So how long does it take at the embassy?

[Jim-Michelle 5]

Congrats. Just wait until the day you will track the airplane every 30 mins and get to go to the airport. My wife hs been here 1.5 years and would do it again tomorrow.

Already been there. Whenever Michelle was travelling home from Saudi Arabia or back, I always kept a website up that provides real time tracking of flights. (flightradar24.com)

Assuming she takes the same flight that I normally take, which lands around 9am, I'll probably just stay overnight at a hotel near the airport and take their shuttle over to pick her up. It's so much less stressful than dealing with the morning traffic near Dulles airport.

I've spent the last few weeks getting my house out of bachelor and his golden retriever mode. There's so much I want to get done and now it's really starting to haunt me. I changed a ceiling fan in the kitchen because it was much faster than cleaning the one that had been there for the last few decades, started removing the three layers of wallpaper from the bedroom (that was there when I bought the house) in preparation for painting the room the lilac color that she chose, vacuumed (I'm thinking the last time I vacuumed was around 2011), ordered a new mattress set that hopefully won't have springs popping out of it, threw away all of the condiments in the refrigerator and cans from the pantry that had been expired for more than a few years,,,,so much to do, so little time.

Save your energy. I don't care how good you think you have cleaned the ol' Batch pad, she is going to go thru it like a swat team thru Gitmo cells.

Make sure to sanitize the place to any reference to other females. I.E. old pics of girlfriends in sexy poses in a shoe box somewhere you forgot about.

Only in my dreams. In reality, I make Fred Rogers look like a member of the Hell's Angels.

She tells me to leave the cleaning for her every day. I keep telling her there's plenty to go around. In reality, I just don't want the place to be too embarrassing when she gets here.

She would be hard pressed to find pictures of anything except for the dogs, my family and her. So, I'm not too worried about that. I don't think I even have a photo of my ex wife.

Buy a new bedding set to go with your new mattress!

When you go pick her up from the airport, bring a bouquet of flowers!

Congratulations on passing the interview!
