Howdy all (and especially my fellow August filers). I sent off my FedEx package with my wife and stepson's I-130 packets. I am ecstatic that I have a FedEx number to obsess about over the weekend.

I am off to update my timelines. If some moderator-y type person could leave this thread here for a bit and then move it over to the progress sub-forum in a day or two, I would appreciate it. I didn't post it there, because I was afraid I might lose track of some of my new friends.

Am I a new friend??!!!! Well, they probably won't get your fedex package until Monday, unless they actually work weekends (but gov't employees don't usually do that! In fact, today is Federal Friday!)...

I did my timeline too, because I couldn't add anymore to my signature block or whatever it's called!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

I specifically thought of you, Finn, since I didn't see you over in the progress sub-forum. But there are others who I feel connected to and didn't see any of them either.

Since more than 24 hours have gone by, could a moderator do me the favor of moving this to the progress sub-forum. Thanks a bunch.
