Hey Tamisha,

I not fully aware of your situation, but I know how hard it is to be away from the person you love. I see that you were doing the K1, but now you guys are getting married in Oct. Well congratulations on the marriage and wedding. definitely dont push it back. I am sure thats all the both of you have to look forward to. Start all the planning, as much as you can anyway, that will keep you in good spirits when thinking about your relationship.

Me and my guy have gotten inventive with our relationship. We send video diaries to one another. We both have digital cameras with a 1G memory card, plus we have memory sticks. I make videos of my daily life, or I talk to him through the camera and then I email the files to him, and vice versa. He downloads them at the local library or to his memory stick and plays them whenever he gets near a computer. If your guy has a camera or stick, this could be a cool idea for you to have conversations (so to speak) face to face. Otherwise I try to make plans, plans, plans. Everyweek I have a new goal of something I want to do. This keeps me busy. I make plans that help get me prepared for the Jamaica visit, the wedding, immigration, organinzing the house, renovating the house. Anything that can keep me busy, but also keeps me busy with a purpose of being closer to my man. That helps me.

I know its a hard struggle, and you sound like you have so much on your plate. I can see how that all is a nightmare. I nearly had a nervous breakdown last week with all my struggles. But I find solitude and comfort in my SO and he helps me get through it all just by his caring words. You two should just remind yourselves that you are each others rock, and life jacket....whn one is falling, the other has strength to lift you up. Depend on each other, emotionally as husband and wife. I think that will help create a strong bond and foundation that will make this time apart a bit more easier and make your lives together that more beautiful. (L)

Marlita,

That was a really nice post. I think its so cute how you and your SO exchange video diaries. It reminds me of me and my hubby (especially when we first met) and how we would send texts and pictures back and forth. To some people it seems so corny, but when the person you love is so far away, its the only thing you have.

"You two should just remind yourselves that you are each others rock, and life jacket....whn one is falling, the other has strength to lift you up. Depend on each other, emotionally as husband and wife. I think that will help create a strong bond and foundation that will make this time apart a bit more easier and make your lives together that more beautiful." This was just beautifully put. Oh, I am getting so emotional...once again. :crying:

Hang in there!! I know it is hard. Eric has proven if you wait it can still be possible. Heck I have been waiting on my hubby to arrive for ever. 9 1/2 years come June 3rd. I understand with school keeping you not from going. I didn't visit my hubby for a year and a 1/2 trying to get my masters done and paid. How are the wedding plans coming? Do you have the colors picked out? All the best.

Why do flights from Chicago to MoBay have to leave so early I am so not a morning person :hehe::whistle:

I am stressing about making it through immigration when they open your bags. So many goodies. They are mostly for my immigration officer friends. I am acting like I know no one when I get there. If all goes well May 30th Dwain will come home. I am not buying the ticket until we have the visa. He is quiting work on May 26th. Thanks for all the well wishes!!!! I can't believe this day has finally come.

Full report soon come :luv:

congrats !! best wishes enjoy ur trip...
