OK quick poll, As of yet we haven't told the kids when I'm coming home. SO do we :

a Tell them and let them come to the airport with Shannon?

b Tell them, then make em stay at home?

c Not tell them anything and surprise them completely?

I think option C too :D Then you can have some one-to-one time to celebrate all of your news together and they will be so surprised to see you come through the door :D

So everything was sent in this week by Johny they told him to come back in two weeks to pick up his "packet 4" which will include his appointment card. If it arrives to the post office before that they are going to call and let him know i hope...but i'll have him call at the end of next week to see if it arrived yet...cuz im impatient...right now there is nothing else we can do but sit and wait for the appointment card...I cannot wait until. this is over...it is nice seeing people getting approved, it lets me know there is still hope!

Totally C.

Find a way to set it up so you are just relaxing in the house when they show up. Or, go to pick 'em up from a friends house where they were staying for the day.

NOA 2. Really?

OMG,, Shannon and Nick congrats on the baby, he is so cute, I am so happy for you both, also congrats on the interview .. only a couple more days and you will be together, that is so great. Congrats to everyone else also on medicals, interview dates etc. This must be so exciting for you all. I miss you guys but its hard to read somedays even though I am so excited for you all.

Keith and I still email daily from his work, He isnt living where he can be online now so its just a couple quick hellos, how are yous etc from work. He still says its over and wants me to move on, says he cant ask me to trust him again... shame he wont let me make that choice , he feels he has to make it for me. Oh well Nevermind. I am doing ok, still rough days and horrible nights, I still cry myself to sleep everynight and still sleep with his watch and picture , I know silly girl I am lol.

I did finally find a job even though I really dont care about doing anything at the moment but I have to move on with my life. I do have a gentlemen interested in me, he is older, has his own company and wants to take care of me but he is in Germany and I swore I would never go through immigration again so I am staying strong and avoiding this at the moment. We are good friends and he has treated me so well and been there for me to talk to since Keith left me. He has picked me up and held my hand. He is 13 years older and i know thats not alot but for some reason I have a issue with it. Maybe its because I am just not ready for another relationship because my heart is still with Keith and I do still love him adn would take him back in a heart beat.. I dont know.. time will tell what my future will bring.

Anyways I only stopped by to say hellloooo and to see if the new baby had been born yet , yayyyy for Ryan... Take care all of you and I will check back in a few days to see how you all are doing.

I love you guys

Chelle
