yes I have a clean copy of the original marriage cert. Do I need to send a copy of my birth cert even if I am sending copy of passport?

Fee yes of course. lol

No either send a photocopy of your entire passport or your birth certificate or naturalization certificate. Whatever shows your US citizenship. Obviously a birth certificate is maximum 2 pages while a passport is every page... Significantly less paper and weight, but wouldn't apply if it's not a US birth certificate.

Any one have any critiques of my total package?

You only listed one G-325A.

You need two, one for you, one for the beneficiary. Make sure all the forms are originals, not photocopies/scans.

All the other stuff- send photocopies. You are not gonna get them back.

Re: chat logs. Just take snapshots of a few from each month and paste into a word doc.

Yes I have 325 for both of us just an oversight. My problem with chat logs is that I printed what I have which is from the begining of our relationship Sept 2012 and chat logs end about end of October. I visited my wife after that and was there so much no need for chatting. We speak via phone/skype. I have ben there 5 times since October 2012. Over 160 days in her country.

Well, I'd include the chats you have... and as for skype call log- I found this useful :

Being together is the best form of evidence. All those passport stamps, boarding passes, and if you kept them, receipts of things you did together. Great evidence!
