yeah we skype, text, viber , email etc all day long. Sometimes though seeing him on Skype , not being able to touch him makes it even harder than if I didn't see him at all... That's why we stopped having it on all the time. Maybe I am crazy but it's just easier.

Right now he is on the way to Colorado, going to his friend's wedding. Passing through all the little towns we were passing on our road trips makes him nostalgic. I wish I was there with him and we really hope it's the last time he is going to someone's wedding on his own :( all those things people take for granted, we can't have it and our happiness is in some stranger's hands... But we gotta be strong guys!The worst behind us!Few more weeks, just few!

Yes it sucks being away from your loved one. We have been planning trips every 3 months, either me going to US or him coming to Canada. I went down for a 2 week visit in November for the American Thanksgiving, and he came to Canada for a 2 week visit in February. I am here in USA again for a visit and go home June 3rd. But I think this will be the last trip we can do before getting the visa. So I am thinking it is going to be a very long and painful 4 to 5 month wait until I can see him again!

Thank God for skype, but it's not the same as being together.

On the bright side... I was all prepared to be scrutinized and grilled at customs so I had all kinds of paperwork ready to prove I was returning to Canada. The POE officer asked for nothing!! :thumbs:

I just keep thinking to myself... the next time I come to Texas... I get to stay for good!! :D:dance:

No doubt!!!! ?

ross sold her apartment.. and has money to come here again.. but now that K1 is processing.. i would be afraid they would not let her into USA to visit.. :(

They let my fiance into the country for two months (he's here now) and didn't ask to see even a return ticket, but it probably comes down to luck. All they asked him is how he was able to come in for so long, and let him through.

I thought about scheduling a PNW (that's Pacific Northwest) meet-up once my fiancé is in the US. I know there are a few PNW folks who frequent the K-1 forum, so who knows. Alas, he doesn't want to step foot in Texas, no matter how much I tell him how awesome Austin is. :unsure:
