just found this thread!

Have noticed a few of you have moved to Virginia - have any of you taken your driving test yet? If so, what was in the road skills test? I've got to do mine VERY soon and hope I'll pass.

Thanks

Great thread.

Flying out to Seattle this afternoon to be with my baby forever :yes:(L)(L)

Can't believe we've actually got here at last!! Thank you to everyone for all their support and advice. We'd never have got here without you.

And so glad we decided to do it all without a lawyer!

Kiki that is great about filing your papers! I bet it feels like a huge weight off your shoulders. And now you just sit tight and wait which shouldn't be so bad since you are with your man!

Stacey YAY!!! :dance: Are you flipping out? I'm almost in a state of disbelief that come Sunday I won't have to count down the days until Adam leaves. I'm also having the "wow this is adult" jitters :whistle:

Rebecca, quiet is good! If I were to let myself talk more, you would be rolling your eyes at the crazy things that are going through my mind right now. I am going to blame it on moving house and getting married all within the next month. Then after that I will have to find a new excuse for my craziness :lol:

I think it also might be quiet because people miss that it's pinned at the top now. I know I wasa bit puzzled as to where the thread went before I spotted that it was now pinned.

I'm not even counting the days no more, I'm just going day by day, the more you count the days, weeks or even months, 1. it's boring and 2. it's taking forever. So every school day except for next week, I go by one at a time, the hours in the day go quicker too.
