I just wanted to say hello to a community that I am so thankful to have found. Rea and I want to be together so badly and I know this website will help us accomplish that.

The lord blessed us through a life long friend. Through this friend we met and have become best friends who love each other so much. We just celebrated our 8th month of dating. However, we are ready to move to the next step and we will do just that. The only thing in our way of our goal is the K1 Visa process, but with the guidance from the lord and this website I am sure we will get through it.

Our main goal is to be together using this website, but it is also my hope that we will make some good friends from this website and also be a contributor to the site later down the road.

Good luck to your journey! Best if you have some queries, you post it on Forum/Philippines too. You will encounter most of Pinays or Filipina going through the same process and learn from each other. And also "Hank" and "Greenbaum" are the best. They selflessly help and give some accurate advices.

Cheers!
