Well it looks like I will not be with my husband four our wedding anniversary in two weeks. I have searched for ideas for possible things to do on your anniversary while waiting for the visa, but have not come up with any ideas. What have some of you did in the past if you were unable to be with your spouse during your wedding anniversary, any gift ideas? or ideas? would be appreciated.

Thanks

My wedding anniversary passed a little over a month ago and my husband and I are still not together either. We have hopes that he will be here soon so we just sent e-cards to each other and talked on the internet all evening. That was about it. I'm probably not the best example though. I hope others can give you some good advice.

Hang in there. I hope you and your SO will be together soon.

We had 2 anniversaries away from each other. Really a gift or flowers really don't substitute being with each other in person does it?

To be honest I think the best anniversary present would be a ticket to Morocco. Maybe not on the anniversary itself, but its just another day anyway. The hopes of being together in a few months always made us happy. I was able to go a total of 4 times before my husband got his visa, and that was the best gift for both of us.

Best wishes to you.

Samira I think just spending some time with him via webcam should be fine. After all, all that matters is you spend time together. :star:

I don't think she would be allowed on a plane in this state of pregnancy.

VJ Hours - I am available M-F from 10am - 5pm PST. I will occasionaly put in some OT for a fairly good poo slinging thread or a donut.

After the birth. It's hard to be apart, I totally understand. But the expectation of the future time together sure does ease the sting. Besides I am sure a party to celebrate the birth would also be something to look forward too.
