Tony and I met on the internet at a gamesite called iSketch (http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml). I am an administrator at that site and he was a regular player. I had heard his nickname for a couple of years, but not actually played with him. Around September or October of 2003, we began to play in a room together and quickly began to look forward to seeing each other online. After a few months, we started to chat on instant messenger, and eventually the phone as well. After over a year of playing, chatting, talking, exchanging pictures, mailing letters and cards and such, things were serious enough for Tony to come and visit. He arrived at the Philadelphia International Airport on February 4th, 2005. Everything was even better than we thought it would be. Before he was to return to the Netherlands, we knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. He returned to the Netherlands on May 4th, 2005. Our K1 was granted in September, and we married October 29, 2005. Tobe got his EAD in January 2006 and started work right away. Our AOS was approved on July 18, 2006. We found out we were pregnant just a couple of weeks after! Our son was born on March 17, 2007!! We finally filed to lift conditions on July 11, 2008. It is cutting it close. We shall see.
