    • Having to be apart so long was very hard to take, but it was okay once we were together again...

    • Wait? Visa? We didn't know anything about that when we got married and it was a nasty surprise to be seperated.

    • We didn't wait. We married on the spur of the moment and haven't been apart.

We aren't married yet, but I think this whole being apart thing definitely has done and will continue to do us good. It has made our relationship extremely strong. We talk about everything and we have gotten to know eachother a lot better than we probably would have done otherwise! And I know 100% that if we can get through this whole process and still have exactly the same love for eachother that we do now, then we are in it for the long run. I believe that if you can get through something like this then you can get through just about anything.

I agree though that I would much prefer being with him full time though!!!

We are not done with the waiting yet.

The wait is a rollercoaster of emotions because we have no idea when it is going to end. Once we get that interview date the wait will not be that bad. At least I will have something solid to look forqard to instead of the neverending blackhole of USCIS.

But it has made us stronger than either of us thought. We are better able to read each other and be there for each other when times are tough. It has taught us that we have more patience than either of us imagined. And no matter what, we are going to make it through this in one piece

THIS PROCESS IS NOT GOING TO BREAK US!!!
