I keep looking at him, wondering if this is a reallly good dream or its real. He is lying there all curled up andI cant sleep...I just keeping brushing his hair with my fingers and looking at how beautiful and angelic he is to me.

He reminds me of the statue of david.I know CHEESY CHEESY

We now have 3 days till we are husband and wife. WOW WOW WOW

They would not let him have his SSI card but gave us paper to take to the Marriage license place so we could get that today...

SO was a lil upset over that but no big deal.

He wrote his mum and dad a letter and as you all know we had past issues because I am older and I am an american.

IF we told them he would have been a nervous wreck and his parents would have tried to stop him and lay a guilt trip

His dad was coming around to it..knowing he was leaving soon but made offers of things they could do so he would stay.

I wont go into details the horrid things they did to break us up because that is they past.

WE received this email from his father

It's Wednesday here and just saw your note. Just gone 3 days since we saw you last and we were just about to start calling the police and hospitals etc. .... been worried something shocking.Looked through the window in case you were sick or worse and the note scared the hell out of me (dad) till I read it. We understand now. We're both relieved to know you're ok. Hope you are safe and well. Are you in the states?

Im sure Brie and Dean will send their regards when they find out. We haven't said anything to Brie yet. She came home yesterday from the coast and we didn't see the need to have everyone worrying. Lets try and forget past problems mate. We just want you to be happy.

What are your plans? If you are in the US, what's your visa/permit status etc. Get in touch with us when you can. Will send you skype details when we've set it up again.

Lots of Love Mum and Dad.

Personally I about fell out of the chair! So he will write them back tomorrow and tell them we are getting married this weekend. I know it is something his mother does not want for him but I think we made leaps and bounds today.

SO we both feel good about it.

ANYWAY as soon as I get the pic back from my maid of honor ( her and her man took me to the airport)

I will show you all the HUG lol

All I know is YEP this journey was long, It was fustrating, scary, oh the list is long, but let me tell you. I would do it ALL over again JUST so I could have my kai home where he belongs.

KOAK WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO 20 days and counting!! I cant wait to see you both back together!

TO those who are still waiting..TRUST ME....when you FINALLY are back in each others arm...this journey will make you appreciate the one you love and YOU both will be so much stronger as a couple. IF we can all make it through this visa #######..we can handle ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there..and heaps of prayers your way

I love you all!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSS

Meri and Kai

congrats to you!! Glad things are going well for you guys. I didnt have to wait 2 years to see Johny but it was 9 months and i also found myself staring at him and he has been here for going on three weeks and I still stare at him. Glad you two are together and happy!!! Best wishes for the wedding!

We are going friday to get social security cards, hopefully shots by next week, AOS stuff is still going to take a lil while to get together but I am shooting for having everything sent out in three weeks, so middle of may im looking at. I didnt want to thinks about immigration for a couple of weeks so I feel that I am behind, but we still have time. Plan on getting a "to do" list together tonight.

So glad you are finally together! So glad that things are moving forward with the family stuff.

Good luck for Saturday, hope the weather will be as hot for you as it will be for us (80oF) as we also marry on the same day.

Congratulations Erin and Johnny!!! The pics look lovely!!!

Pictures are gorgeous.

For the affidavit you don't have to complete the optional questions.

It said nothing about getting the affidavit notarised so we sent it in without.
