APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[HighwayStar 0]

I am also looking forward to our Fall wedding and our first Christmas together ever! Russell's 30th birthday is also in December (yes, he's a pup ) ...and it will be the first time I truly get to spoil him on his special day. All that is keeping me going! I'm glad you're feeling better about the whole process.

Oh wow, Kim, it seems you have the same age difference as Michael and I have (he turned 39 last July, I am 47). I was also born in December, when I will turn 48 ... Joking, of course, because I don't look nor feel that age, thankfully! Michael was here for his b'day this year, and I did spoil him rotten indeed - he told me it was the best b'day he had ever had! Next time, though it will be his time to spoil me on my special day!

Interesting with the 8 year age difference on this thread - 'er indoors is 8 years older than me.

Cradle snatchers, the lot of ya!

I'm actually 39 in October..so it's 9 years for us.

You just don't understand... I need a younger man!

Seriously, we actually met when he was just 19 and still in school...but still wiser than any man I knew. We dont think about the age differnce at all. We just fit right together.

I hear ya - we don't notice it either. It wasn't like that at first though. When we first met, I was 30 and she was 38 - but she told me she was 34!!! It took 3 months before she came clean and told the truth! She thought I was gonna dump her, but I actually just pissed myself laughing!!

For us it's actually 8 and a half years, with him being born in July and I in December. The odd thing is that my longest relationship (when I was way younger) was with a guy who was eight years younger than Michael, and that I had a couple of short-lived relationships with younger guys too. I tried older ones, but it was a total disaster ! Anyway, he's probably the more mature of us, having been married 10 years and being the father of 3 kids. I, on the other hand, am what I jokingly call a 'professional old maid', very independent, but at the same time inexperienced as regards living with someone else.

It's ten for Gareth and me! I've always liked older guys. Gareth looks younger than he is, when my mom first met him the first thing she said was that he looked very young. And that's good for him since he's a smoker and that is supposed to make ya look older if you've done it awhile. People always think I'm like 16 which angers me (for now anyway!). I'm lovin' my older man though!

Hi All,

Just wondering if any of you are going through the same process as me ( I know I can make myself crazy at times)... But Felipe and I are often talking about "what if", what if he doesn't get a visa. Which often then sparks an argument, just because our life in Chile together would be very very difficult. I think our main worry of him not getting it is because of his two previous attempts to get a tourist visa after we met and he got denied - after his second denial I applied for the fiance visa (the tourist visa was a lot easier to apply for). Also, I worry about every little thing and want to be mentally prepared just in case.... Just wondering if anyone else has any of the similiar issues and how you get yourself through them...

Hello everybody! I'm waiting for Luis to receive his packet... by the way I hate calling the embassy in Peru. Every time I call, they tell me I have to call between 2pm and 3pm and when I call between those hours, no one answers. When Luis called, they told him that they didn't have our application and that it could take 1-2 months to receive it from the NVC!?!?!? I'm getting very aggravated, to say the least. What should I do? They don't even have an e-mail address.

Luis & I are 8 years apart too. I'll be 25 in October and he's turning 33 in November. He acts like an old man too, lol. We're opposites, he goes to bed early, I stay up late. He's much more rational while I'm a little wacky.

Hola Kim!!! ... Nicoxcx, Brian, Graham, Raffaela & Steph and everyone!!!

Tell me how you guys are doing. I've been missing you guys

I figured I'd share something that always cheers me up in these stressful times with you guys -

Sometimes we think 'what if' too. However, it's pretty obvious that we're really together and that this is not fraud so we feel like everything will be ok. I think he is more worried than I am, he's a bit of a worry wart. I'm not going to get myself all worried right now, and I tell him the same thing.

Tell him que 'todo va a estar bien y no te preocupes' that way he will relax. And maybe he'll think your Spanish is cute too!

Hi all!!!

Just back from my 2 week holiday - first time in America- and I FINALLY got to see my sweety after 4 months apart!! It was great (cept for my connecting flight being canceled due to a hurricane and me having to shell out another £200 on a flight with a different airlines- thanks AA for a great 'welcome to America' lol)

I have to say I cant WAIT to go back- but it going to be another 2 months at least cos I need to make some extra cash while i still have a job! And I want to cultivate a proper British accent lol as Im sure I'll be more in demand for a job hehe...(my current accent is a aussie/americanish mish mash!)

Annoying enough- the british embassy had a letter waiting for me when i got back saying i have an interview on the TWELFTH of this month- I specifically sent them a letter with RED CAPS on the important bits asking for an interview after the 22nd!! I guess they dont read anything thats not paperwork!

My fiance is now expressing mailing me affadits etc- its all here so soon!! Got to go get passport photos and copies this weekend and find the American embassy so I know how to get there Ahh!!! Its still so surreal!

Great to see everyone progressing!! Ok, im going to stop typing now as im jetlagging like CRAZY.

Love to all
