I'm bored as heck, Anybody have cute or funny memories of their spouses that made you laugh or fall in love with them all over again? Maybe it will ease the frustration of USCIS

None that I can share here.

I remember once Wael and I were online reading the posts on VJ and one of the questions asked was "what was inside the manila envelope". Wael said "ohhhh they are from the Philipines" and I said "huh".....He said "I don't know if what is inside of the manila envelope is the same as the Cairo envelope"!!!! Welllllllll we had a very quick lesson on "manila envelopes" !!! I still laugh when I see a manila envelope.

He is such a sweetie!!!

I remember we were in our families garden/vegetable area and he put a blanket on the ground under a tree then took me next to another tree told me to put my hands over my eyes and close my eyes and he went away for couple of seconds what felt like 5 mins lol and he brought back a small rose in my hand and his face was so red he said its for u babe. Awwww like a kid.


Another one was when we were cooking with my dad he saw I was so professional in cutting onions etc.. he tried cutting the chicken like a strong guy or something couple of times and my dad said ya ben the chicken is already dead why are you trying to kill it again. lol man he's so cute.

come on there has to be at least one cute - kid like memory he gave u!

mine knocked me up my last trip/visit... thats kind of a souvenir I guess

I don't know about bridget or anyone else but I am too freaking depressed over the wait to come up with cutsie stories. I just want him here already

"mine knocked me up my last trip/visit... thats kind of a souvenir I guess"

how romantic lol life is short really you can't take all time being stressed out. I don't know I can die tomorrow so I make sure my spouse knows I love him even if we're fighting...which we are 24/7

well..............i cant even get my paper work out of nvc....when i can actually get a package from them...ill be feeling much more romantic

one night, he sent me a really cute text message to say good night...it was one of those cutsie sms messages you get online...anyway, so i liked it a lot and i told him how cute it was and a couple of months later, we had a little argument...not really an argument, but i wasn't so happy when finished speaking and a little while later, he sent me that same message and at the end, he wrote, "i know you liked it, so i wanted to send it again'



i also had a similar experience with the flower, also from the garden behind the house



..this process is, by far, one of the most depressing, stressful processes i've ever dealt with--but, in the end, it's all worth it and i would go through it over and over and over again to be with my husband!..i did have times where i couldn't crack a smile for weeks at a time..unless i was speaking to him of course....

i wish everyyyyyyyyyone, a very fast, smooth process and a very happy reunion insha allah!

My whole trip to Lebanon we both acted like kids. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life. The one thing that we talk about the most was a rental car his friend got for "us" to use....which we only got to use late at night cause his friend had it during the day! But it made so many creaks and just noises in general. Every time we turned a corner or hit a pot hole (which was often, my husband can't drive!) it made some sort of noise. It will be a month I will never ever forget. I was so nervous to go there and meet his family, and now his mom would kill him for me, she cried for a week before I left cause she was going to miss me (and no one ever cries alone in my presence!).

I can't wait to start making some new memories with him and our daughter, it's a long hard journey, some are longer than others, but like someone else said, the end result is so worth it and I would do it over and over again for him.

hmmmmm.....well I love the way he says "okie dokie panokie" Sounds funny with his thick accent!

kinda cute when he texts me "you make me so hoot". lol

Actually I'm kind of like wahrania in the sense that I try to shut all that stuff out you know? It's too painful to remember nice loving things sometimes. Maybe when I'm not so depressed I'll make a list. Most of all though he makes me laugh and I make him laugh. We just *click* you know?

Hmm, there are a lot. One was when I was in Jordan for the fourth time working in the field, I got a fever/cold. I didn't want to go to the doctor, but I did decide I could stay home from the field for a day. I went over to our apartment (I had to live on campus while working as TA) and laid there all hot and sick. He brought me chocolate, oranges, bananas, and carried me to and from the bedroom. He also came to visit me the next day during lunch and brought me more fruit and pineapple juice.

When we got married, one night I casually mentioned craving chocolate. He got dressed, dropped what he was doing and brought back some candy.

He made a picnic for us at the Dead Sea, bringing the makings for sandwiches and sang to me in his ridiculous voice.

Sometimes he brings me flowers.

He sneaked out one night and brought me back some veggies after I became really sick and we didn't have any at home (needed to go shopping). He got me my favorite tomatoes.

once, when i broke a glass in the kitchen, he yelled "stop!!" and I froze. he ran in and carried me out because I was barefoot.

He cooks when i feel tired or bad. He cooked for me in Jordan. He does the dishes almost every other night.

etc, etc.

When my husband saw a baby elephant in Bangkok....He began to run down the street following the elephant with me chasing after him. He wanted to pet the baby elephant while it was more focused on my fruit smoothie.
In that moment, I saw a boyish excitement in my normally staid, practical husband . It was a good thing.

you brought back alot of memories. I've never been pregnant but I had a craving for ice cream in the morning and my husband drove 2 hours to surprise me and bring ice cream cuz theres no icecream in the cold months near us.

Another time when we were fighting he took me to a restaurant i liked and started smiling like a dumbass and licking his lips sexually while he ate i hate him hahaha hes so goofy.


i miss him

My husband was in the bathroom shaveing. After he was done I went into the bathroom to find on the mirror......wrote in shaveing cream ..."I LOVE YOU CHERYL" in a big heart

Another thing he dose is save every thing!!! He even saved my empty cig's packs. I asked why are you saving them? He says they mean something to me. They are my wife's and she touched them.

When we first met online after a couple of months...I cut a chunk of my hair and tied a bow around it and sent it to him... every so offten he takes it and touches it cus he loves how soft my hair is.

I can just keep going on and on......there is so many memories
now i miss him even more

I love it when he saves things- I feel so special awwww cute stories.

sarahaziz - good post...I have so many many memories....I love driving w/him with his cassette player!! and listenting to Eddie Rabbits I love a rainy night...wel he was singing and of course I was belting the tune!!! Very very very funny......and he mimics American talking...and will say okay okay bababababye...and I will say ikska biska mish mish msalam msalam!!

He is also so romantic and is always texting me or saying sweet things....and he says I make him feel like a bird in the sky....its so nice to remember all the memories..and when I begin to feel sad and down...I imagine my life before I met him....and now....and it really helps me to know I have something so special...and sure its hard now....and I know one day...we will be tog and our love and our rel w/more strength because of this time now.....

rabbina ya khalleko le ba3d fil donya wa fil akhra!!
may God keep you all happy together now and foreverrrr!!!

Not husband-wife yet, but who cares!!
Daniel is a head banging, heavy metal listening, tough military kinda guy and I love it when he sings all the cutsie love songs to me whenever I am feeling low.
He's even agreed to wear a 'pink' necktie to the dinner hosted by my mum and dad, just cuz it matches my saree.. I love him.. he soooooo cute (hope he doesn't read this - he will never sing to me again!! LOL)

Ok so I guess not fair since my husband is here now but I like to share!

When I was living in Marrakech in the summer I got really sick (I miscarried but didn't find that out until later). I had these horrible fevers and chills and would just shake. Add to that Marrakech is like a freakin oven in August. So my hubby loaded me and our little guy up on the train and promptly took us to Tangier for a week, to escape the heat and help me get better. On the trip up, it was an overnight train, and our cabin was sort of full. Our guy didn't want to sleep and I was sick, so my husband took him and walked all over the train and talked with people so that I could have the whole bench to sleep on.

On this same trip I was craving American food, especially potato chips. Needless to say I hadn't seen a potato chip and assumed well i guess Morocco doesn't have potato chips. I said something about it and he said well why didn't you say something of course we have those! No lie he went and bought a whole box of these chips!

This isn't a memory yet but I've been sworn to secrecy by my sister in law that he's in Morocco now (visiting) and planning a Moroccan wedding for us! I'm not supposed to know but she spilled the beans so I'm sure that will be a new memory as well.

Hang in there girls, I know it's murderous to wait but keep the faith! I think remembering the good things can take some of the pain away and help you remember why you're doing this.

I love to dance and I am very happy that my husband does too though you might not imagine it at first because he is so shy. I remember riding in taxis with him in KTM and he would tell the driver to turn up the radio if there was a good song and start boogieing in the back seat...

At Christmas time I visited my mom in CA and the time difference is even greater there than from NY. I was on cam with him early one morning(the only time he can chat since it's evening over there) and my mom was walking around with a towel on her head, making coffee. She was embarrassed about not being made up but Govi really wanted to see her since he has never met her. I told him she was embarrassed and he said 'Tell her she doesn't need to be embarrassed in front of her son.' I also love when he makes funny faces on cam just because he loves to see me laugh...
