[Jenn and Fuat 2]

OMG Jenn, sooo nice to hear YOU say you're reaching for the ice'pack. Finally

I think the state of Virginia has run out of ice packs.. I am going to have to drive to Kentucky to get more :)

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around much the last 2 days...the work trip has been ridiculously busy. but now this morning i finally have some downtime before my flight home.

Kayla - CONGRATULATIONS!!! You must be on cloud nine. do you know yet when he will come?

Gaynto - Congrats on the wedding! you look beautiful and very happy.

Jenn - nice you see you pop in! how are things going?

Krystle - you asked me if i was ready...mentally HELL YES! but in practical matters totally not. i come home from seattle tonight, have to work tomorrow and then this weekend is going to be all about preparing. have to continue to clean and i haven't figured out yet where he's putting his stuff! i know next week i will be so busy at work that i will not have time to do anything. so this weekend is my last chance. after that i just have to say, eff it. but i also need to figure out how many days i might be able to take off to help him adjust. did you take any days? i'm thinking we will have the weekend and then maybe i can swing a day or two off, or partial days or something...not sure.

Maggie - can't wait for your turn! it's coming so soon! so when do you travel?

Seb - your lady is coming saturday right?? are you totally psyched? are YOU ready??

So much to reply to... there are going to be at least 20 posts from me before I get off this page.

Seb... you have just a few more days...!! Karen.. he's coming next week and I know your next few days are going to be crazy ( but it will be tons o' fun when he's here.

Kjenkins, I'm very sorry this is happening to you. I wonder why they set appts for something as simple as that anyway? I've never heard of such a thing. Are they that overwhelmed by weddings where you are? I hope everything turns out well for you.

My daughter and her husband married in a chapel in Oralando right outside Disney World; they got thier license one day and married the next.

Worse comes to worse go marry in a different state.

Yea either that or a differnt city/county...

i fill out everything too. But that's because I want to - I'm much more more detail-oriented and a perfectionist so i am much less stressed if I do it for both of us. That way I know it is all good. Control freak what? i mean of course we go through the questions together if we need to but in the end i will fill it out. In fact i already started filling out (rough draft) the AOS forms, heh...

So, question for everyone - my honey is forgetful and he knows it, so he asked me if i could send him a list of important papers and things that he needs to bring with him there. That way he can follow the list and make sure not to forget them! SO I started here, but would love to know if I'm missing anything:

Important things to bring:

- Passport with Visa

- Sealed Envelope

- Birth Certificate

- Divorce Certificate

- HS Diploma

- Vaccination Records

- Regular ID Card

- Details of Military Service (i noticed on one of the forms for AOS it asks about this)

- Military ID?

- Merchant Marine passport/ID?

- numbers/emails of possible job contacts (hotels, friends of friends, etc)

- any recommendations from previous companies

- letter from his ex-employer indicating most recent job, length of time

- kids' birth certificates

- important phone numbers/emails of friends/family

- police record (would he need this again for anything?)

- any prescrip medicines he has

Thanks all!! Happy Saturday! I am unfortunately a bit sick (head cold and fever last night, hate it when i get sick from the plane...germies galore!) so can't be as productive as i'd like...but hoping if i rest well today i can be super productive tomorrow.

Hope you feel better

On another note I think you have just about everything as well. Whatever has to be filled out I do it and have him sign it becasue most of the terms used on theses forms he might not be familiar with and not only that if he messes up I;d be highly upset SOOO leave it upto me to mess up!

Are you excited yet Karen? 6 more days!!

I'M HERE! It has been so crazy for us this last week... and the park opens in a few days, so I have been crazy with work as well as with getting Fuat acclimated to Virginia and to the US.

WOW I have a lot to catch up on.

I really miss being on here every day and can't wait until I can get back into my normal day of checking in on everyone on VJ

It's 0k we understand

I`m serious, you need to see the dragon movie. Mathew and I both loved it and all of the people watching it laughed the whole time. It`s one of the best movies I`ve seen in a long long time. This one tops Finding Nemo for me, and that was my favorite movie forever. When we left the theater I asked him if we could go back and watch it again, lol.

And strangely enough there was only 2 children in the movie. The rest were adults, LOL.

0h wow and I love a good laugh so I'll go see it. BTW I loved Nemo too.

[Maggie_Kenyth 1]

Seb!!! almost time!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!

Kayla!! OK ! I'll watch it!

[Jenn and Fuat 2]

YEAH SEB! Three more hours.

I have not even HEARD of this dragon movie....

SOmeone asked how Fuat was adjusting.. He is, but he's homesick. I'll write more when I can...

[paciencia y fe 2]

hey all,

SEB - you may be on the way to the airport by now! i can't even imagine how you must be feeling. i am SO HAPPY for you!!

Jenn - happy to see you pop in from time to time - and am dying to get the full scoop on how everything is going!

Krystle - really hope things work out with the marriage license stuff - i still think it's crazy that you have to make an appointment and that it's so far in advance! Makes me a little nervous since we are just going to go to the county clerk the morning of to pick ours up. (in FL non-residents don't need a waiting period). I'd better call and double-check that everything is okay with that! And yes, i am super excited...but unfortunately being sick means i haven't been able to do anything cleaning-wise that I wanted to this weekend...but I know my honey will understand.

Kayla, hang in there! I know it's rough saying goodbye to your love. When is he coming??

[brightskte 18]

I'm not even kidding when I say that Delta misplaced my bags AGAIN.

Fury does not describe what I'm feeling right now. :ranting: :angry:
