We're going to a barbeque tonight at a friend's house - I am really looking forward to it - outside contact with people other than Jeremy's dysfunctional family!! Woohoo!!

have a great time! I always feel bad that Griff ends up spending so much time with my dysfunctional family!

Yay!!

Our AOS check finally cleared!

ha, "finally". Just shows I am impatient.

Hey, its a start!!!!

Love your new avvie! So sweet!

Hey, its a start!!!!

Thanks Julez!

It's funny (well, no, it actually makes sense) how much easier this part is feeling, since we aren't apart. I'm concerned with getting the AP more than anything b/c we have a wedding to attend October 3rd, and obviously I want Scott to be able to work as soon as he can, but I could kind of care less about the timing of the green card! But, yes, it is a start, and at least we can wait this part out together.

Julez - we should compare notes sometime - I bet Jeremy's family are more dysfunctional than yours!!!

Hi everyone, I'm glad there's been lots of posting since last I visited.

*waves to StP* You've been away for a while, but that's ok, looking after kids takes attention.

Mox - I know I don't know you very well, but some of what I love about VJ is the camraderie, and I'd like to think that runs a little deeper than simply having similar timelines. I've also often wondered how I would feel about coming here if my relationship broke down. In earlier times I think I would have left the forum, but I think now, I have made many friends, and I would stay. I hope you feel the same.

Hi Marta - a friend of mine, who's wife is pregnant sent me pics of her standing in the same outfit in the same position at 15, 18, 21 and 23 weeks, and it made me think of you! I hope you are as happy as she looked in those pictures. They were really a wonder to behold!

I'll have to call you some time and we can compare notes!!! I think my family is pretty screwed up, so its gonna be a tight race!!! May the best psycho family win!!

I dunno - I think we'd need some of that cheap cooking wine you mentioned earlier to get through it - we'd prolly start in tears then just end up laughing as the bottle(s) emptied!!!

[rae_and_scott 1]

Hey Aly, do you have a Trader Joe's near you? I know they are a California thing. Are you familiar with 2-buck Chuck? Probably better than and cheaper than cooking wine!!

[Jeraly 4]

There is one in Cathedral City Walmart also has $2 wine at the moment that we tried for a laugh and it wasn't too bad!!

*gives StP "free pass" until next week*

Careful with that She will disappear again cuz she seems to think it´s cool when people miss her

Have fun, Aly When are you coming for a bbq over here? We are tight on space but we are friendly

Yay!!

Our AOS check finally cleared!

ha, "finally". Just shows I am impatient.

That´s great As for being impatient...I am not impatient anymore I just laugh at their faces

W00t! You think you can get to an October wedding when you file in June/July? I would like to think I can get to a September wedding when I file in March

There goes the patience

In the same outfit I am in right now? Yes I am as happy and even more cuz now we share outfits I should send you pics from those weeks too so you can compare

Walmart also has $2 wine at the moment that we tried for a laugh and it wasn't too bad!!

So did you laugh at the wine or did you drink it and then laughed at yourself?

I know, we are cutting it really close, but it couldn't be helped, what with our interview date being in June. It will suck if we don't get the AP in time (Scott's supposed to be best man), but what can we do? I worry what's happened with yours, Marta, will happen with ours, and it will take forever. No rhyme or reason to the system.

Do you have a September wedding to go to? Or wasn't it something this summer you had plans for?

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Yeah, one´s in August and another one in September I don´t think you should worry though. Only one of us can have bad luck with USCIS and this time it´s me

[Jeraly 4]

Well I think it is stupid... I guess looking at the bright side at least you are together

Hey all...don't feel bad! We have a motto in my family 'Our family puts the 'fun' in dysFUNctional!'

I hope everyone is doing fine. Peter is done with his temporary work (permit expires tomorrow), so we'll have the rest of the summer to get on eachother's nerves. Hey...did you guys know that he constantly talks to me during the news??? Dang that gets on my nerves! hehe...isn't this cute!!! We've spent enough time together to get pet peeves! Aint it great! I never thought we'd ever get to that point. But other than that..we really are sooo happy to be together. We spent the 4th of July quizzing eachother over civics questions for the naturalization exam. He's gonna be READY to be a citizen.

Well all for now, just wanted you all to know I'm still alive and I lurk here from time to time.
