Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[luvtravlin 0]

We have been together 2 and half months now. The time has speed by for us. We are thinking that we need more time past the expiration on her K-1 visa. What options do we have? If she were to go back to Jamaica would we have to go through the whole process from the beginning? What if we married in Jamaica the first quarter of the year? If we were to file a K-3 or CR-1 where would we start?

Oh, Jay. What happened?

Yes, if you go back to Jamaica, you have to refile. Same with the K-3 and CR-1. You would start from the beginning.

MY GUY IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF, ITS SO HARD TO GET HIM TO UNDERSTAND WHEN I SAY I AM TIRED I JUST WANT TO REST ,AND ITS LIKE HE ALWAYS TRYING TO COMPARE HOW THINGS ARE DONE IN JAMAICA TO HOW WE DO THINGS IN THE USA DO ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEMS.

What do you mean? Like going out all the time?

everything he want to compare like how we raise our children to the way they raise there children its really getting on my nerve

Sorry, but this makes me laugh.... because this stuff will continue to be like that even AFTER he gets here!!!!! Doesn't matter (as we've posted on several times in past posts), they don't "get it", "feel it", "know it" UNTIL they get here!!!! Craig STILL throws in my face.....even last night......well, in Jamaica we did it .....that way!!!! I have to remind him (15 months later) that you are IN THE US OF A !!!! We do NOT do that here !!!

Andre does that too, Luv. But, not in a mean way. Well, sometimes in mean way....like when he couldn't seem to pass the driver's license testing and he pretty much screamed in frustration that in Jamaica he would just buy one. All I did there was say.....is that really a good idea? to have people who can't pass the test actually driving. Think about it. He did and he saw a different perspective.

And, I've found that Andre is not always complementary to JA in his comparisions. Yesterday, he got a tatoo here. I have always said his Jamaican tatoos were not as professional as some I had seen here. (I balked yesterday when he told me the guy did the one he has in 20 minutes....now, I know why.) Yesterday, after his tatoo, he immediately, he said to me....I see the difference.

I guess my husband doesn't do a lot of that complaining and comparing stuff cause I usually just say, get used to it.

Craig wasn't saying in a mean way, just a stupid way.... like not thinking way....which is totally typical !!

Craig wants a tattoo as well, but they are veeeery expensive in our area. The one he would like to get....ugly !!! He HATES needles and when I tell him about getting a tattoo, they use a needle and it HURTS LIKE HE&& (cause I have one on my ankle area)....changes his mind up real quick.

Andre's is just a back band thing on his arm. He's been wanting it for over a year now. Yesterday, after he ran in high heels (more on that in a bit), I agreed to it as an early Christmas present. I gave him a $100 budget. He came in just under that, even with a tip. Everyone was happy all the way around.

Speaking of when and how we met, we haven't compared stories in a long while. How did you ladies meet your boyfriend/fiance/husband? How long did you know each other before you filed? How many times have you been to Jamaica?

I was on a Single's Cruise on Carnival. It stopped off in Grand Cayman and then Jamaica. While in Jamaica, I went on a "booze cruise" to Dunn's River Falls. Tony worked on the catamaran that took us on the cruise (the Cool Jazz). It was love at first sight!! We flirted, he got me drunk on rum punch and the rest is history I gave him my number when I got off the boat and he called me about a week later. We begin talking every day, and 2 months later I went back to JA. I was there 6 times altogether before he moved here to the U.S. Since then, we've been back 3 times together and him once by himself for a funeral. We really only knew each other for about 5 months before we filed the K-1. We didn't officially get engaged until after we sent in the paperwork!! We just knew we couldn't live without each other and if we had to get married more quickly than we liked, so be it. This December, we will have been married for THREE years

Nice story, Rhonda.

I met Andre when I was in Jamaica visiting my boyfriend. He was a bartender at our hotel. I visited a few more times and became friends. He would call me from time to time. One trip ended with me bruised and crying, Andre setting us up with two slightly unusable hotel rooms side-by-side (maintenance man friend), and him talking me through some issues. 2 months later (yah, I know, I'm really slow and stupid sometimes), I broke up with the guy my friends had dubbed Jacka$$, and Andre and I started talking more and more. I knew him a little over a year when we filed. By the time he came here, I had visited him 14 times. Today, we have been married almost 16 months. Life is good. Oh, and BTW, Jacka$$ is still trying to stalk me LD. Some things never change.

ha ur story sounds like mine i was visiting someone else when i met chris chris had nerve to come over and ask me softly is that your boyfriend! i was like this man is crazy while i was sitting next to my then friend and his back was turned looking at tv in the bar yeh but when i visited that guy that trip i knew he was not for me and yes he still trying to get back and says he knows what he did wrong and keep apologizing...i say no sir i have moved on!

So yesterday............The limited the race to 50 guys. Butt ugly shoes. Do men actually see us as wearing such ugly shoes? One guy had zebra striped KISS boots.

They taped the shoes on to try and limit casualities. Made them sign all kinds of waivers.

10 groups of 5 men raced. Whittled the winners down to 2 groups of 5. Whittled down to 2 guys. The prize....4 front row Hanna Montana tickets and 4 back stage passes. (BTW....whoever commented on the Jonas Brothers in a previous post....they are the opening band.)

Andre won his first race. Lost the 2nd. At least he didn't fall, dive on the concrete, or lose a shoe like some men. And, he got a free t-shirt.

I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. (Ah, the things we do for our kids!)

CUTE THANKS FOR SHARING

They went on and on about their fine "boyfriends" and everything that happened on the trip. I asked how long that had been with their boyfriends...and all of them admitted that this was their first trip to Jamaica. When I asked them how they dealt with the attention from gigalos...they all looked at me like I had two heads and said what gigalos?

Oh boy I can already see how this is going to end. It's sad but I see it happen all the time while I'm down there. Last time, a guy on the beach was trying to get ME to give him money - even after I pointed out my JA husband napping on a nearby lounge chair He wanted me to sneak him $20 so he could get home. I told him to take a Juta bus or route taxi and no way would it cost him $20! That got rid of him!!

The guys in JA are so bold-faced. I was leaving JA and checked into the airport at 4:30am and spent some time outside with Mike before I had to go through customs/immigration. As I was going through security this guy was trying to pick me up. I looked at him with disbelief in my eyes. It is so sad, because most of them is just looking for an easy ride and don't care sho they pick up.

Ummmm....in the 10 yrs I've been going to Jamaica, that's how they've ALWAYS been !!!! Anywhere, everywhere...even with my son at my side !!! Everytime we've gone out to catch our ride to Negril, the group of men/boys sitting there.... "1st time to Jamaica" and proceed to TRY .....and I've been 26x !!

Hello Ladies !!!

I am back after spending 6 glorious days in JA with Mike. I had some mishaps during my travel but the time I spent with him was well worth it. I am planning to catch up with all that I've missed in the last week and I see as usual that you girls have been chatting a whole lot, but I love it and miss you all terribly. I felt so lost without you all. LOL

Welcome back Chica,

Glad you had a ball! We missed you too!
