It's obvious what I am most thankful for this year....Although Shawn is not beside me I am thankful for the opportunity to travel in the next 48hours to see him :dance: I am thankful for our upcoming appointment and the faith I have that he will return to the states with me. Last but not least I am thankful that he and I, as well as all our family and friends are in good health and spirits! (L)

My only question to my VJ Fam today is, What are you thankful for this year?

“Thanksgiving is a day to count the blessings in your life,

It is the time to celebrate and be joyous; it is a day of pride.

It is a day to acknowledge the presence of the people, who form our world,

and to realize how precious their worth.

On this day, I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving my dear friends!”

I am most Thankful for stress relief. This journey has been overwhelming to say the least. Also, most importantly that God as continued to Bless my family, and that everyone that was here last year is still here today.

Phase I - IV - Completed the Immigration Journey

I'm thankful for this 4 day weekend because I'm in Canada right now so I'm just enjoying an extended time off since my work is based in the US.

So while they all deal with crazy family, I just did my grocery shopping in the morning while the store was completely empty... which was FANTASTIC.

I am also thankful that I actually get to spend 90% of the year with my husband unlike so many of you, which I really feel terrible about, I do, but it just makes me that much more thankful that I'm in a situation that allows for it.

I am thankful that I filed the I-130 in October.

I am also thankful that I've gone back every 3 or 4 months , lived with my wife for a month, since we married almost 5 years ago.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
