Well, in 36 hours I will pick up my beloved wife and bring her home, and Saturday we meet with our lawyer to file the AOS. Only us VJ'ers know how difficult this journey is. I can't wait until tomorrow.

See, over the past summer i thought she would be here bye Christmas so i demolished the entire master bedroom and bathroom. I installed a huge jetted tub, bamboo floors in the bedroom and topped it off with all new furniture. On Dora's new dresser is a huge pile of gifts from my family. It has been sitting like this for 6 months, waiting for her to complete it. My 3 children (ages 10,8 and 5) are so excited and have been cleaning the house all weekend. They want it to be perfect for her.

My neighbor will watch the kids as i go to pick her up and we will wake them when we get back with hugs and kisses. Then we will all sleep together in the new bed. I am taking Wednesday off work so we can walk the kids to the bus stop in the morning. Then do NOTHING until school is finished.

I do have one strange feeling. After 14 months (Last Jan we decided to marry) i have been at this stupid computer for hours a day, like some of you. I am trying to imagine what it will be like not NEEDING to be online all the time. Of course Dora will webcam with family a lot, but I will not have to worry about the 6 hour time difference in Hungary ANY MORE. Wow, what a ride.

May God Bless You All,

Jamie,

xxxxx to your wife, finally mate. FINALLY - thank you for being here for me when I needed it also and speak soon, take some time and understand that waking up next to your mate is like a miracle....

Love you and Dora and safe trip to that beautful woman...glad you had the time tho to go there for a week to make her feel at ease the best you could before the interview. Wish I could get out of this USCIS hell, but have that feeling as we spoke about, going to be one hell of a ride.

Having a mate that would consider making that trip is beyond priceless. sighs
