Paris, get well soon! Glad you didn't have the swine!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Post here too so Paris can see it...

Holy ####### Paris... you got your October interview??

How'd you swing that sweet deal? I swear to god, I'm going to relocate to France or something like that. It's been over 9 weeks and we haven't heard a peep yet. None of us Canadians have. NO K1s or CR/IR1s. It's scary.

Congratulations -- it means you guys get to be together SOON! That's amazing...

Sorry I missed that, I have been staying out of these places as hearing about people who finished way after I did getting an interview in the space of a week or two really bums me out.

Am happy for everyone but just dont' want to have to deal with it, ya know???
