Not much going on here Liz.

Keeping an eye on VJ and hoping we'll get a touch or some movement very soon.

Right now I am bored out of my mind, still having troubles with my arm and not able to work. Therapy twice a week now.

See if that helps.

And decided to get active again. A friend of mine wants to stop smoking, to keep it up, she wanted to start moving.

Told her we would do it together. Not physically but though the internet.

So I hope to get back to running and get in shape. Gained a lot of weight this winter and I would like to look good this summer.

As for Igors list, we finally are into the 200 somethings.

Glad to see it moving again.

Hi everyone!

I can't remember if I already posted here.. :blush:

But I'm from the Netherlands (Zuid-Limburg) and my fiance is from California :)

Hi Stormbringer!! Welcome to our little hideaway! :D

I see from your timeline that you are moving fast in your journey!! Good Luck in the rest of it!!

Peet - I sure hope the therapy helps!! I had it after my knee surgery last year and it made a huge difference! I'm with you on the weight gain. I had been doing good until my injury and surgery....I'm back to doing my walking and my workout though so I hope I'll be seeing a big difference over the coming months!! I've got a loonnnggggg way to go though..hehe!

Hugs, Liz

Still lurking, but no questions anymore since I am just waiting for the month and a half to fly by until my interview. Looking at cars as my GMC sierra needs trading in soon. I think I'm going for a Nissan Murano or something like that...who knows, but it keeps me busy!

Moved back to my Fathers since 2 days ago, so faster internet, but no jobs around here, so money is tight right now!

Still no NOA1 here yet Liz. They've had our application for a week now, so hopefully we'll be getting it soon. Then I'll finally be able to get an estimate of when I could possibly get the visa :thumbs:

I've just been anxiously waiting for any news, even though I know I still have such a long way to go :lol:

It will be the 16th soon Jeanine.

LOL, you will know more before we go over for a short trip to the US.

Am having a really hard time to be patient here.

It looks like it may be so close for us, but am also reading about those people who are for some strange reason waiting for more than a year already.

And in the meantime...... :pop:

Hey Liz, those are pretty, didn't know they were typical for Texas?

I recall having them in bouquets over here.

Wow Jeanine, that is going fast.

Can imagine getting nervous a bit, I would be also.

But you will be fine :D

No movement here, I wish.

Would be nice to have something to show for finally.
