Hello Mari and everyone!

Wow, where do I start? So many pages I have read since my last post. Hope I don't forget anything.

I know it gets lonely so I would feel like I was right next to my love at night was to listen to Turkish music while I slept and got ready for work: I streamed it here and played it from my computer: http://www.creatonic...e/i_trworld.htm I personally listened to Radyo D Istanbul and I listened to it while I slept. Then when the DJ came on for the morning show I listened to Turkish being spoken and caught up on some Istanbul gossip. It really made me feel so much better and near to Hamit.

To help me learn Turkish I bought some books and also had the BYKI Turkish online program like someone else mentioned here. Also, to pass the time and help with Turkish once again, I watched some of my favorite Turkish music videos on YouTube and tried to learn all the lyrics then I'd have a drink and sing to myself ha ha ha (I don't really drink, but when it's gets too lonely...lol)Don't laugh! he he

Well, I am writing in this forum because I remember vividly how it felt to be apart. When I get sick of his snoring or something I remember when we were apart and it is all better! Also, today is our 3 year anniversary (Turkish time anyway) of our first online meeting. So we have known each other 3 years! Wow, how time flies.

As for the Ayran...yuck. It is definitely an acquired taste. When i first tried it, I was like ughhhhhh how do you drink it??!! And yes, the Halal market here has AYran that isn't Turkish, but it is the same thing. So tell Kadir that! he he After a while, I actually like the taste of it ....sometimes.

Everyone have a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Erika

Morning Erika and Hamit!

I hope you both had a great Christmas! Was this Hamit's first one? Or when the two of you were apart, did you celebrate trans-atlantic style? I'm going to post on the forum... hugs girl! Mari

[Mariye & Ky 172]

HAHA, I really miss Bulut. Oh I got your pm . It started to hit me hard when everyone kept asking me if Bulut was here and I had to say no. Then I took a few pics in front of the Christmas tree to send to him and ughhhhhhhhhhh. I dont' like it. I swear we need to get together in Turkiye this summer. How about a trip to Izmir when all of this is over. No, I think all of us should meet somewhere in the states after all of our spouses are approved. I think the first meeting should be in Chicago. Ok, I'm rambling, but I think it would be so much fun to finally see, hear, touch, etc. the ppl (and the spouses) that have started to morph into extended families during this whole process.

Excuse me, but where are you now? Shopping? I have been trying to pm you but then again, I got this ugly little pc virus that requires my full attention. GIRLS*** If you get a "Security Sheild, or Security Tools" DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! It tells you its an antivirus and antimalware safety software for you PC and it's THE PICKIN VIRUS! Not only that it sweeps your Administrator authority from you, and then when you try to do a scan or use a antivirus program on it, it denies its access to your pc. Nice eh??? Now have pc on safe mode and running proper antimal and antivirus programs that are very strong. Good.

Well? Where's the pic of you in that hot little dress by the tree? LOL.... Let's see it! And I think we all ought to meet too, but IN SAN FRANCISCO!

love,

Mari

Morning Ladies!

Today, is Dec. 26th, the day after Christmas. I hope some got the experience of homemade Ayran with Christmas Cookies! NOT. For me, I went out for Christmas Eve: prime rib, lobster and prawns. SF food yanno? Speaking of San Francisco..... lol. I am in full agreement (with Ashley), that we all get to meet at some point! <hint hint> What about San Francisco or Las Vegas!? < reminds self of budget & pinches Ashley LOL>

I am still waiting for my anti-malware and anti-virus to complete and its taking a long, very long, time. So I am here... reading and cooking at the same time.

Kadir did call yesterday for Christmas! I will tell you that I nearly had fainted when he put me on hold after saying, "Merry Christmas...love you... you wait me please?" <Mari waits a long time & hangs up till he can call me again> RING RING, it's him! "Bebegim, Bomba here ... on way to bunker. Will call u after ten minutes." I know better than to panic although everything in my being is freaking out. So, I told him, be safe and I love u too. I will be here, Askimsin.

He hasn't called me back yet. The blessing is that I did hear his voice and I know in my heart he is OK. I have to believe that, or I'll drive myself crazy. So, waiting. It seems I am always waiting. I wait for my pc to be devoid of any malware or virus. I wait for the NOA2. Now, I wait for one of the most important calls in the world to me; Kadir's. Waiting. It really requires a saint and I am not one of them.

I am very happy to have all of you on this thread. It keeps me sane for the most part when life gets a little much. Thanks girls for this AmeriTurk family!

Love,

Mari

Hi There..

When did you file your K-1 application? I am looking on the Website for the American Embassy in Ankara and seen the link that shows all of the Interviews and dates... and as I am always curious about the number(s) that are attached with the date of the interview IE (ANK2010773034) and then the type of visa and then the interview date. I am trying to make sense of how they put these numbers together and if they have any meaning that we can figure out....that is why I asked when you filed and then I can go from there...

Thanks!

Let the Good Times Roll.

Good Morning AMERITURKS! <namely the GURLS>

Today is Dec 28, 2010. It's the beginning of the week before the end of another year gone. I can't believe how quickly this last year flew by. I am sure like the rest of the world, we have experienced great things, and not so great things. One thing I know is that I am very much looking forward to 2011. For the sake of all of us here on VJ... let the good times roll! C'mon if the past year flew by, then maybe our waiting pains will subside to the fact that time does not stand still by any stretch of the word. It moves with fluidity and every moment counts.

With a laptop in one hand and a coffee in the other, I sit here thinking about the word, "ONE". Silly to think of a word that keeps repeating in my mind. Yet if you think about it, it does work well with the words like , "TIME and MOMENT".

1. There is only one moment in time that cannot repeat itself exactly the same twice ; be it good or bad. *it may seem like it though* But when time passes, it's over and we move forward.

2. When there is only one of something left, sometimes we wish for more of the same. Have you experienced this?

3. When we have one favourite of anything; a dress or pair of shoes, maybe an heirloom, our pets, our children (yes even if we have a dozen of these, each ONE is unique), we tend to cherish them specially.

You see, we only have one life. We have one love (our Askims). And when two lovers marry, we have one heart together. One.

It's my purpose to cherish every minute be it good or not, every breath, and every opportunity I am given, every day of my life that is left. Big statement and I'm not perfect so I expect that there will be days I fall short of this glory. Good thing God extends His Grace and gives me another chance.

One.

What's one thing that you love about your Askim? Why not tell him or her while you have the chance. I'm sure they'll respond in kind.

** I'd love to read what each of us love about our Sweethearts. ONE THING**

Let the Good Times Roll!

Happy End of the Year!

Love,

Mariye

PS: I Hate to do things twice when I could have done it right in the first place! So while writing this, Kadir called and its the ONE TIME WE GOT A CLEAR SIGNAL!!! So if I have typos, forgive me.... this once. lol
