Welcome Home Adrian-

So...nobody explained what a biometrics appointment is......I feel soooo lost!!! :huh:

Good morning. They take your picture, fingerprints, height, eye color, etc. It only takes 5 minutes to complete. You have to have it done for your EAD and AOS most places do it both in one appointment. Damien had it done twice because he had two EADs.

I HAVE OFF TODAY....1st time in 3 weeks....it is so nice to not deal with kids for 2 days... :dance::dance:

kim call me...i promise i will be awake...haha :hehe:

Enjoy your weekend off.

Michele - enjoy the play. Have a wonderful time.

Thank YOU so much...... Each time I heard one of you talk about it, it kinda had me freaked out because it sounded so technical and scary!! Now I know what it means.......

Yes Shauna- I will call you later........I am at work from 7:00am-6:00pm today.....overtime.......can't cpmplain casue I need to save as much $$$$$ as possible for all this stuff coming up soon!!

Congrats Adrian welcome home. This most be an exciting time. Best wishes to you guys!! To the rest of your lives together :) Cheers

Well I just spend my whole day training to teach summer school. The lady was like you can make this and that and it only cost 90 cents. 90 cents here and there adds up.. Ugh Im working summer school because I need the extra cash.. I spend enough of my own money during the year. Sorry to go off.

Now I am off to a retirement party and then a bachelorette party. I can not wait for tommorow to relax at least one minute.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Met Jan 1998, vows on 2006, Jay Jay born 2008, baby 2 - 2011

Hello,

Well Adrian and I had a good morning, but then in the afternoon I freaked out and told him i wanted to call off the wedding :help: ...I told him I would get him a flight out tomorrow morning.....but after my freak out we went over to my parents house and had a talk with them...we are better now, we went and rented a couple movies and Adrian drove home from blockbusters (his 1st time driving in the US) he did Ok I just had to tell him which side of the road to stay on :whistle: .

We just had a talk with one of his close friends also and I told her what my fears where and now she is talking to him....she is Jamaican married to an american and she understood what kinda what I am going through....

All is ok right now...I dont think I can go through anymore freaks outs with out ending up a crazy person :lol:

:ot: OFF Topic...

For those of you who have husbands who are working... how did your husband adjusting to paying bills. How easily was it for them to move in to the bill paying mode. How do you split up the bill paying? Just wondering how or whats the easiest way to add responsibility to the other half....Also what if you brought home more than enough money to pay all or most of the bills with money left over? How much shock were they in when they realize that most of your money goes to bill paying vs saving ect.

Can't wait to hear your input :thumbs:

Dee

My jamacian views living below his standards as:

Eating "bread" sandwiches for lunch daily....he'd rather have cold left over boiled dumplin with no way to warm it up :blink:

31 year old man with no savings as a "workless mon" :blink:

going more than two days without saltfish :wacko:

Of course having his wife take care of him :wacko:.....like I wouldn't rather have him pay all the bills :wacko:

......just my recent list of complaints.

Sorry to hear Joanna. Please don't do anything drastic yet. Perhaps you both need a little time apart for some serious soul searching? Whatever you decide please think don't make any rash decisions. Take your time and think things through and think of the implications for both of your futures.
