Hi everyone! good day! ... well, we're not actually new here, truth is, we've been lurking around here for quite some time ... hmm, almost a year now actually :blush:

I'm Lorie and my husband's name is Eric. We're now counting days till our visa interview this Oct. 02. Please wish us luck! The wait is almost killing me now! :( We all know how frustrating it is sometimes.

... Anyhoo, ever since we started to file our I-130, we only referred to two sites, one is VJ and WoF (World of Filipinas). And there's no phrase that would exactly define how thankful we are for these two sites which have been our only reference all throughout our process. Thank you all!

and to complete my introduction, here's some collage I made from our pictures (and that of our 5 mo. old daughter)

Hope you like them ...

PS:

I can make one for you too! :) Free! :thumbs:

Love them! Welcome Aboard!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Hello and welcome to Vj...wish you luck on your visajourney:)

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
