Que,

Maybe time to purge some of the stuff you dont wear anymore thats taking up space? Or do you wear it all still, you fashion dish! :P

I just had the realization that I need to make room for my husbands toiletries. I solved the closet problem..now I need to get rid of my thousands of products in the bathroom cabinets :lol:

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Yes, waiting for Documents to be mailed to NVC first then for case completion hopefully by scd week of April in time for a possible May interview. Just don't know if we will make it. We are cutting it really close to scd week of April. Depends on how fast our review will be done at NVC and if there are no RFEs or other obstacles. For now, we need the docs to get there first. I wish I had our packets. I would have overnited the damn thing to NVC yesterday and they would have received them today! But gotta wait for the lawyer to review and sign his name. Without his signature, the packets can't go out and he said he's do it by Monday at the latest. GRRRRRR :angry: wasting 2 days for one silly signature :bonk:

Oh yea, he knows. He was freaking out yesterday because his phone isn't working well and he is afraid to miss the call. I need to call the embassy and give them his mother's number just in case.

Thanks for asking...

No problem! :) He should definitely get his mom's # WOW, u guys are really close! Have u started filling out ur DS 156 and DS 230 Part I and II as well as ur I 134 yet?

I am scrambling to get everything

:lol: Lisa, I was thinking the same thing (our fashionista guru lol). I tell my hubby no way I am emptying my other half of the closet before he is here! We shall do it together! I look forward to unpacking and hanging his clothes where they belong! Been waiting too damn long to do that!! But I love teasing him about how my clothes are enjoying the extra space for now hehehe :devil:

My rule is anything that hasn't left my closet within 6-9 months is potential for being donated out. As tough as it is to part with some of my things, it must be done!!! :)

I adopted that rule a few years ago. It IS hard, but goodwill scores every 4-6 month or so with me :lol:

Yesterday the Purple Heart came and picked up 7 contractor bags full of clothes. Same rule applies to me too. If I haven't seen it in 6 months or so and I haven't missed it...... Out it goes.

I also threw out 7 bags of ####### last Wednesday. I still have alot to get cleaned up. Its funny how we are all cleaning house. I still have to get to my closet too.

I need to clear out the dresser drawers. I'm a jeans #######. I need to tell myself that you can only wear one pair at a time...LOL

I used to look good in jeans. Now I am considering going to the camping store for my wardrobe. I'm sure they have nice colorful TENTS !!!

BTW my papers are at the embassy. Ball is in my husbands court now...
