Still waiting for RFE papers to come to me from Fiance.....

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. It has been a long week for me. Moved from one office location to another and got all settled in. Attended meetings, worked on projects, listened in on conference calls, chatted with co-workers, chatted with friends during the week, went for walks, shopped with my sister. SHe is getting ready to go to Puerto Rico for 10 days vacation next week. And behind the scenes I am SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE THE PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received our RFE in the mail April 28th. I told my fiance what he needed to gather. It took him almost a month to get. Then he leaves the papers with his mother to mail to me because he leaves for the Greek Island of Mykonos to work and "keep busy". And here I am in a bustling city with lots to do and everyday I race home from work to see if the papers came in the mail. NOTHING!!!!

I admit I have never been a patient person. I always want everything NOW! NOW! NOW!!!! This is really killing me. I have prayed so much for patience, I printed the lyrics to the gospel song "I surrender" and keep it in my bag and read on the train commute to work. Any time I start to fret I pull out the lyrics.

All I want, like everyone here, is to start my life with my love. My mother said to me the other day "Sweetie, I know you can't see this now, but you have found one wonderful man, who is doing everything he can to be with you. He is giving up his life to come to a different country, language, culture to be with you. This is a wonderful time for you because you two have gotten the chance to really know each other. You talk about everything over the phone. You have learned so much about each other, your dreams, your fears, your past, your hopes for the future. You can tell from his tone of voice if he is worried, happy, tired, anxious, and he knows your voice the same. You look forward to his calls and enjoy the letters you write. You are having an old fashion courtship. He will be here soon and I you both will never forget how hard you fought to be together". That felt so good to hear from her.

But I Still want THE PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta go and get ready to have friends over for the US vs Italy game today!!!

P.S. Thanks for being here for me. You all have helped in so many ways

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.....I think we are all extremely fond by now

I can relate to your impatience. I too am so very impatient and this process is just one huge test of what seems to be a subject I have never prepared for. Look at it this way, you have found each other finally, this is your soulmate, your other half. You have rushed through life trying to find him, and now you are here with him even though he may be in a different country, he's yours so don't fret and now is the time to wait. He's not in a hurry because he knows you're it, you are the final destination and although he is terribly excited of starting his life with you, don't you ever forget that this journey IS already part of your joined life. So relax and enjoy this exciting love story you have going on, in the end its only such a small part of the whole. I bet many years past this in the future you two and all of us will look back on these days and smile with a childish awe of a love-stricken puppy.

i love all your posts keep writing

There is only one way to get through this process, patience.

I have learned one of the most valuable lessons in this life from this process, yup you guessed it again, PATIENCE. )
