AngelD maybe you should knock it off for now and get some rest. In the morning, I'm sure you'll have a clearer mind and find the two darn pictures.

HA HA HA I FOUND THE SILLY BUGGERS!

they were there in front of my very tired eyes! I was looking for the tiny little envelope they put them in for safe keeping but forgot they were in the larger envelope with the negatives!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH--besides a few signatures when I get to California--we are DONE DONE DONE DONE!

yeay! Sending it off on Monday! Yippee! Hurray!

[sereia 0]

thank god you found them! i could have sent my form two weeks ago if i didn't lose my birth certificate AND my passport happens to be expiring in six months. *sigh*

waiting one more week (i hope) for my renewed passport to freaking get here already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AngelD 0]

Thank you!!

I am sure your passport will be here soon! Just think of it as one less thing you need to renew later (oh #######--except for when you need to have everything redone with your brand spankin new MARRIED NAME!!)

Best of luck!!

Yeay to Feb-Filers!

I'm glad I can laugh about what you are going through now. Many of us have been there. My advice is to relax, learn to drink heavily (just kidding) and try to find things around the house that need fixing, cleaning, painting, etc. It will help to make the time pass and that's what you will need to do once you have it filed.

You are about to embark on a great new adventure with many frustrating moments, unknown delays and questions, questions, questions. Try to learn patience.

Hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel and it ends with your love in your arms.

GO AngelD! GO AngelD! GO AngelD! Once you got your packet mailed, it will be worth all the time, efforts and sleepless nights. I remember when we arranged our packet together... My fiancee would find me up at 3:00 in the morning looking through everything with a flashlight as only source of light. I scared the life out of him many times because he thought I was a robber . Now that we're waiting for our NOA2, it's fun to look back and reminisce those times that we spent together putting everything in order.

Good luck on your journey! Wishing you a speedy process!

Thanks Everyone!

The sick thing is I started to put this all together nearly a year ago. Scott and I have been together for 2 years and life just kept getting in the way. We have a beautiful 8 months old together so my time is limited to devote the concentration needed to keep everything in order so it has taken a bit--and I hadn't stumbled upon VJ until January!! Had I found you all before I am sure things would have been done much much quicker.

The great thing about having school aged kids is that it gives you solid long term dates that you can work with----can't move anyone until school is done. So it takes some of the pressure off the waiting since that is 7 months away. Yes! I would love it to be done and have our visas in our hands-but my 2 teenagers are pleased with the time constraints.

I do know that I will feel one step closer to the light at the end of the tunnel on Monday when this HUGE (and I mean 4 inches thick HUGE!) package is no longer in my hands.

Have a great night (or morning as the case may be) everyone

Thanks for all your kind words

I fly out in 15 hours to see the love of my life!!

Angel

ANd good luck to everyone still walking the walk!
