I know how you feel. My 1st wedding anniversary is in 3 days and we'll be staring at each other on a computer, just like we spent our birthday...still apart. (We share the same birthday...) I can't wait to see him again either!

It will all be over soon and all of this frustration will be a distant memory. I was with my husband for 3.5 years going through the long-distance trials before our approval and it's already a distant memory even though our POE was only a couple months ago!

Hang in there! You're very close!

Just think about it like this... each day that passes, you are a day closer to being with him :-)

This whole process isnt for the faint hearted. But try to find creative ways of being together. Watching the same movie while being with eachother on skype. Or, eating the same meal ( Big Mac form McD's ) for dinner together.

Love bares all things, believes all things, hopes all things...

Just relax and keep busy. The process, looking back, wasn't that bad. The trick is to keep busy and don't think or obsess about it. Good luck.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
