I'm very happy today.... Glen presented me with the most beautiful "engagement" ring... yes I know it's backwards LOL, but with the cost of immigration and the move he wasn't able at the time to propose with a ring. We knew all along we were going to get married, so we did! I just didn't actually have an engagement ring. I wore my Gran's ring but it's very old and worn so I don't wear it really, plus it's too big. So anyway, today I was out all day and when I came home, he surprised me! There were roses (F) all over the bed, candles on the dresser, and little cardboard hearts he cut out. In the centre was a box, with a ring inside! Oh and champange too! I was thrilled, I just didn't expect it but I am really happy (L) Here's a few pics. We just got home from a romantic dinner

^ Wowsers. $2000. He'd better start collecting popcans. But hockey is a great team sport. Make sure you buy him a mouth guard to protect those teeth. :thumbs:

Hockey isnt cheap!! Guess thats why soccor is picking up steam in canada, so less $$$$ Be happy he isnt a goaltender, even more $$$$$ I played out all my life for the most part, but filled in at goal from time to time! When I moved down here,i switched to goal. As well goalies normally play for free in the adult rec leagues, as well as drop in hockey, so wife thought that was a good deal,lol I didn't bother to mention how $$$$ new goal equipment is,lol

Best of luck to the little guy!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
