welcome back!

The last few days has been super hellish for kai and I ..First a gal at work and I got into it (she is a BOSSY COW gal sigh) then I come home after working a double and my son calls about some old bill of his and we got into a fight. NOW he and his fiance have backed out of being our best man and maid of honor. I am so stressed out over it all I feel like #######. I had to call my doctor because my blood pressure was through the roof.

Every since my son has dated this gal he has changed from being sweet to being super stuck up and snobbish toward us as if they are better then us. her parents put her through school and was babied big time..only child..everything is about her her her..I am so sick of it all.

I want him home and we are NOW thinking on eloping and not going through having friends or family come because of this. It has eaten at my heart to many times lately.

Hang in there, Meri. Family likes to get dramatic, but they'll probably turn around again before the big day.

Can't wait to see more wedding pics. I admit I'm pretty jealous seeing the lovely pics so far. Andy's interview is just a week away, but no idea when we'll actually have the funds to bring him over. After all my family drama over this process, I'm figuring I won't have a reliable co-sponsor for AOS, so that just makes it more important Andy provide funds to make it till EAD. Graduation is not long away now, so hopefully I will beat the economic downturn and find a design job without much delay.

And in other news, this is my spring break, which needed to be spent getting a portfolio together, photographing work, etc. But I'm sick as a dog and haven't gotten jack done for two days. Not fun. And Andy's mom was hit by a car a few days ago and is in the hospital waiting on surgery to correct the splintered knee and torn ligaments she received. Not a great week for us.

For the interview, do I, the American petitioner, need to send my fiance an original birth certificate (ordered online) or can i use the copy of the one i have already? thank you!

A copy is fine and send if u have a co-sponsor their birth certificate too because we did not...but they need it....

Weren't you a teacher in a past life Aubrey? Do you ever think about going back to it just to get Andy here while you look for a design job?

he got the visa in his hands today

[Corinthians 7]

he got the visa in his hands today

Congrats. Why'd it take almost 2 months from the interview?

[Terri and Seb 0]

Congrats!

I hope Andy's mom is okay, Aubrey. Seems like you've been super stressed lately- enjoy spring break while you can!

Returning to teaching has multiple complications (time lapsed, living in a different state, etc). But more importantly, I was a miserable, depressed human being and would never subject myself or my family and friends to that person again. K-12 is not the right place for me. I didn't go 20K+ into student loan debt just to end up back in that environment. I haven't even started my design job hunt yet, I don't finish until May.

Congrats!

Thanks doll, me too. Andy's stress and frustration definitely has been rubbing off on me, and he's trying to be more positive despite everything since he knows that now. It's easier to stay positive when busy, and definitely hard when you're getting nowhere on a goal like he's been with job hunting.

And hopefully this post doesn't sound too oddball. If it does, blame it on the medicine cabinet my doc prescribed me today. The codeine definitely makes me groggy. Did you guys know you can gargle children's liquid ibruprofen for a sore throat? I didn't...

charity&mounssaif -- congrats.
