Would you believe that I actually went on a date with one of the VJers a long long time ago? I was pretty shocked to see him on this board (doing K1 for his foreign fiancée).

I never reveal my name, nor do I post pictures of myself here, because I don't want him to know that I am here.

It was a sucky date, but I don't regret it or anything....

Yep - met two VJers and spent the day together with them celebrating Canada Day at Zoo Atlanta organized by the Canadian Consulate in Atlanta last summer - lots of fun and looking forward to getting together with them again. Also, discovered that I know the mother of a VJer - we used to work together in the town where I lived in Ontario. I had already moved to the US by the time the VJer (her daughter) began her visa journey and we discovered our connection through VJ. It sure can be a small world! I would love to meet other VJers and hope we will manage a get together here in the Atlanta area sometime this coming year.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I spoke to one VJer on the phone, but we met through the website and hadn't known each other previously. If there was a VJ meet-up, and it wasn't too far away, I would attend it, I think. And if someone I met on VJ asked me to attend their wedding, I def. would, provided I didn't have other obligations that day.

I have a childhood friend from Montrose Colo that used to come here but he broke off his relationship with the filipina he was seeing so hasn't been here for a while.

I was the one that chose other, I have a VJer on my Live Journal friends list and I maintain a community called k3_couples on Live Journal as well. Kind of dead there so if any of you have a Live Journal account and would like to help people who don't yet know about Visa Journey, please by all means join our little group!

I would go to a meet up if it were close like San Antonio.

I would attend a fellow VJ'rs wedding if I were invited! (and it was close, I live kinda far from the big cities)

Life long Texan, living in Hull, UK. How did this happen?

4 February - Became a couple

17 March - I went to Hull to meet the guy

20 March - First "I love you"

25 March - I go home :(

16 November - He comes to visit me in Texas

25 November - he leaves back home :(

14 December - ENGAGED! <3

1 March- I fly off to see my babe in Hull
