Well today the fiancee went to the post office and mailed off our I-29F!!! So happy to be finally starting the long process of waiting! I know the waiting is going to drive me insane as most of you can prolly relate but I know that everyday apart is just one day closer to spending the rest of my life with my soul mate :D

"Though miles may lie between us, we're never far apart, for love doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart."

"When you feel alone, just look at the spaces between your fingers, remember that in those spaces you can see my fingers locked with yours forever."

"Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be."

"To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail. If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever. Distance is pure proof of this, and forever we will love if we survive."

Thank you so much we are both excited to get on with it but I know the months of waiting will be hard but hopefully I can make it over there for some visits (since he is not allowed in Canada) and don't get denied at POE ...

Chicago and the burbs are lovely - what a wonderful place to be calling home.

Ahh I am sure I will at some point venture over to the vent thread other then to read, I know what I am in for and know that this process will take sometime to get through.

I am looking forward to the journey and getting to know you all a little more ;)

Oh my Chicago and the burbs are so amazing I can not ask for a better place to start our new lives together.

Congratulations!! I wish you a short journey. Where do you cross the border when you visit? I'm in WI so I wonder if we take the same route.

I don't drive out there as I do not have my licence lol. I fly out of Toronto and into O'Hare. When we drove to try to come to Canada we were trying to enter at lexxington?? Near Sarnia
