Well, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm already a VJholic as someone said! It never hurts to read up.

I met my SO last October while playing WoW! He flew out here right before Christmas and we spent a wonderful 11 days together. It was amazing. Admittedly though, I've known from the time I first heard his voice that he was the one from me.

He's down in Idaho, and I'm up in Northern Alberta. It's been difficult so far, but I must say that we are SO lucky that we get to visit at least once a month. I think it's the only thing keeping me sane right now.

We will begin the whole filing process for the I-129F as soon as my divorce is finalized. That kind of makes me a little upset. What a silly mistake I made in marrying my ex, and now it's holding me up from being with my soulmate! Oh well, like my SO says, worrying and being upset about it isn't going to help now is it?! So I'm doing my best not to worry, but the thought of being away from him for another 6 months is heartbreaking, especially when we had originally planned on being together in October when we didn't realize what kind of timeline all these visas had!

Anyhow, that's our story in a nutshell. I look forward to getting to know you guys!

Thanks!

Amy
