but because of you I'll support the Bears :) GO BEARS!!

Ha :lol: Ha :lol: Ha :lol: Ha:lol:

Roy is doing great. Today is his first day back at school from his one month break (my breaks were never that long :wacko:) How is D doing? Does he like the new living situation?

How did Roy get a one month break? Lucky! Is he back to work yet?

D needs to sign up for the test - I was supposed to look up test dates :whistle::blush:

He loves the place! We're both close to work so that's a plus.

Hi everyone!

I am now Mrs. Albert Henry. (L)(L) We had a beautiful, small, intimate cermony on Saturday evening at my girlfriends home.

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.

Congrats to both of you (L) and good luck with AOS :yes:

To my understanding he did need one for the I29F but since you have your NOA2, just make sure he has one. There's a basic sample under forms.

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!!!

Thanks for the advice I will let my father know.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations sounds wonderful!!

Keep us posted Darlene. Can't wait to see the pics!

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.

Fantastic news Eric!! May everything work out in March. You have been strong in this process.

Hmmm The Colts........ no way :lol: . I have been a bears fan for life even rooted for them when no one else did. This makes up for the horrible seasons I spent in the stadium... In IL we say all the best you will need with our defense :yes: !!!

:help: When you ladies had your men get police certificates did they express them and get them the next day? I heard if he express it he pays $3,500 JA's is that true? I am having hubby spend the night in Kingston to get it the next day. What is a good hotel for him to stay at near the police station? How much did it cost? He will be taking a bus from MoBay to Kingston. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thank you,

Jax

If he is taking the bus from Mobay to Kingston I expect cost may be of primary concern. If that is the case I can provide you the number of a reliable fair taxi man in Kingston, who can pick him up at the bus park and bring him to a guest house with a nightly cost of around $1300.
