Pinch me, I'm in shock. The I-129f made it to the finish line before the I-130. Petition approved yesterday (notice by email), so it took 4 months, even with IMBRA.

We were married in New Jersey on my husband's birthday in March. His present was to be sent packing on a plane back to Toronto, to become celibate for his first year as a newlywed while waiting for his visa. Since then, he has been sweating his balls off at WalMart, unloading trucks in the heat with no AC. Lucky him, because he HAS a job. I've been searching, unsuccessfully, since April, and getting anxious. No, getting psychotic. So if you want to know the root cause of my comedy, it's good old fashioned fear.

Life has a way of giving you good things just when you think can't take any more bad. I thank God for hearing me, and will continue to pound on the gates of heaven, including all of you in my prayers, you who are still waiting and wondering.

Meanwhile, here's some more good news. Now that I don't have to knock myself out (as if I were a rogue elephant), there'll be lots more Chilean red wine for the rest of you.

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey
