Hi! This is Jinky! :D We arrived in LAX, Friday, March 2nd and made it through immigration after about 30 minutes. The immigration officer looked very strict and he asked me where is Job's father. I asked him to repeat himself and then he asked if I was married to Job's father. So I just answered him, NO. Before I left, he told me if I don't want to get married that I can always go back to the Philippines...bwahahahaha. He only looked strict but he was okay - he even said, Welcome. So, after that we got our luggage. They didn't even ask for the x-rays.

I'm with my Steven now and he took us to an asian market on Saturday where I found so many home products - kangkong, calderita mix, chicken feet, and Filipino foods. I even bought Datu Puti vinegar...hehehe.

At the back of our churches weekly announcements, I found 3 Filipino dentists in our area. The church we go to has a community of Filipino's and Vietnamese.

I'll keep you all updated to a new life here!

Welcome to sunny and beautiful California. I can't wait until you get settled in so we can hang out with you... YEAH!!!

Why am I the only one in the midwest?

I would just DIE of envy when you have your get together. :crying:

You're not alone in the MidWest, I'm here near Chicago!!!!

Send me email and we can meet or just Chat....

Congratulations to you Jazzy and Todd! I know you must feel so relieved. So happy for you guys!

On another note, just got through on the phone with the USE Manila. Our physical packet was received on 2/27/07 and the lady said interviews will be scheduled 90-120 days from that date. OMG! It's getting close! My eyes are tearing up just thinking about it. How great that day will be when I can hold my honey here in my arms on US lands. I pray God will continue to bless all of us in this process from filing to a safe flight to our loved ones and beyond.

To the keeper of the timelines....please update us to MNL Recv'd on 2/27/07....thank you so much for your work!
