(Yes, I'm restoring my house..... You can watch that progress also at: www.theoldhousejournal.com)

Well, it's just me - Cian (Larry) doing the talking, but Siân is here in spirit, eh?

Siân and I met last year on a message board. I was a moderator and had been a member of the board for 6 or 7 years; she was a newbie. lol We read each other's posts and developed mutual interest (which we didn't know about at the time...). Later, she joined my message board as well. She asked for permission to access one of the restricted forums, I replied, she replied, ad infinium and we just never stopped talking to each other. We haven't missed a day yet; even when she was in Malta visiting her parents.

Siân (her real name) lives in Sutton, Surrey, England. She flew into CVG (Cincinnati) on April 2nd to visit me. She flew back home on April 13th. She has a 12 year old son (and a job), so 11 days during school's spring break was all she could do. I proposed to her on April 5th while we were out in the middle of the forest, standing on the edge of a cliff. No, it wasn't coersion. LOL She obviously said yes, or I wouldn't be posting on this forum. :P

The I-129F was sent yesterday - Registered - via priority mail, to the Nebraska Service Center. Our countdown has begun.

Larry

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
