:whistle: Fellow Vj'ers,

How are you staying busy out there? Besides logging into the USCIS website and posting on Vj? I've been working extra on weekends and doing I-130 paperwork for the last several months- but that is winding out and spring is here on the east coast U.S. This beautiful weather is kind of making me miss traveling... I just picked up learning hiragana to stay busy. maybe i'll be able to speak a little bit japanese for my next layover in tokyo :dance::whistle:

after we got married- dinner, movies, and evenings really do seem incomplete. We are 12 hours apart so there is a very small window that we overlap and still leave normal lives while waiting... how are you guys holding up and how long since you last were together?

keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird may come-

proverb

This weeken we have a Track & Field Invitational. This will probably be my high school running coach's last one because he has an incurable staph infection so we have organized a huge rally with his runners for all years of coaching (at least 25).

I think the kids and I may plant our garden this weekend also.

I work anywhere from 10 - 12 hours a day, then I come home, and take care of my dogs, 3 labs and a chow. they are my girls.

Now since winter is over, been tending to the yard, planted 12 rose bushes, and cleaned out the garage. Plus keeping up a 4 bedroom home, not easy.

Then when I have nothing to do, I watch the videos of our vacations together, my husband and myself, I feel closer hearing his voice, and seeing his smile almost as if we were re-living that very minute together in Paris. Then I cry myself to sleep wishing this nightmare was over and just a bad dream. In a way, I feel like I quit living .

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

I plan on starting the garden tomorrow too! But tomorrow will probablly be most weeding, clearing leaves, and turning the soil...

those 10-12 hour days sounds pretty familiar plus a couple at the gym... For some reason- your last bit about crying our self made me chuckle (i hope it is not true) :devil: .

Paris is going to be our first big trip once things settle down

Im not sure why you chucked about crying myself to sleep, well I do, I feel like the main part of me is missing, and it is, my husband. Being 5000 miles apart is very lonely, I go to the gym also, take any anger out on punching bad and run the track at full speed, but the crying helps too even if to release whats is left in me.

You will enjoy Paris, start in the Bastille area first, then walk to Notre Dame, its about a 20 minute walk. Ive been to Paris 4 times, and already planning my next trip there with my husband, have a romantic picnic at Eiffel tower at Sunset, its breathless. That is where my husband officially proposed to me.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.
