That was like the best game ever!!! Yes my family and I are so happy. My uncle scored 2 Superbowl tickets with his season tickets. My uncles son and my dad are going. He is so happy!! Then he asked my brothers if they wanted to go if he found tickets. Those are going to be major bucks because my dad's ticket alone cost 600 smacks. Dad said once in a lifetime and he is going. They just need to find airfare and a hotel. He told me Jax you don't want to go right? I said yes I do. He said you can't you need 2 personal days from work to attend the interview in Jamaica. I said okay but I can't afford that. He said well the interview and trip is on me. I said come again.... This is like the best day ever. Waiting for hubby to get off work to tell him the fantastic news!!!! Woooooooooooooopie!!

Superbowl here we come Miami!!!!!

Hey Jax,

Great games yesterday !!! Good luck finding hotel accommodations. I had been watching for the past 4 months --just in case the Ravens made it again to the superbowl, because last time they did I booked 3 months in advance (before I knew who was going to even be in it). There are still hotel rooms available, but anywhere from $500-$1000/night and alot with a minimum night stay --of 3 or 4 nights!!!

It cracks me up.....there are people out there who "make a living" by booking rooms in the cities where the Super Bowl is going to be played. Maybe I should do that next year....I'd love to know how they do it....and get away with it.

Hi everyone!

I am now Mrs. Albert Henry. (L)(L) We had a beautiful, small, intimate cermony on Saturday evening at my girlfriends home. It was awesome. The Justice of the Peace was phenomenal. (F) The readings, the vows, it was as if she had known me and Bert. Once I get the pictures I will post them. My friends daughter had did a video of the ceremony.

It was small only 9 of us. My girlfriend and her husband went all out for us. The food was great, the champagne was flowing. It could not have been more perfect.

The one funny thing was when we got to the cake part they sang it to Bert first thinking he would be gentle with feeding me but he surprised us all. Let's just say I was still blowing frosting out of my nose the nex morning! :lol::lol:

Needless to say I was hanging all day yesterday and laughed at by my husband. Does that sound strange!!

He has been here for 11 days now and everything is going great. I just shake my head with amazement. Looking around my house and seeing his clothes, his toothbrush next to mine, feeling his body next to mine in bed. (F)

I am so happy and so blessed.

I am hoping to be mailing the paperwork by the end of the week. He has been doing a lot of things for me around the house. If the weather holds up he will be able to start working sooner than later. He is itching to do that. We have found a car to buy. One that a little old lady has had for 13 years with only 73,000 miles on it. Perfect for him. Life has been good and things are falling into place for us.

Thank you everyone for getting me to this point. You help and guidance will forever be appreciated. And I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for this next set of paperwork.

Now that the Patriots CHOCKED yesterday and I cannot root for the team that beat them GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE DONE!!!

Just got off the phone with the Embassy again, good news they finally realize she is again eligible, and will be scheduling her a March interview. Interview not yet set.

For those of you who are Pat's fans, I grew up in MA, and have always been a Pats fan, but more I have been a Red Sox fan, now living in Indianapolis the last 10 years, except for the time I have spent in Jamaica, I can only compare last nights game to the 2004 ALCS with the Red Sox and Yankees. Also being a Sox fan, I like to see the team with little or no championship record win it all.

So I say Go Colts.
