Well, it's been 1.5 months since I've posted here and since my fiancee and her daughter arrived in the US. Yes. She lied to me. She said she was not a good cook, but that completely untrue. I love her cooking.

I have to say, things could not be better. Way better than I ever imagined. Her and her daughter are great. We are more in love now than ever before. Everyone has adjusted so well.

We have done so many fun things like fishing, camping, hiking, crabbing, 4 wheeling, gardening, traveling, and shopping. Life is great.
