StillthePrettiest,

I actually started tracking them myself on paper. I know that sounds boring and time consuming but actually it only takes a few minutes a day. I wanted to do this to help pass the time till my approval date.

Debz,

If you will fly between Omaha and UK, you should try Northwest connecting in Minneapolis. Or United to either Chicago or Denver. Lucky you will live right in the middle of our country so you can go explore the whole thing. Omaha is getting nice too, still cheap to buy a nice home, friendly people, a good place to raise a family, you should be excited!

Another big Vegas fan here.

Scott and I went there in 2005 and fell in love with it. We've decided to get married there at the Little White Wedding Chapel. We were hoping to get married on 30th January 2008 but now it looks like it will be 'whenever'.

hi to the newbie

welcome!!!

i met eric when i was on my exchange-year in arizona. all the exchange-students have been out bargolfing that night, and i've never been that drunk before in my whole life. he asked me out on a breakfast-date at 8.30am the next morning, to test if i would get up despite the massive hangover, to check out if i would be "worth it". lol. the rest is history.

VEGAS!!! we will maybe do the vegas-weddign thing elvis, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it would be SO MUCH FUN! partying will all our friends!!!

and honeymoon in disney!!!!! (don't tell Eric, he'll probably run......)

i'm still trying to solve my dress-problem. i ordered another corsage, kinda curious if this one works more appropriately.....

oh, btw: i just decided that all the july filers will get their NOA2 by the end of november. (2 glasses of wine make me feel very important)

@debz: about the airlines: american is a nightmare! i really really LOVE united and lufhansa. air france is awesome, too!

We're thinking if we have to have a non legal wedding then the legal wedding after then we will make the legal wedding a big vegas thing with all the cheese - we'll have had our white wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii

I've still not seen anywhere exciting in the US. Just Grand Island (nicks hometown), Lincoln airport and Omaha airport in NE. Newark airport, Denver airport, both chicago airports and chicago from the train that connects them.

Part of me really wants to see vegas other than on CSI but as a scot.....well those temperatures will KILL me!!!!! Nebraska going to be bad enough. As a scot I can't cope once the temp goes over 80F, so for the majority of June/july/august in NE with temps 100F you'll find me sitting in the ice box ! Vegas would be death of me.

I know this off subject....what have peoples experiences been with various airlines? I hate continental, aer lingus lost nicks guitar when he came over and refuse to pay compensation....american scewed up my return flights first time I went and I ended up spending 10hrs in ORD. They did sort it though, gave me free access and food in business lounge, upgraded me to first class and gave me $500 towards a future trip so they are forgiven.

Vegas isnt so bad in the winter time, if fact is amzing right now!! very comfortable and warm enough to go swimming. I am a scot too; my last name is Scott

Funny as my mom's maiden name is England. Go figure!! haha!

we are getting married here

my mom and step dad were married here 15 years ago, since then other families have chosen it as well for the history of it and lack of 'vegas cheese'

lots of U.K. people in this forum!!

Being a resident of Omaha, I'll have to agree with your assessment of Omaha! It is nice.

[Jeraly 4]

Yes - big up the Brits and semi-Brits!! Oh and big up all the other July filers too - just cause we rock

what are people doing for Halloween?

I have to dress as a devil with the other Drai's girls and Redbull is paying for us to have our hair and makeup done as well as body painting. We are all meeting up at our sister club Tryst to be made up, staying there for a bit when they open at 10pm and then heading to work. Our nightclub opens at 1 am and I anticipate it being a very busy and long night!!

It will be funny to see all us devils marching around the Wynn.

I cant wait to get through this weekend of work as my love is coming next friday. It's nice to have a distraction from the wait!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Well - I am going to be going to bed shortly!! How exciting!! Have a fancy dress party to go to on Saturday though

[StillThePrettiest 3]

already in bed... worked all day for one job, had an 8pm meeting for my other job, and have to catch a 6.25am train for the first job tomorrow

as none of my housemates have permanent employment, however, the house is not yet quiet enough for sleeping; they tend to keep rather different hours to me...

Vegas is not that bad. Its really all a matter of heat and humidity.

I live in Massachusetts, it doesn't get as "hot" as Vegas here but it is worse.

In Vegas you just have the Heat, your bodies persperation keeps you cool. When I was there I walked over a mile down the strip in long pants and a polo shirt and was perfectly fine. The temp was high 90's.

In Massachusetts in the high 90's you also have high humidity. Because of the humidity your persperation doesnt evaporate and sticks to you. Walking a mile down a street in MA in the summer in the same temp with high humidity would be much worse.

When I was in the Philippines I dont think I ever saw a thermometer, so I never knew the temperature when I was there. What I can tell you thou, is that all summer once I got back home I never needed to use my AC, with the exception of the one in the room with the computers.

I know I want Charry home with me as soon as possible, however I don't want her to come over here from 90-100 degree weather and immediately run into a New England Winter, once started my car and the thermo on the dash said minus 15, and scare her off.

If final approval of her visa, meaning interview etc, ends up being in March, or later, like I am expecting, I have no problem with waiting another month or 2 until Winter is over to come here. It would also allow me to goto the Philippines again and bring her home with me in May or June when the weather isen't freezing and it is starting to get warmer. We then have all year to prepare her for the colder weather.

On the positive side thou, if she comes here in the winter she will probably want to snuggle up closer to me at night to stay warm.

i got a touch today

[DKM 0]

Arrta, that's because you didn't feel the real Vegas heat. Vegas 115 is much hotter than Vegas 95. The hottest anywhere in the US has to be Louisiana in August. I felt like melted wax...

What's this a July filer getting a touch? Maybe your file fell out of a box they were shuffling around... or could our first approval come next week?

That sounds awesome... I have friends who just got married at sunset on a beach somewhere in Hawaii... THe pics are so romantic awesome, she didnt even need a fancy dress to make her special. I am not sure how our wedding is going to be... I am a little tired of all the stress now... but hopefully i get back in the mood for planning things once we get the NOA 2....

Definatly alot of UK-ers here. Seem to be a fair number of Nebraskans too. I feel a nebraska meet up in Omaha sometime coming on. I'm actually going to be starting my american life in Grand Island. I'm a country lass, born and brought up in the kind of villages where everyone knows everyone. I lived in Glasgow city for 2 years and hated it. Not a big fan of the city at all so Grand Island kinda suits me. ALOT bigger than I'm used too but still laid back and surrounded by fields. We are considering heading to Lincoln or Omaha in the future though as bigger scope for me running my own business as I have done here in scotland.

I'm really hoping some of us UK-ers get same day interviews! We can go for a wee drink afterwards.

[Jeraly 4]

"Wee drink"?? I am thinking full on partay!!!

Of course Debz is driving as she doesn't do drunk!!! Lol We might all end up back in Scotland though...
