That is funny. My parent's knew I was making monthly visits to JA for....well forever....and they had seen some pictures of Andre. But, they never really got what was going on. They didnt' take much of an interest, so I never pushed anything. Plus, my kids adored him, so who cared about anyone else? And the few family members who had met him loved him, so I was cool. We went to my grandma's birthday party a few weeks after he got there and he met them and some other family members. They fell under his spell and loved him. That was July. They didn't find out we had married in June until Christmas. It's been smooth sailing. So, no worries.

Follow my mantra.........anyone who says anything negative enough to hurt Andre is out of my life. Take it or leave it.

I was thinking of not saying much about the whole engagement thing for awhile, but we are planning on doing the CR1 visa sooo....we will be married in JA before he gets here. Evan is the one who is pushing me to tell him quickly cause he wants to get my dads blessing, as do I. My dad has never held a grdge against me, but he does like to express his opinion, and I am sure he will have a huge opinion on this. I think it will just be a shocker that I am "getting married", not that he's Jamaica. My last bf was Jamaican and we were together for over 3 years. And now there is Evan and we will be married within 10mons of knowing each other, so that will seem odd I'm sure.

You are all right though. It is MY life and my family should understand that. So far I think my dad may suspect something is up. He's been avoiding my emails and calls of trying to get in contact with him. I'll try again tonight and let you all know how it goes.

I think its an interesting twist though for you to get him an apartment. That could be a good and bad thing. Since he is coming to the US on a K1 you ma y want to use this 90 day "trial" period to actually live with each other and see how that sort of interaction goes before you marry and file to adjust. Just my opinion though. You know what is best for u and your daughter. I hope all goes well when he arrives and you start a wonderful life together.

Ditto. That 90 days together are very important.

I for one will be waiting up until the 90 days to marry Marlon but he wants to marry as soon as he gets here so he will be able to work sooner. I want to wait to be sure I can save a little money for a nice little wedding as well as look for a nicer and bigger apartment.

He will probably prove you wrong!! :dance: :dance:

All in all, Roy is a pretty good driver -- it's all me. I am a horrible "back seat driver." I am the one who ALWAYS drives -- I just feel safer that way. It doesn't matter to me who I am with -- I will be afraid.....I am so nervous when he is driving I think I make him more nervous.

We paid for 5 hours of driving school.....that ended just before Christmas....I probably should have had him take his test for the license then. I PROMISE -- tonight I will let him drive himself to work (down the busy street!!!) Oy Vey :wacko:

Hello VJ family. Damien is doing well...he's more worried about the car.

Good night.
