Hello everyone, I'm the American fiancee to JohnnyK who has also posted in this forum - although it has been quite some time. I figured I would make an account since he doesn't seem to post much and I'm constantly wanting to! haha =]

Hi Lindsey and welcome to the group! I was wondering what happened to you two! LOL!

How is it all going?

Haha, we're still around! Johnny isn't much of a forum person I suppose, so he never really posts.

Everything is going fine, I've actually been over here visiting him for the past three weeks, but sadly I leave to go back home tomorrow morning. :( Needless to say we're both sad, I hate leaving, I almost think it's worse than the waiting! Anyway, no word on our visa yet really, we're still waiting on our NOA2. We're hoping for it within the next few weeks, but with the government you never know. I've noticed how some visas are being processed within four months, and others as long as 8 or 9. Crazy!

Anyway, how are things going with you?

Nice to meet you too Rianne! =]

Thanks for the best wishes! I ALWAYS cry, it's pretty much inevitable with me. I feel bad for the person that has to sit beside me on the plane haha! They always ask if I'm okay and offer me tissues!

First class must have been nice, wish my tears could persuade the flight attendants to put me in first class! haha :)

Well, we've only been waiting on the visa since March, but we have been separated by an ocean since October of 2007. We take trips and see each other of course, but it's still hard and obviously not enough. I'll be glad when we're finally able to be together forever, no more separation and tears to worry about. =]

Lindsey, yes i know they all asked me if i was okay! LOL! But that time was really bad, the first time i had to leave him not knowing when i would see him, and maybe a deployment etc. so that time could be the last time for a long time but it turned out good, no deployment yet!

Yes that first class was great but i had no idea what happened to me, they said i had to wait, they came back with another boardingpass for me and i asked the stewardess where it was and she said there...i came there and wow it was first class!

I got teased with this so much!

We started in April with our I-130.

I am from Zeeland. Another dialect as Friesland! Can you understand/speak Fries? ;-)

My husband is born in New Jersey they moved to Wisconsin and since he is in the USMC he is living where they send him, so right now California.
