I haven't posted very much lately but I wanted to chime in and share with you all that one year has past and we will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary this sunday

I want to extend my thanks to everyone here for the support I recieved both before and after going through the Visa process. There were times when I didn't think I was going to make it, and probaly wouldn't have if it weren't for you all.

Much love to you

Pam

It isnt that, it is just my ex of ten years, may he rest his A$$ in peace, really did a number on me, we were engaged, and have two children together. Well in our ten years together, not only did he cheat, have a kid outside of the relationship, gamble money, and get his car repo'd that i was helping, or so i thought pay for. Mentally, he did a number on me, and years later i believe i am the better for the experience, because you live and you learn, during the time, he was stressing me out, i worked two jobs, raised two kids, finished college, got my social work license, moved, bought a new car and started doing me. I have been very independant for a number of years and at one point had that a man cant do Sh*t for me, as well as being very wary of them and cautious. One thing that i am finding is that being in a relationship with my SO or any man, is going to require me to stop thinking singularly again, and think about how things affect not just me but both of us. It is difficult, and i admit that i have my guard up alot, not that he has given me any reason to feel that way. I just dont want to see him suffer, but i also dont want him to start thinking at any time, that i just " got it like that" because im american. Shoot, if he thinks that is what america is like, he will quickly find out, all the wonderful ways one can prepare ramen noodles, once he gets here So it really isnt a matter of caring about what people will say, just a matter of me, getting inside my head, and overanalyzing the hell out of it...LOL

Hola Fam,

Lawny, my darling...I am wishing you nothing but the best on your interview...I KNOW WILL GUYS WILL GET THROUGH!!! Sending positive vibes your way...You have done your homework and leg work...now sit back relax and let the good Lord guide you through this! Don't let ANYONE at the Embassy shake you...just brush them off!!!

Honey, Baby Girl...you need to ask your SO if he had the time to take his son why doesn't he have the time to take himself? What will his son do without a Father if his tooth is abcessed and more serious than he thinks. Can I tell you a few weeks ago I had a boil in my ears...Ken insisted upon popping it...then it came back the week before my wedding even bigger and more painful!

I kept telling myself I;ll deal with it after the wedding. The next day my youngest son, Gavin fell down and kept complaining about his hip. I immediately found the time to take him to the doctor. When we got to the Dr. Gavin tell her..."I'm fine...I need you to look in my Mommy's ear!" Thank G-d my son had more sense than I did. His pediatrician immediately called the her friend an ENT and told me to go to his office NOW!! He will see you as soon as you get there...Gillian this is very serious!!

I went and low and behold the boil had turn into and abcess and was slowly leaking into my ear canal and blood stream. The ENT told me I would probably have been hospitalized in very serious critical condition if I would have waited until after my wedding!!!

I know long story short...sometimes we as parent are so concerned with taking care of our children we forget to take care of ourselves!!!

One days pay will NOT kill him or his child compared to NO MORE DAYS PAY if something serious happens.

I hope he feels better soon. He's in my prayers for a speedy resolution!

Blessed,

Gill

Honey, your story is much similar to mine. I experienced a lot of the same as you. I'm now much stronger and wiser.

Welcome Dillon and Congrats! Sonshyne

[JaHoney 3]

Gill, i have told him once already, if you dont take your tail to the clinic, baby i just cant listen anymore. I love u, but i cant make you go, so if you want to continue to feel as if your experiencing childbirth, nonstop, that is on you. I wish he wasnt so dang gone stubborn. Gill you were very blessed that you took care of it and still had a beautiful wedding.

Thanks
