Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 21)

[NatPatBen 3]

Good news today we can proceed!!!

I e-mailed them a scanned copy of the DS230 again today, but I saw they told someone else they are no longer opening attachments :bex:

He will be sending the DS230 via DHL on Monday.

Anybody know if the expiration date on the NOA2 will be a problem??

You still have about 2 months before it expires... I doubt it's a cause for worry.

Congratulations on being able to proceed!!

Congrats JPA, that's great news! Your interview date soon come!

I don't think that will be an issue with expiration date on your NOA2.

Good Morning Ladies!

Nat I see you are an early bird like me....

Definitely not! For some reason, both of us woke up tossing & turning. I think it was too hot in here with the sheets, throw, AND comforter. I turned on a fan, browsed the internet for a bit. To fall back asleep, I put on "Julie and Julia." That did the trick!

WAIT you turned on the fan! HUSH stop gloating I am in here freezing and I have on 3 kerosene heaters throughout the house and Hubby is saying I am trying to cook him :blink: .

LOL @ Julia and Julia so are you saying its boring?

I have been up since 7 tending to my jungle inside the house and the enclosed veranda watering clipping leaves and mixing manure for their soil. Now I am of to bathe the cats and go to the market with my youngest son. My oldest stayed with my Mom and I am pretty sure she has him in a diaper and feeding with a bottle oops did I say that sike but damn near close she babies him too damn much!

OK I will catch up later Ladies Holla!

Ok Nat,

I thought that we were in the same city?

I only have a blanket and a sheet with the heater turned down very low. I am in the Spring/Tomball area of town what area are you in?

Is Steve adjusting to his new life in Texas? My sweetie always asks me if I thinking that he will enjoy it here and I always say YES. I have been in the Houston area all of my life and I have traveled quite a bit domestically and internationally and I can't imagine living any other place....

Have you and Steve found places of interest to visits ie; restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment venues, and etc. that he likes.

My Sweetie always says that Americans eat out to much, I told him if you want to eat out Houston is the place to do it. We have just as many restaurants as Jamaica has churches!!

However I think he and his family eats out more than the kids and I do. He was on the phone this morning saying that we eat out to much and I ask my Son when the last time we ate out and he stated Sunday I asked my Sweetie the same question & he stated last night and I said don’t forget about Thursday night… He is always getting a boxed food.

I just thought I would be nice to get some prospective on things that He might enjoy from the two of you!!!

It actually says it expires on Dec. 19th

But I did a lot of searching on VJ last night and most responses said the Consular can extend it...

Here's praying it all works out for us, God knows I need him now more than ever!

Dan-Dan - no problem

It feels good to be able to help, I know how much I appreciated the help I got here when I first started

There is no way I could have done all this without VJ, for real!

Wuz up, Yardies!! I hope everyone is well. Ivan and I are doing wonderful. He is getting along well with my brother and daughter. And we have found a couple of spots throughout town that makes him feel right at home. We've been hitting the gym consistently and started our homework for our "Marriage without Regrets" course at church. Not sure if he is really into it yet because he find the HW difficult. But we will see how things pan out. We also started to explore career options and he is thinking of getting his certifications to be a personal trainer. Luckily we can purchase study materials and he can start to work on obtaining them during the down time of not working, etc..

Does anyone know how to make peanut porridge?

My FH makes it. He takes raw peanuts, cornmeal, nutmeg, vanilla flavoring and crushes them using the blender. He then boils everything with milk. Its very similar to making cream of wheat. He also mentioned the stirring consistently is the key....

OK I finally caught up LOL today has been a whirlwind, but at least I got a chance to go to lunch with the best Manager on the planet!

Well I have 3 anniversaries I celebrate with Hubby during the year

1. The day we got married ( Valentines Day)

2. The day we met

3. The day we got engaged ( Christmas Day)

I am now trying to think of the perfect gift for this man for our upcoming anniversary, I want to do something special since this will be the 1st Xmas- Kwanzaa Holiday in the States.

He Loves jewelry so I want to get him a new set of diamond studs and a new watch I think he will love that. I was also thinking of maybe surprising him with a night at the Inn of the Dove or the Feather nest inn.

I am so excited I love surprises LOL

Looks like an awesome place. Happy Anniversaries!!!

Good morning sistas

You know I had to catch myself because I was getting a little frustrated with Steve over little things. I gave him the most sincerest apology ever last night. I feel so much better today. I think that in the end, I have to go back to how "we" came to be about, and how much I love this man. I don't get a "monthly" like some people do, but I swear I still get the symptoms of it lol...

So on this board: I love you Steve, please forgive me!

Aw. That's so sweet. Its good when you can admit your mistakes and move on. That is difficult for alot of people, including me.

Awwwww! Girl I'm sure Steve forgives you. I know it must be frustrating to adjust to living together and him being here. Thank you for sharing and others who have shared as well. It is good for us to see what some of the major adjustments are and what to expect. Hoping for you guys to have a long extended make-up session....

Thank you and this morning my kids were talking to me telling me how much they really like Steve. My daughter talks to him about boys! I think she is doing good with him because her biological father isn't in the picture. She said this morning, "Mom I love it when he says "really and truly"! I chuckled because I do too. My son was like "I really bangs wid the boy" lol... I told them see, I told you yall would like him. I just had the biggest smile on my face this morning, Momma done good lol

Good morning MsTee! It's Friday.....

Happy Friday, Good morning sus, that news article was a hot mess...

Great morning Yardie!!!!!

Finally up for air. LOL!!!!

I am at work and my baby is at home in bed. DAMN!!!!

Picked him up Wed. from BWI. Traffic was crazy so I left home at 5pm. Arrived at BWI at 720pm. It was cool though. The USO was greeting flights of troops from Iraq. That brought tears to my eyes and took me back down memory lane. Eric called me at 914pm said he just landed. He sounded really excited and tired. He finally walked through the international arrivals entrance/exit at 935pm. Didn't take long, but it felt like it took him a hour. I was getting real anxious. Legs shaking, foot tapping, checking my phone and watch every few minutes. We walked to car. He was like MAN it is COLD!!!! So we walked a little faster got to the car and left airport. We arrived at home around 12ish. He took shower and got fresh, so we could get all stinky and sweaty again. Felt so good not be alone in my bed any more. The dog was pretty upset about having to sleep in his own bed...LOL!! We got up next morning and chilled until about 1030. Then we went to walmart, burlington coat factory, and famous footwear. Got my baby RIGHT!!! We got back home and I started making dinner and of course doing my homework. Eric had this bright idea, that he would go outside and rake leaves, so I didn't fuss, I just said good luck with that. He came in about 2 and 1/2 hrs later like it is damn cold out. His nose was running and his hands were just as ashy. LOL!! But my yard looks good though. We ate dinner Turkey wings, cabbage, and yellow rice. Chilled and watched TV, then more SEXY Party TIME...

Sounds like a great first night. May the sexy parties begin

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

roger just tell me, he got the green card in the mail .. HOOORRAHHHHHHH

this feels GREAT he is legit.. he is finally ----TECHNICALLY-- Legally--- here..

i don't know how to explain it.. it just all feels real now even tho ive had him here for 6 mnths..

i am so thankful today for finding vj 2years ago.. most of those ppl are gone, but i really wanna share how much this site has helped me, made me laugh, i really could not have done all this paperwork/relationship/drama and otherwise w/out the information and support.. i prolly would never have made it this far

thank you Lord for VJ

Congrats..
