Aww hun - StP is right - it will take a while to settle but if you try to ignore what you miss and find things that you love that you don't get in Germany then you might feel a little better - I am sure Marta has some tricks up her sleeve - I don't think I have *ever* seen her unhappy... I think she might be an alien or something

Yes, an undocumented alien That's what they call me here in USA I was sad like a week before I had to move and then I was sad about a week after I moved and then my family came over for the wedding and I wasn't sad anymore and haven't been sad ever since. We have fun together and we enjoy our life, both ups and downs and I already do stuff here and have some new friends and keep in touch with people in Europe and we might even be visiting them soon (if I ever get the AP at least). That' s what I do...keep myself occupied. If I was just sitting at home all day doing nothing or making no plans, I think that would be depressing. But that's not what I'm doing so it's not depressing

I feel sad that our little Peanut Gallery Posse is so quiet today. Where is everyone???

I was thinking the same. Aly goes round to a friend's house on Tuesdays, which will explain her absence.

That will also explain why it's so quiet!!

But Aly is one of us! Where are our other peeps????

I'm around! But it does feel like a lazy day today. It's raining here.

Here too! And I am so freaking tired right now. We are still not done getting my house reawdy for sale and I am just tired of doing work in it.

The good news is that the home inspection for the new house went well on Saturday, so we are all systems go this time around!! Plus, since Griff's green card is approved he can be on the mortgage as a co-borrower!! I guess there were a few good reasons why that other house didn't work out!!

I've been getting an absolute shedload of house and yard work done

Been busy here with work, Gretchen's pregnancy sickness, AOS, and normal life. Its a hand full right now. I hope to have our AOS sent off by end of the month. We hope the morning sickness passes in a month so she can get back to normal. She currently gets motion sick in the car so that has limited her to the house or walks around the neighborhood.

Gretchen also has some homesickness. She misses her family and the food and her dog there. She has had incredible adjustments in the last few months.

oh wow, i envy you about your greencard progress. i didn't get any touches or anything so far. it#s about to drive me NUTS.

@chris: yeah, i can imagine that it's a lot for you guys, just having moved, still adjusting, newly wed and preggo. but i'm sure that you guys can handle it.

i have crazy babyfeever, but i don't allow myself to follow it, as i feel that we first need more time for us, to become closer and a better team. plus, i want to have some savings before we start a family, especially as i want to be SHM.

homesickness is hitting me hard this week, especially as eric as a staph infection in the finger he broke recently. the medication is really strong and he's not really enjoyable....... ohwell.

but work is becoming easier and more enjoyable, so that's something, and the pay isn't that bad after all

@ stp: i didn't do anything but yardwork for a week after i arrived here. but it was good for my spirits and the yard.....

I changed my ID! I feel so fresh and young now!!

Agnes - totally hear you on the baby front And I want to be SHM too but time will tell how that all pans out - just taking things one step at a time - everything will work out how it is meant to I am sure

I changed my ID! I feel so fresh and young now!!

w00t!! Very cool!!!

On another note - I've just heard tell that you have to pay separately for AP... I thought it was included along with EAD in the AOS application as long as you filed for them all at the same time...? Someone else (can't remember username but friends on facebook ><) had to wait to get their green card to leave the country because it cost $300 extra for AP... that's not right is it??????

[*julez* 124]

Aly, if you apply for AP as part of AOS you do not have to pay extra.

[Jeraly 4]

That's what I thought...

[*julez* 124]

Never believe the infidels!

[*julez* 124]

OK guys, I'm going to be gone for a few days at a business conference so I'll see you later!

I just wanted to say good luck to Susie for Friday / Sunday!! I hope you have a wonderful time and I look forward to seeing pics of your wedding and party!!

Take care everyone!!
