Tim,

I hope you enjoy the time with your wife and that when you call they will tell you the date. For us, once we knew the date, the time went a lot faster and the end is actually in site!!!

We are in Juarez now, got in line at the consulate at 5:30, Paolo got in at 6:30 and now i´m back in the hotel waiting. We really hope he gets the visa today and we can get out of here. I need to get home so I can make a dr. appt....we have a little one on the way! :dance:

Excellent news!!!

Sorry I've been so absent but life seems to get in the way!

Tim ... news from you soooooooooooooon please!!

Spring is trying hard to get going round here. I have grow lamps and seedlings all over the house and can't wait to get out. My daughter and family arrive in just over 2 weeks and my mum and sister at the beginning of May .. can't wait to show them around!

And ... my daughter signed a pre-sale contract for my house yesterday!!! It's taken well over a year but I didn't have to drop my original price by much ... about 5%. Anyway I was celebrating last night and Butch spent all evening on the IRS site trying to figure out the capital gains aspect!!

Hope you are all well and happy. Jill

Hey everybody, we finally got our interview date. I have been sworn to secrecy by my wife. It's a shame that some people in her country might want to screw up your interview but that is what sometimes happens so I can only say that the date is at the end of May. We are extremely happy about it though, and I promise I will let you guys know the minute we get the visa!

-Tim

Todd,

How have you been? Did you guys finally get the SS card?

David,

USCIS told me to get a state ID, the state said you must have SSN to get ID.

So I took a day off and we went to the social security office took a number and waited

about 15 min, I filled the form out before we left, the woman took all the info and used her

Thai ID along with her passport, I about fell over! 5 days her card was in the mail,

she is working days and week ends now at a Thai restaurant part time, she says "I can

practice my English then get better job" she is doing good but still misses her local food.

Oh! yes we are still trying but the oven is still empty :(

I hope all is well with you guys "Daddy" :D

YO HO YO HO...A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!!! AVAST YE MATEYS!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

B) B) I'm BBBBAAAAACCCCKKKK! B) B)

How's everyone doing! So sorry I got side-tracked but it's all been great! Ying has settled into the boat and has managed to make it her own. We had her out of the water (the boat you ninnys) for Ying's first yard period. Remember it was on my 4 pages of things to do (that never got done...). We made a trip to Seattle so Ying could meet my daughters (who rarely are in the same place and the same time). Also got to meet my newest grandson. Work has kicked it up a knotch with me going to the day shift at the start of the year. My boss is talking about a promotion for me, but being a contractor, I take that with a grain of salt. Ying is taking ESL courses M-T-W and doing quite nicely. She's turned out to be an expert knitter (I knew she could knit, just didn't know how well). Some of the babes on the dock want her to knit up a bunch a sweaters and sell at the local swapmeets and such around here.

I've read through all the posts and what can I say...I so totally stunned that it's take so long for Tim and Sandy. Holy crapola! Next time you hear me whining be sure to ask for the cheeze because these guys are the real heroes of this journey in my book.

Daniel, yeah...I had the sign up but the guys on the dock said enough is enough and threw it away! So now I just turn the boat around...he he he, nimrods all of them. Thanks for archiving our thread...very cool, dude! :thumbs:

Hey Jill, congrats on the sale of your house. Wow, sounds like you're having a house full of family.

I've have missed you all, seriously...well, time for the boat to start rockin' again.... :devil::devil::devil:

I'll drop back in and check again so hang in there guys...believe me it's all worth it. Who's had the babys? I think I missed that or perhaps just turned space cadet. Take care all.

Todd,

We are doing fine. Onn just keeps on getting bigger. Only about a month and a half before the baby comes. Man how does life change. Just keep trying and I am sure it will happen. Try not to stress I hear it make it more difficult. Just relax and enjoy it, Just not too often, let the little guys build up and may try to time it.

Dave,

Good to see you are doing fine. As for the baby's ours is due on june 7th and Sandy is expecting a child also. From what the ultra sound tech said Onn will be having a little girl.
