Hi my beloved March Whiners! I appreciate the concern about how I'm doing. I'm doing as good as one can hope for considering the circumstances.

 

I'm slowly getting over the loss of my fur baby. There's still times where I wake up in the middle of the night expecting to hear her snoring, but alas there's only silence & my fan going. I got her ashes back last Friday so she's finally home (kind of morbid, maybe... but I somewhat feel better having her close). I keep having to argue my family down to not get me another dog as they think it'll make me feel better. I just can't do it right now and wouldn't be fair to not mourn her loss the right way.

 

I've been trying to keep busy so I don't sit for too long and start thinking about everything. My mom and step dad recently opened up a Mexican Taco Truck (it's so funny seeing a Cuban woman making Mexican tacos.. never thought I'd see the day) so I've been spending my weekends there mainly helping out and getting paid in free tacos (yumm..). We're participating in a Food Truck Festival this Saturday so that should be fun. Also keeping busy at work as well. I know I'll most likely be getting layed off in Sept, but I just don't have any nagging feelings of looking for something else yet. I know God will let me know when it's time and when he's opened up the perfect position for me. Working out has been a great stress reliever too. Been trying to work out every day and I work out with a trainer 3x a week who has been a great friend, mentor, therapist, and drill sergeant. He listens to me and then makes me work out so hard I'm too tired to think about anything else afterward. Best part is he doesn't flinch when I begin to cuss him out for making me run LOL.

 

I finally started going out too and went dancing Friday night with my sis and a co-worker to this lounge that has Latin Nights on Fridays. I'm usually a hermit who stays home and watches Netflix or the Fire stick all night, but I had a blast and was able to salsa dance my worries away for the night... I'm hesitant to say I met someone at the lounge. We danced, had good chemistry and he was patient when I tried leading him instead of the other way around LOL! But, I'm not ready. I'm not ready to even think about anything at this point because I'm still stuck on my ex-fiance... I guess I can call him that now. It's been almost 2 months since I've talked to my ex and I've tried to reach out to him to no avail. I think it's safe to say that it's over even though I have this feeling telling me not to give up. I just can't fight alone. I guess it would be different if he actually responded to my advances, but because he hasn't I have to kind of give up. I'll keep the visa going at least until it gets to the embassy and see what happens from there; I hope things change but I also know if it doesn't then I'll have to move on sooner or later.

 

I continue to pray and put faith in God. I'm trying not to worry about the things that are going on and that I'm unable to control. God always gets his way and will make sure what's yours will be yours and what's not for you will go away forever. He always has a way for you to learn your lesson even if it has to be the hard way because your hardheaded. So we'll see what happens.

 

I'm praying for you March filers to get your NOA2 ASAP. We're finally in June! Can you believe? And here we were in March and April talking about OMG CAN JUNE/JULY COME ALREADY?!?!!?! Why is it taking so looonngg?!?! and BAM we're here! LOL!! We have some really special people in our monthly thread and I can't wait for everyone to be with the loves of their lives and begin their new chapter with their other half.

Getting all teary eyed at just the thought of my F being here for these special times. His family has never really celebrated any holidays or birthdays or anything, so I am really looking forward to him getting to experience these times with family <3 Also, where he lives, I found it quite odd that when it is your birthday, it is celebrated by that person bring treats and drinks for everyone to enjoy... so, his birthday is the end of September and I really really hope he is here (I know it's doubtful) so, I can make this day completely about him without  him having to throw his own party lol  

That's true! :)) Don't worry, soon you'll be able to do that.. Over here in the Philippines we spend it with family even if we don't have lots of foods to eat every special occasions. 😊😊 And my fiancé, since they're Mexican, they celebrate it too with families.. So he makes sure he's going back home around special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas.. but during his birthday, he doesn't really celebrate it like we do.. So I'm planning to do the same as your plan to make him happy, too. ❤ 

I'll just miss spending New Year's over here. :(( sigh....

Nice to hear from you!

It's great that you are able to stay strong and positive no matter what.

Your (ex-?) fiance must be blind not to see what an amazing person he is losing.

Whatever happens next, I do hope you can find your happiness!

[Diego&Dianna 180]

Juuuune 🎉I want to see our months forum filled with approvals! It'll make me so happy  not expecting mine til July likely since I'm towards the end of march filers but you never know!!!! ❤️ In a few short months, this gap in distance will be a memory and we'll allllll be with our significant others which is SO exciting to think about. Like, I think people who are not going through this situation have no idea what it's like. Sometimes I ask my friends "what are you guys up to?", and they reply that they're just sitting at home watching tv with their boyfriend/girlfriend and I'm like, uhh you have no idea I would give anything just for us to finally be together in the same place, permanently, not just vacations to visit each other ha! It's now been three months that we've been apart since our last visit and I'm just annoyed at the wait, like everyone else I  just want the waiting to be over lol. Let's all put good vibes out there!!! Xoxo

💯 this,people at work say to me it'll be ok, everything will work out, our future lies in the hands of someone we will never meet and with the stroke of a pen 🖋 can deny your happiness 😔, I try not to think about worse case scenarios but it's so hard 😔, my fiance is the stronger one I'm weak,ever since she left UK Monday I've been so miserable  😔 we got our NOA2 near first week March so who knows when it's our turn to be processed, the wait for June to come has been stressful, I have a feeling the next month or so will be more anxious. 

Good luck to all us March whiners
