May 23 2011 - NOA2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

Welcome Googled! As to the March thread being so awesome, it's one of the ways I'm passing the time waiting! We keep coming up with more interesting things to share!

As to birthdays, Stuart came up to Canada for my birthday this year, and I missed Stuart's but the Cancun trip was his birthday present, so we just celebrated late. We keep missing all kinds of holidays, and keep telling each other that it's the last one ever we'll be apart! This weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the US, so I'm busy learning what that means! I'm also planning on getting a Canadian flag to fly next to his American one, apparently I can get one free from the local MP office, and in time for Canada Day here too! Stuart just learned about the Victoria Day weekend, or the "May 24" as we affectionately call it!

I also keep myself busy with silly little 30 day challenges every month, currently I've insanely challenged myself to the Thrive Diet 30 day challenge, so no coffee, meat, dairy, corn, soy, wheat or sugar! THAT'S keeping me counting down smaller chunks of time, and every time I complete a challenge, it's closer to being with him! (this is the ultimate challenge) Next month I plan on running 30 minutes every day for 30 days, the month after, its a 100 mile diet challenge... so yeah... keeps me busy!

I was hoping people here could share the things they're talking about now to make sure things go smoothly in the marriage later! There's a ton of lists on the internet that suggest you talk about money, kids and politics before you marry, so I'm just curious how many of you have had these talks already, and what questions you've asked and answered. I'm hoping to make sure we haven't missed any! So far we've talked a little about some of them, but I want to keep bringing up topics with him as we get closer to POE day! So, if you have a list of important topics, please share!

One we got out of the way really fast is if we want to have any more kids. He has two over 18, and I have an 11 year old, so we're happy to say no to that one... the topic of how to make sure we DON'T have anymore is still ongoing. (some guys just don't want to talk about vasectomies! )

So, who's next?

We are now planning on things like our wedding, me getting there and moving to a different city to be closer with the family, new house, etc etc. but its really so hard to get into planning and do the thing. At this moment in our life, we are amidst the uncertainty because of the NOA2. Not so sure as to when it will come leaves us wondering where we should start. So best thing to do is to go on with our lives and take one step at a time. Im just glad both of us uphold the same level of importance towards commitment and family. (L)

Happy Memorial day all. Hope that there will be plenty of Approvals this week. I am glad I am one of the fortunate ones who was approved this past week. It's very unfortunate to see this whole debate about CSC vs VSC, But I will share my own experience with you guys. My friend here also filed for her BF in the Philippines. She filed at the end of Jan, and she got a RFE the 2nd week of March, approved end of march, and he will be here on Wednesday. I kept asking her what did you do to get processed so fast? I was very pesemistic, and just thought that it would take the whole 5 months to get approved. So last monday when I was eating dinner, I looked at my phone and got my text saying WAC11902-xxxxx was updated. So when you least expect it, it will come. And when it does, it will make your day. One step closer.... Thanks for reading my rant
