Yeah, Detroit is home of the SuperBowl this year :yes: That's all you hear about on the news all day long for the past couple weeks! They have a big winter festival going on downtown all week too. There are concerts and parties and all kinds of festivities. I don't know if we'll be going down there or not. Just to park your car is anywhere from $20 to $30 and up! :o We have other things we need to do with our money right now! I'm not a big football fan and neither is Tony, but I watch parts of the game to see the cool new commercials that come out. The commercials during the Superbowl cost about 2 million $$$ for like 30 seconds or something crazy! :o

Good afternoon all!!

I'm heading to the PO to drop off my Save The Date cards for our big wedding this summer. Planning a real wedding is nooooooooooo joke, but I"m so excited about it :P

In other immigration related news, Squito finally received his social security card in the mail this morning. He never received it the first time because our address was inputted incorrectly. :yes:

Girl, planning a wedding is very stressful just make sure you take a deep breath and try to get others to help. I know it's tempting to do everything alone but it can get real hard and frustrating. But afar from that congrats on moving the next step and the SS card.

Well this weekend I'm going to see Big Momma's House 2 and try to clean up. I haven't done that in a long time and I'm shame when ppl come over. A friend of mine asked me if I was feeling good b/c this was the 1st time he saw my house like this. :lol: I told him I was working all dang day so I never had time. :lol:

Glad he got his card. I just told one of my friends that I don't see how people handle planning big weddings. Ours was as small as one can get, and I was pulling my hair out. So I bow to you and all others that have huge weddings.

your dog is adorable. Don't get upset, but don't you think chihuahuas look like bats, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I know, I know I'm :dead:But before you kill me, I do love all animals, no matter what kind. :luv:

My poor dog gets called all kinds of names, so I am used to it...some poeple say he looks like a cat, but the people I work with call him "Rat Dog" :lol::lol: ...I still love him anyway

Hello,

Well today is rainy and yucky outside...I just went to the grocery store and tanning bed and I am in for the rest of the day with this weather.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Ok I have a question....Adrian and I have really been trying hard to save money so when his interview comes and he goes back to JA and I to go JA also, we have to rent a place to stay cause we dont want to stay with is family in the hills. and rent a car....But anyway on to my question, we were talking last night trying to figure how much money we would need for the visa...here is what we came up with:

Visa fee: $100US

Medical: Approx $200US

No marriage cert: Approx $90.00

Police Cert: can someone help us here? How much is the police Cert. to get it express??

Is that it or is there some thing I am missing?

Hey Rhonda how crazy is detroit? I hear its amazing how many people are there.

Well here is a topic I could use everyone's thoughts about. It is a little personal so if you don't want to reply that is fine. I was not raised in a church at all, and became a Christian 2 years ago. So there are some things that I get mixed messages about. One is sex. :blush: Is it really a big deal to wait until your wedding night? Or is it just something the older ladies in the church make a big deal of? I do realize there is a need to wait for love, but if you know you are committed to your man does the wedding ring need to be there? I would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences if you are comfortable sharing. This is something I need to figure out before I see Peter again, because I want to know my mind before we face temptation :whistle: again.

This is really not something that anyone can answer for you. If you allow someone to influence you in a way that's not right for you; based on their own experiences or beliefs then it can have adverse effects and consequences. If you're not sure, wait. But whatever you decide let your conscience be your guide.

Have a good weekend everybody. What's everyones favorite superbowl recipes? Wings? Dips? Other ideas?
