7 days Aubrey...can you believe it? You were the first to post here and probably the last to get married. Crazy.

Thanks guys. I told Andy to do his best to look at his I-94 he receives for accuracy. I already know he's going to be a zombie again, so I just hope the people at Salt Lake get it right. He has a really long layover, so he can just take his time at POE and stop for dinner before the last leg.

It's like waiting for Christmas morning when I was a kid.

Salt Lake? Is he coming from Paris? How much of a layover?

It's funny it takes us like a month to get a page of posts.

Hamburg -> Paris -> Salt Lake City -> Spokane.

He has ~5 hours in SLC... which is a lot, but was unavoidable. I'd rather have him there longer than worrying about running to the next plane. I told him to set his watch alarm though, because last time he had a lengthy layover he nearly missed his flight.

These last few hours are making me crazy! I went over a friend's house tonight to try to get my mind off of it. I am just so damn excited!

Today is the day Aubrey!!!! Congratulations!!!! Together again

Soooo...lil update on our "situation" Johny is redoing his medical in the united states next week....hopefully we can get him a ride there because I am back to clinical next week. Would have made the appointments for this week only we were waiting to see if we could get the medical from haiti but the doctor claims he cannot find it so that means we have to do everything again and fork out a couple hundred more dollars to this damn process. He did get one of his friends to send us one hundred dollars which helps but whatever i guess. But good news we should be able to send out the RFE medicAL EXAM and vaccination exam next friday. this whole process stresses me out and just talking about it turns me into a shout. Johny is a saint for understanding and putting up with me...

Glad everyones SO are making it to the U.S. very exciting.

Good night everyone been cleaning and running around all day time to wind down and relax.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that Andy made it here safe and sound. He said his POE was smooth and the officer was nice. We'll fill you all in more soon. Today is saved for a bunch of errands.

[Corinthians 7]

errands.

So that's what they call it in Idaho? Good to hear you guys are fine.

Unfortunately, it really was a bunch of errands today. Bought him a suit for the wedding which took awhile since we had to drive to the next town to do so, getting him a haircut, bank stuff, unpacking, going through documents, etc. Then he passed out at 8pm haha. Poor guy is exhausted. I'm guessing he's gonna sleep all day while I'm at work tomorrow.

we've been out of the loop for aaaages! What's goin on with you all??!??!??

I'm (Shan) working now - finally. Nothing special but it's money. We're still saving for aos, but hopefully will have that all filed in the next month... till then Mr. Nicholas is the most amazing perfect stay at home dad there is! Just look at Ryans gummy grinning face! How is everyone else? We see Andy is finally here!!! Congrats!!!!!!!

Are we the last to file for aos??? And is everyone that can make it still up for a 'reunion' next year??

Glad that things are well for you 3! No, you're not the last, at least not so far. Cham (Meri) hasn't filed either, and obviously we haven't since our wedding is in a few days. We'll file as soon as we get our marriage certificate back and his name change court order completed (Nevada doesn't do them when you marry, so we have to pay extra for that ). We decided my name change will have to wait till we're not broke, but his shouldn't wait so USCIS doesn't screw something up.

It's taken a couple of days to feel like this is all even remotely real. It definitely feels good, but it'll definitely be awhile before things feel "normal" again. Almost 10 months of webcam and a half-empty apartment to having him and his stuff here and getting on a plane a few days after he arrives... it's a whirlwind!

I'm outta here for ~week. Looking forward to posting wedding pics for you guys when we get back!

Welcome back....we filed...probably should have waited, financially times are rough and things are not the most stable here. But what is done is done...How is Nick adjusting to our Florida lifestyle?

Hey there! I was just thinking about you two this weekend. Good to see that everything is going well and that little Ryan is healthy and happy. I'm interested in a reunion at some point depending on when and where next year.
