to worry about various applications for basically permission to be together. ahhhhh bliss!

i did garden-work today. bought kitchen herbs and planted them and stuff.

after cleaning the mess i produced in the process of planting i will look for jobs and stuff.

the yard-work felt really good, a piece of normality.

we'll have our Justice of the peace-thing tomorrow evening and i would like to send off the stuff for AOS monday. it's haunting me.

*seeking normality*

Well guys our visa was approved today!!!!!

So I have been really busy with wedding plans the last couple of weeks. I bought the bridesmaid dresses!! I decided on purple and Ivory for the colors. I have been working on my vows, and I think we have decided to go with a small wedding chapel wedding. Since ours is so small we can have up to 50 guests for $445 and the chapel is already decorated and they provide the minister. All we have to do is show up, get married and take some pictures. Not to stressful and serves the purpose. I am all about stress free as much as possible.

Okay sorry for rambling about the wedding plans. Just dropped by to catch up and let you know we got approved and just waiitng for the visa now.

See you soon.

Cheryl

Hi everyone. Just catching up after being away for a couple of days.

I see that a lot of congratulations are in order! A LOT is happening - it's great.

Phil received Packet 3 today and is going to bring it here on Thursday so we can go through it again together. We have already filled out all of the paperwork - just need to put it together and send out the couple of forms that they are requesting. It's coming very fast now. I can't believe it.

I was actually hoping that he could be here in March but with his class reunion in April, we will wait so he can go to Bangkok for the reunion and come here on his K-1 in late April. I have decided not to go to his reunion as almost 40 hours of flying time in about 4 days will be too much - not to mention the HOT weather in Bangkok. Yuck - I don't want any weather like that of Figi. Never again! I will go to the mountains or Alaska for holiday. LOL

He is going to move into the house that he purchased in the UK and get it ready to rent and is also changing his retirement date from February 29th to March 31st. As for now, that's the plan.

We are actually both so much calmer just knowing that we have the NOA2. THAT was the relief that we needed.

I am hoping that Aly and Jeremy are hitched and happy at this very moment. I see that Julie is getting married next week too. Awesome! Congratulations everyone!

CBR - How is it going? Any news?

[lisalu100 0]

Has anyone heard from Aly yet? Oh, I hope it all went well...

[KGSodie 0]

CONGRATULATIONS Cheryl! Wonderful news!

[weedebz 0]

she's probably hungover from too much wine!!!!! Either that or......well she's a newlywed!!!!

Hi everyone. Just catching up after being away for a couple of days.

Oh i'm so glad things are moving in the right direction for you. I wish I had packet 3 though! CSC are dragging their heels AGAIN! Anyway, I am just pleased that we are all progressing - save CBR. I haven't heard any good news on that front yet but am keeping my fingers crossed for her that it will be soon. The celebrations are going to be HUGE when that approval comes through!

I can't wait to hear from Aly

[bakofoil 27]

NVC got our case yesterday! I am so relieved again! I can really be a part of this group now
