Hopefully they will replace the not so nice ones that are there right now !!!

Kelly -- Any news on when Craig is coming? Did they find the medical records yet?

Yes, Kelly - we're all wondering how things are going for you and Craig :yes: Did he finally get his Visa? When is he flying here? We're all on the edge of our seats! Aren't you going crazy waiting when it's so close to actually happening now? You've waited for so long. The anticipation must be killin you ;)

Hey Everyone,

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to checkin and post. My travel business has been sooooo awesome this summer and keeping me completely crazy busy !!!!

Anyway....so he's now FINALLY APPROVED !!!!!!!!!!!!! as of yesterday. VISA should be delivered to him next Tues and then he's coming to the states Thursday, June 22nd (1st day with CHEAP airfare) !!! We are ALL soooooooooooo darn excited, nervous and everything else that goes along with it!! My son, is (surprisingly) VERY excited !!!

My family will totally NOT be supportive and I have to laugh, cause we're having a family get-together sometime over the July 4th weekend....should be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally interesting !!!

So remind me, what does he do with the "big brown envelope"? Do they do anything with it when he arrives into the states? For anyone who has flown to BWI, how was going through customs? Do they take him to a separate area? or is everything done right there at the both ?? This last trip was a breeze for me, but all my trips before that, I've been 3x looked over, asked questions and bizarre ones, etc etc. Craig is getting a little nervous about flying for the 1st time. His brother just called him yesterday, he's now in Philly on a tourist visa, so that'll be cool that he'll be an hour 1/2 from us.

As for getting married....it will be VERY small, not into the whole hoopla of the big wedding thing. We're shooting for the 18th of "a" month (cause his b-day is the 18th of Feb, mine is the 18th of May and we wanted our anniversary date to be the 18th of ??). My friend is going to marry us....wherever.

I can't believe we're at this point and ready to start the next PITA (pain in the ya know) point !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure I'll have TONS of questions.

Thanks for all of your support over this past year !!

Hey Jojo

How are you? Don't mean to chat up a touchy subject but have you talked to Adrian? Is he still in the States, and doing ok?

I am doing very well thanks for asking

....Adrian calls me aslmost every day but the phone calls keep getting shorter and shorter, cause we dont really have much to talk about any more....people keep telling him that he should just stay in the states, I told him that would not be a good thing to do....I will buy his plane ticket back to JA weather he goes or not is his decision and I dont want to be any part of that...I will know that I did do the right thing and got his plane ticket and hopefully he will get on the plane!!!! When I talk to him he sounds OK, seems like he has meet some new friends down in South Florida.

I wish the best for both of you

hey ladies,

I know it has been a while, but no computer at home anymore, so I can only catch up at work. With my new position, I have absolutely no time to get on the site. So here I am!! We just went for biometrics today, so hoping not too much longer til we get our interview date!!! Is that how it works, does anyone know?

Squitto---- i feel your pain, i was calling people 2 days before, don't they know the value of a stamp, we provided, use it!!!

Everything is going alright between me an the hubby, but there are hatters out there trying to fill my head with bull****!!!

Is anyone else have this problem?? How are you handling it?

Mrs. Smith

Hey Suzie...welcome back!! Thanks for checking in with us...give the haters the finger and keep it movin' :yes:

:lol::lol: 200 people!! O my gosh!!!!!.....I was going craxy with just the four of us.

RSVP girl..people don't do that anymore :blink::wacko: They get the invite and they stop reading after dat. :wacko:

girl, this wedding is outta control.....i'm trying to do a seating chart now :blink:

Oh my...not a seating chart...WHY are you stressing your sef out like dat :lol: You better stop it :huh:

Hey this nurse keeps hitting on Henry. She said he is best cleaner the hospital has ever had. :wacko::blink: Maybe I should start pimping him out to the lonely women. :whistle::lol:

Girl make that money :lol::thumbs:

just kidding ;)

I have a situation and need a tactful way to deal with it...

A coworker stops by my desk every day to say hello. Sometimes he stays for 5-10 min, other times longer (once he was here talkin for over an hour :wacko:). He knows I'm married and has never tried to hit on me (he knew me before me and D tied the knot and didn't even try then). All our other co-workers says he likes me, but I just don't get that vibe from him. Plus, he stops at other desks and does the same thing (chatty chatty). I don't mind a brief hello and goodbye, but it is really starting to get annoying. How can I tell him fi low mi (:lol:) and not hurt his feelings? Oh, and for all the hataz reading this, yes my husband does know about this situation langkissteetponunnu

Girl forget his feelings tell'em GOAY!!!!. That's the only way they get the picture. :lol: May be if you act really buzy...like you don't see him :huh: He'll get the picture

Congrats Kelly :dance::dance: This was a long time coming. We have Squito's chest x-ray stashed in our storage closet. They took everything else from him at the airport. AOS sure is a PITA but at least you have a little break in between. Spend some QT with your man and enjoy planning your wedding. :luv:

Okay, what "everything else" will they be taking from him? Are you talking about when he gets to BWI ? Is there other stuff in the brown envelope that they will open up and take? Or is he supposed to be "handing in" paperwork? When he checks in at Mobay, he'll just show his Passport and VISA? is there anything else?

I'm just trying to prepare him as best as I can. I had already printed out everything and gave it to him this last trip about "what to expect" from going to the airport ...giving him a copy of the immigration and airport info that was inside the Sky Writings magazine from Air Jamaica. Baggage requirements and then what to expect when he gets on the plane, what he'll need to do, they'll feed him, maybe watch a movie, then when he gets to BWI, etc etc blah blah.....

He's starting to get reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally nervous and wishes that I could fly with him ...and "hold his hand".

Whoa Ten, 200 people!!!! .....I'm hoping ours won't be MORE than 10, if that !!! None of my family (except for my son) will be there and very very close SUPPORTIVE friends and Craig knows my friends really well and that's what's really important.

kelly, i feel u with the family not supporting u. My family does not want tme to go thru with it. They keep sayin wat if he leaves u when he gets here? I do understand their concerns because i know that is a chance i'm taking.

It's not that "I" care about what they say or feel, it's just that my parents, unfortunately are VERY very prejudice and they just have nothing ever nice to say about "black" people. My son brought 2 of his close friends to my parents pool (with my mom's permission first, but he didn't say who he was bringing) last weekend and they did not say ONE word to their grandson OR his friends their ENTIRE couple of hours that we were there, just because they are black.

My feelings about that........WHATever, get over it..... I haven't raised my son like that, with that ignorance and he knows that it's MY parents problem, not ours!!! They've never ever been supportive, ever, in my life....and they certainly won't be in this aspect of my life either. Their loss !!!

Craig's mom is soooo darn sweet to me and that's very cool--my trip last month, staying with his mom was a really nice time and I'm so happy that we finally got to meet and most of his family and that was sooooo awesome!!! Craig knows how my parents "feel" ....he doesn't care, he's not "dating" my parents --he says.
