Arrived in the US on Tuesday and seeing my husband there was the best feeling ever.

Now I am ready to start our new life together...after all this time waiting, it finally happened and it is WONDERFUL.

Saying goodbye to my family was heartbreaking, but they are all happy for me and I know I will see them again :)

Thank you to everyone who helped along the way...you are great...and to all those people still waiting, do not give up hope...it's worth fighting for :)

Awaiting the arrival of my belongings now, but I have a lot of adjusting to do in the meantime.

Yaaaay! Congratulations :)

I imagine it was hard saying goodbye to your family, but you are doing what you wanted to do and they'll always be there for you. Maybe they'll be able to visit?

I hope your adjusting goes ok.

Thanks everyone :)

Gemmie, I know...it was all so overwhelming, but it did get less confusing once we were in the process..it's just knowing which visa to apply for and how to start.

Went grocery shopping and felt so out of my depth..didn't have a clue what everything was lol...I'm going to try my hand at baking today, although I can't find caster sugar here, we will have to see how it turns out ;)

I think the sugar is the same as ordinary sugar. When I asked if "that was castar sugar", my husband looked at me confused, and said it's just regular sugar, and he uses that to bake cookies, etc.

Enjoy :)

Very hard to find caster sugar in the US -- "regular" sugar is granulated sugar. Apparently there is such a thing as superfine granulated which is similar to caster, but I've never bothered. I just run granulated sugar through a coffee mill.

We already had the superfine sugar, my hubby always gets it apparently, so I used that and it turned out fine.

I got the same reaction from my hubby too about caster sugar ...I swear he thinks I make stuff up lol
