It's Dec 31st 2024. Few more hours to the New Year's. I'm sitting on a comfy couch, reading an interesting book, in a warm cozy living room while my beautiful hubby (I can officially call him that now!) is munching his dinner in the dining room.
And I can't help but think how this year started. On January 1st 2024, we both were miserable. Exhausted after a year and a half apart. 15 months to get our NoA 2 for our I-129f petition. Mr. Fiance at the time had to board his flight back to US. I had balled my eyes out earlier at the holiday family get together, only making it harder for him to leave. He still prefers to not recollect that horrible day.
And now we're back together, forever we say, and never again apart, we say. I'm a happily married Mrs now. I'm proud of us! For making it through this heart aching journey while our friends and family got married so easily around us.
We still got more of this... THIS! To do. We got the next AOS journey ahead. But it doesn't bother us anymore. We'll take it one step at a time. We're together. Life is sweet again. We'll be opening some happy drinks and welcoming the New Year tonight.
Wish you all a happy new year of marital bliss. We all have truly earned it!
