Good evening everyone,

Well mom and I just got back from looking at places to hold the wedding and now I am torn between 2 places, I guess I just have to start figuring out prices and what each place has to offer since I like both of them. One is a Wyndham Resort which is very nice and the ceremony and reception will be nice and elagant, and the other is a Doubletree Castle hotel that has a whimsical castle feel, it is neat and will have a unique flare to it. So I am very confused right.

Anyway hope everone had a great day!

There is a Wyndham Resort in Jamaica and it is very nice. Maybe you can get a trip there if you have your wedding there. I'm sure you'll know what is right for you so don't sweat it. Relax!

I live in Atlanta. I moved to Atlanta a little over a year now. I like it but I haven't done too much exploring. I hope to get to know Atlanta better when my husband gets here.

Yeah the Wyndham does offer a free honeymoon if you have your wedding there but you have to spend at least $12,000 in food and beverages, I dont think we will even come close to that :no:

Both hotels have thier pros and cons, but it will probally come down to who ever offers is the best price!!

Smart thinking! It takes a lot of money to go through this immigration process. Save some money and energy for that day!

Any one else have to send the AOS and EAD to different addresses?

Ours went to Chicago but I don't know how the biometrics and interview will be done. The NOAs for AOS and EAD came from Lees Summit, MO.

Thanks ChristineJames.

My husband asked me today what to bring with him to Atlanta.

What did you guys tell your SO to bring? Should he pack ALL his things (even the stuff that I'll hide somewhere deep in my garage)?

Congratulations Simone! Are you meeting him in Atlanta? That is a fun town.

Thanks jkb919 (L) ,

I really do understand that bu tyou know what i realize and I dont know if it is the same with you females (Eric). But when he was here up until this morning I was oblivios to how much I really loved him or even needed him. But know he is gone I find myself missing him more than ever. I even miss his annoying ways, but I guess the older folks knew what there were speaking about when they said 'Cow no know de use a him tail til fly tek e ovah' Funny ain't it :no: .

Latah.

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

simone...

we thought the same thing when we responded to that question...it's crazy.

looking back at the paper work from kingston, there is a letter that address the fiance and it also lists a k2 traveller...

so bizarre.

i don't think you ruined your chances because any of these approvals are only valid for 1 year, at least for the k1/k2 so if you at least wait one year than it should be all good.

jamie...good luck! he will feel so good when he gets the license...it's makes such a difference in their moral.

We just bought a mini van!!! 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager...it's got high mileage but in perfect condition. The inn i work at was getting rid of it as they are down sizing how many company vehicles we have. I got it for $500! We are so excited. We have a car and a van...now we just need kids!! Just kidding...we are no where near that. It's so exciting to grow with each other....small steps are so rewarding.

That is a good buy! Looks like this is your year!! If you need to fill it up before you have kids, we love to travel.

"Even though your buddy hasn't been pulled over for speeding and he speeds all the time that doesn't mean that you can speed and not get caught...think of what it would cost for the ticket and then the jump in insurance. We can't afford that especially since you don't even actually have a license yet"

GOOD MORNING! (F) TGIF :dance:

Dee~ Your EAD and AOS paperwork should all go to the Chicago Lockbox...That is where we sent everything.

Well Andre passed his driving test by 2 points. So much for that perfect score that he was going on and on about :whistle::lol: Honestly I am so happy that he can now be independant and out on his own but I am sooooo worried about him getting in an accident or even getting a ticket. He is really not a good driver and I can't believe he actually passed...although the examiner did say he still needed a lot of practice but that he had the basics down. So keep him in your prayers that nothing bad happens from him being a little too over confident and cocky :blush:
