I was just thinking the EXACT same thing

What did LisaD say about me not being back here the next day....*blushes*

Everything went great! He landed in Cincinatti as scheduled and got through passport patrol fine. They only asked him to give his index fingerprints, the ones they usually ask him to give upon entry. The officer had a look at his K-1 Visa, and opened the mysterious brown envelope. He only asked a couple of questions, like how we met and how long we've known each other, when we plan to marry, etc. He informed Andy about the fact that we have to get married and file for adjustment of status within the 90 days. He also explained to Andy how to obtain a social security number. Then that was it! Andy said he was a very nice guy.

Customs pulled him aside briefly, Andy said he thought it was just the random "1 in every 5" they pull aside. They were a little curious as to why he had SO MUCH BISTO, hehehe. Andy explained that the copious amounts of gravy granules and Yorkie chocolate bars were for his fiance who could not readily get them here in the states, they seemed fine with that and passed him on.

Then he was off to wait for his connection flight while I informed just about every single living person I know that he'd gotten in without problems [even the cats, who did not seem amused at my excitement]. I wasn't in all that much of a rush since it was 3PM or so and I kept thinking 'He arrives after 7PM". I headed off to get the balloons, which took the party store girl about 20 minutes to inflate for some reason, browsed the store and then went to pick-up the cake. I was just taking my own sweet time, then I noticed it was 5PM and only then did it occur to me "Oh #######, it's over an hour to the airport so that means I have to leave at 6PM". I pretty much sped home, heheh.

Managed to arrange the balloons and put up the 'Welcome Home" sign very rapidly. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to shower, shave my legs, put on my dress, dry and do my hair, and put make-up on within the span of 20 minutes. The whole time I was thinking "Andy is not going to even notice about half of these little details, because he's a GUY", but I didn't care, hehe. The inner Martha Stewart just spurned me on.

I thought I might arrive late to the airport but I managed to arrive just in time. They were having trouble with the trams from the airside to the terminal, so only one was running with small groups. That whole thing where every tramload I'd be searching faces but didn't see his [i know him well enough to know he's usually the last off the plane and last off the trams though, hehehe]. Finally I spotted him and it was just amazing. Much hugging, kissing, and Zilla giggling ensued, to the point the ushers had to make us move since we were blocking the greeting area, hehehe.

We headed home for celebration. Nothing huge, just the two of us and my Mom, talking to everyone else via phone. Had an awesome dinner of my Mom's BBQ ribs. We didn't even get to the cake after all, we were so friggin' full. We spent a lot of time laughing at one of the cats, who was terrified of the balloons for some reason, ducking and diving every which way. She's a HUGE Maine ####### and usually beats the ####### out of the other two cats as she is the resident bully. To see this mountain lion so bothered by some balloons was rather amusing.

Since then we've just been settling in and saying "Holy #######, we don't have to go back to the airport again for a long time, YOU LIVE HERE NOW!" a lot. It probably won't sink in for awhile since we're so used to our time together being so temporary. It's no mistake that he's here though, as now the sweet sounds of loud, loud snoring are once again keeping me up at night, hehe.

Probably around Monday we'll be sorting out the next details of when to get his SS# and getting him a bank account, etc. The ceremony will probably be in a couple of weeks. I bought a small blue dress to wear, even though we're just doing a quick courthouse thingy, but it needs exchanging first. Another girly detail. Still, it's through mail-order and if they don't replace it soon, I'll just wear a Pirate outfit or something.

So that's the story! He's here and we're mulling over all the AOS paperwork. We're still in disbelief, but it's GOOD disbelief.

What a lovely post, am so pleased everything went to plan and that the reunion was so fantastic! Of course, the most important thing is "have you eaten the cake yet?". Cake is an important part of life and I'd hate to think of it going to waste....

May you have a wonderful life together!
