Hey David & Todd,

Great knowing you still remember me!!! David, congrats to you and Onn but as I think about it, I think I knew this information. Just lost it somewhere in the mill. Hope it's a girl!! I my humble opinion, they are the best! I raised 2 so I have a pretty good handle on that end of things. Ying has a 14 year old which I hope will want to come to the US and start her life. It's hard leaving behind friends and family at that age unless you are brave beyong belief.

Todd,

Sounds like things are going for you as well. Ying is wanting a job pretty bad now. She is thinking about an offer from an old friend to stuff envelopes at home for $500/mo. I think I will look on base and see if she can get a start that way.

Tim,

Good luck on the interview. After all of this, should be a cake walk. Congrats in advance.

Sandy,

Congrats on your news as well!! This is shaping up to be the good news side of the journey. Best to all...summer's coming!!

Love,

Dave & Ying (L)(F)(L):luv::luv::luv:

I see! So instead of stressing for Tim for 24 hours, we're going to have to worry for a full 2 weeks!!!

And SailorBoy has finally popped up to let us know he's still doing good? lololol

Daughter and family are here at the moment and the house seems to have taken on a new life! Boy are 18 mth babes a handful .. I had forgotten just how much they can get up to .. or in to!

To those of you who are expecting ... buy duct tape! None of us can get into the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen now .. but it makes for peace of mind!

Keep well and happy .. all of you. Jill

Jill,

You made me laugh. I guess I will stock up on the duct tape when the baby arrives. Then I will be ready. About a month to go, I will post the new when the big event happens.

Take care

She now is saying she wants a smaller car for her :o so I will be selling my 4x4 jimmy and we will be looking at a ... (I wonder if hot wheels would be small enough :lol: ) as she says "a small lovely car"

Hope you all are doing good!

Hey Tim,

Best of luck always, dude! You'll be fine, everything is completed and the big wait finally over. You deserve to see the finish line now. I'll be waiting to hear the "Visa in Hand" news or the "Finally, she's home" notice. Whatever, I want to see this thing done. Take care and best of luck (again).

Tap, tap, tap ...

We want news!!!

Tim's I-130 approval was just two days after ours. What a test this has been for these two.

Our love, hope and prayers continue with you, Tim. Jill & Butch.

Belated congratulations to your wife Toddminc!

Made me smile!! I was wandering round an antique mall the other day and the price on those Matchbox cars was scarey! In fact, I came straight home and counted the ones my stepson has grown out of!!!

Have a look at the Toyota Yaris. I drove one the last 6 years in Spain and it never had a single repair in that time. Had it been on the market when I got here I would have considered it, but was happy I got something a bit larger in the end. (Matrix).

Hey...where's my post???? I posted right after David (but didn't check it to see if it posted, had to run at the time! Bummer...now what was it I said?????

Oh yeah...congrats David and Onn!! Bet Onn's happy that phase is over. Now comes the raising part and with you two together I can only imagine how wonderful a life that will be. Perfect!!!

Tim, my fingers are crossed you'll have a smooth easy transition. How is all the whoopla about illegal aliens fairing with your process? With all that we have had to jump through in the way hoops, I dead set against any illegal aliens staying here, but that's harsh of me and....oh yeah... :ot:

Hang in there, Tim....I will be very happy to see this concluded.

Love to all,
