[MRStee 19]

So did you end up passing it? I can't keep up with you.

Cause you don't love me no mo:crying:

Alright, off to the chiropractor.... Likkle more....

[dillon 6]

I have until 2012 to pass it..

Okay we are going to get you through this. When is the next time you are going to take it?

[Eric_Jew Nug 2]

Tee-- you know it is funny to me. Cause it seems like Eric doesn't think that our budget, spending, and us money is going to change with the edition of two children. Or he thinks that I am going to pick up the slack on his end. NOT!!!!

Just want him to look at the whole picture instead of just the right now. I have a lot of money left after I pay the bills that we decided I was going to pay. He says that I should pay more. So I asked him if he wants to swap the bills and I pay what he pays and he pays mine. Then the light poured in and he was like I am going to tighten up.

So when did you start the process for your daughter

Well when we started with Eric's paperwork we added her to it. Eric emailed the embassy toward the end of last month. Don't really know the exact date. Everything took off really quick. The medical and interview were scheduled directly after the email.

Love the way you drop the news! Congrats, when are you due?

[Thompson2 1]

I swear we have the same thoughts >>> girl i have had to turn back to reading>> i cross stitch too we have alot in common

I didn't know you cross stitched. I'm not a reader. My mind wanders too much and I don't know whats going on in the book.

You know what my worry is sometimes... its weird but here it goes. That I will die before him and I will miss out on some of his life.. but when I start thinking like that, I just try to make every moment count with him. My other problem can be, as he says, I come off to hard.. LOL (Rashida) that I need to calm it down. I try to but Rashida likes to come out...Lol and sometimes I let her so I don't have to be Tracey LOL

Brooke its admirable that you have continued to place more emphasis on your cross-stitching than on obssessing over V's intentions of hurting you... You know that man loves him some Brooke and aint going no dyaam where!

I like to cross-stitch too.. just not that great at it.. I get all confused with the colors so I just crotchet now. Im making a scarf

Tee it's not weird at all. I already worry about us dying too. UGH love is GREAT but comes with too much emotions sometimes. Another cross stitcher too? We could have a cross stitch link up..lol. I mess up sometimes too and then just up my own thing to try and make it look presentable. lol

Hey all!

Love the pic JQ. You look barely pregnant next to that other lady. You both look great though.

Congrats Portland!!! Give us some more details.

[My4rmylife 0]

Yes. I love to cross stitch

[MRStee 19]

Okay we are going to get you through this. When is the next time you are going to take it?

I have at least one more time I can take it this year and 5 times next year.. I probably will attempt again in november and prayerfully it will be the LAST time.

Hello!!!!

So I spent this evening reading this thread (and cooking tacos & hanging out with the husband & teleconferencing with some folks in Malaysia) to see what's going on and one trend is obvious; PREGNANCY!

Always Blessed, JQ, Eric_Jew Nug, 1luv, Acory???, Philly???, DW??, PortlandAngel <-- Congratulations to all the mothers-to-be. Good luck to those trying. JQ, you scared me with talk of a progesterone shot. I never heard of it, but anything that makes you go to the doctor EVERY WEEK must be awful! Hope your doctor is close by.

MrsTee, are you moving to Florida?

JaP, yay for your upcoming wedding date! And I'm not poking fun, but I laughed out loud about your son having to write lines. I've only seen it on tv & in movies; didn't know that was a real punishment.

Who is Life'sJourney? I'm guessing that is a name change. Speaking of name changes, I like the new name, esp the "Come as you are" part.

My3, congratulations on the promotion! Excellent news.

Welcome, MsNana!

Thompson2, I think buying a car is a good idea considering how often you'll travel there. However, I'm not sure if it would work for us because my very generous husband would surely let plenty of his young male friends drive the car... and we know how cautious young men are when driving.

So where have Irie, Ells, Philly, JG, etc been?

---------------------- Our Updates ---------------------------

Steven's job: So Steven got hired very quickly after he started looking (in April). The restaurant (a nearby Jamaican one) was originally going to open on May 15. Would you BELIEVE that it still has not fully opened! But things are looking up. The restaurant opened its doors for a preview night on Friday & again on Saturday. This week, they're having preview nights for specific organizations (giving out samples from the menu) and the Grand Opening is to be this weekend. FINALLY. That's over 3 months of income we expected to have, but didn't get.

Money: This is probably our main area for arguments. He thinks we can afford things; I rather live like paupers & save for a house! I think both of us need to shift our mentalities a bit (him more than me, of course). The other day, when he got a bottled water out of the refrigerator to drink, I suggested that he save the bottled waters for times when he's outside (since he hangs out there that much) and drink water from the Brita filter when inside. Logical to me. He felt like I was controlling when he can drink the water. On the other hand, he bought a brand new cell phone at the 11th month of the contract! He'd save $120 if he waited ONE MONTH to get the same phone. When he was looking at Converse shoes he wants on Saturday, I pointed out that he could get 3 pair of shoes with the money he'd recoup if he returned the phone & bought it in a few weeks.

Travel: We're looking forward to our upcoming trip to Jamaica for our 1 yr anniversary in November! When we get back, the plan is to go to New York & visit his sister. We have 2 free round trip tickets for Southwest, which will come in handy for that trip.

Overall, I REALLY REALLY love my husband. I love that he likes togetherness & cuddling & I trust him 100% when it comes to other women (even if not 100% when it comes to money management). We've been hanging out together more lately than we were a few months ago. He's an outside person & I'm an inside person, but I notice we've been actively increasing the time we spend in each other's "areas." So I've been hanging with him & the neighbors outside (they always act so surprised when I join them) and he's been hanging inside with me more (prob helped by our 98 degree days AND nights).

Catch y'all another time!
