Guys I am going away this weekend and then next week flying to Berlin so most probably till next Friday I wont be able to do my daily updates ( I'll try if I get an access to the internet)...

I am really certain most of the RFEs will get good news next week and also those who still wait. Fingers crossed for our two ladies from Honduras of course too! Be strong people! On a positive note, theres Only 4 months left of this year ( oh wow thats crazy!!!) and we all will be with our loved ones by then :)

Have a great one!

Enjoy!, have fun, smile.gif..............we will miss you!! But look forward to your return........with lots of approvals for those still waiting, i hope to have more news for you by then on Dublin regarding interview date.

The weekend has been good. We took the kids out to the lake yesterday with friends, went swimming, boating and tubing... :)

Trying to keep my mind off of all of this... but there is only another week before we leave to go back to Canada. Really

hoping to be able to celebrate NOA2 before we leave. If we do, I'll be looking forward to the next steps... If we don't,

it will be a long depressing trip back. (sigh)

It's been a good weekend (not over yet though!). Watched "Ted" (super funny), slept in this morning, then went out for lunch and went grocery shopping. Picked up some things to try new recipes this month (speaking of which, if anyone likes to cook/bake and wants to trade recipes - I'm always looking for new things for my super picky fiance). I really love cooking and I'm trying to get my fiance to eat more veggies so I bookmarked some new recipes lately. Also gonna make some Peanut Butter Bars for my co-workers this week :) Hunkering down in case Tropical Storm Ernesto hits us, which I'm hoping it will only send rain our way :/

I'll share my tricks if you want ! I also do a kick #### chicken soup ! I am a huge fan of almost every cuisine of the world !

It's funny how food bring people together whatever country, culture or religion.
