Mary, my dear friend and support... I have known you and Tom from way back... known Tom even longer than I have known you... I can only say that I am glad this nightmare has finally come to an end and that you can be together now... lots of love and hugs to you... and I will meet you once I get to London en route to Houston.

Paul and I met on the Bazaar on the 14th January (he joined my progressive rock forum that day)

July 3rd he flew to England to meet me

We fell in love while he drove all over the place coz I cannot read maps (we were supposed to go to Ingleton - but touched Darlington 4 times, Pierce Bridge 6 times, Scotch Corner twice and Bernard Castle twice and we never did make it to Ingleton)

It has been so long and so much has happened in between...

Arrived in Houston on October 29th 2006

Married 17th November 2006

Lost my father 8th January 2007 (all dates are a blur after this)

Conditional Green Card dated 24th October 2007

Hi everyone,

I showed this thread to Tom the other night and he appreciates all the support you have given us. Gwen, he liked that last line in your signature - screw AOS indeed! Vicky, he loved your crazy cow avatar. I will have to post a picture of our psychedelic cow piggy banks soon. You would like them. Anita, we are both so happy that you have your visa now and look forward to meeting you when you come to London. Tom enjoyed your Prog Goddess tagline :)
