Oh boy, that's what I'm affraid of! :wacko: I can't imagine doing what he's doing, moving to a completely new place and leaving everything he's ever know

When you put it that way it really is scary. I could have NEVER done it either.

My dogs LOVE Roy -- now more than they love me :wacko: He is there with them all day and they have all grown very attached to him. They have all gained weight 'cause he feeds them a little bit of everything he eats -- and, my boy (who is by far my most favorite) is getting old :cry: and I know his days are numbered......Roy makes him "man juice" every week to keep him "strong." It's just so damn cute.

Jax-- How excited are you about the Bears? Going to the game this Sunday?

very excited!!!! The stadium was so quiet during the last kick!! Then the crowd was high fiving everyone it was electric and awsome. Then everyone started singing the fight song and banging on everything. Especially the men were like going crazy jumping running all over the place. Yes I am going to freeze my aXX off again. I can't wait to beat the Saints. Whooo..... Thanks for asking Mindy. Once in a lifetime experience.

I called NVC about my missing DS230 form it was a computer error. They said they are reviewing the case right now and it should be done in 2 to 4 more weeks at NVC before they send it to Kingston. It look Like Hubby won't be here for Easter. If they send it at the start of Feb then we wait 2 more months. It would be close but not praying for a miracle. I sent the DS230 form in on December 11th and they just started to look at the case on the Jan. 9th. Slow like a Tortise.... I am just happy that everything is there.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I love it! Your husband making your dog "man Juice"! :lol: I'm praying my hubby and the dogs bond. He's finally gotten over the fact that yes, they are sleeping in the house once he's here, as they would be heart broken to be tossed outside. He even has a picture of my bulldog on his cell phone now (it was mine before). I'm sorry your baby is getting old. :( Mine is too. I try not to think about what is coming, makes me too sad. :crying:

Oh boy, that's what I'm affraid of! :wacko: I can't imagine doing what he's doing, moving to a completely new place and leaving everything he's ever know

When you put it that way it really is scary. I could have NEVER done it either.

Vj fam sista needs some serious help!

Over the past few months I've put off planning our renewal of vows in JA for various reasons...well it's now 2007 and if we're gonna do this ceremony next year then I can't put it off anymore.

I've looked into various sites for wedding planners in Ochi/JA but I'd probably have to sell my unborn child just to afford what they offer :(

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAD OR ARE PLANNING A JA WEDDING:

1. Where did you have it

2. Date of wedding

3. How much did you/will you pay (exact amount not necessary, you can round to the nearest hundred :D)

4. How much of the planning/favors/etc. did you do or have help with from family and friends?

5. Any extra money saving tips?

6. Anything else I should know?

I'm probably not going back till December and I want to have the ball rolling before then. MIL has offered to help but I don't even know where to begin and I don't want her running around because I haven't made final decisions.

Help help help!!!

Sometimes I wish that I could get 20/20 to do an undercover story on what really goes on in the embassy :lol: I guess I have ALOT of time on my hands and too much imagination. :lol:

I think that's a great idea :yes: It's as if they're NOT accountable for anything! There's no rhyme or reason to anything they do or what order they do it in. Are other embassies this bad too?

She then told us they got approved and off we went. The whole process was painless, yet nerve racking!

Congrats :dance: I don't think they had any private rooms at the old Embassy. At least nobody on here has ever been taken to one!! Must be something new.

I know what you mean! Tony was not at all used to the idea of having a dog in the house. He likes the dog but says he would like him better if he stayed outside :o<_< I told him I was going to put HIM outside before I put the dog out :lol: The dog was here first!! Actually the biggest issue he has is the dog hair. I guess I need to start vacuuming and cleaning more :blush:

Hey Marilyn,
