Heaven sent me a wonderful, supernatural, wonderful gift...Ade's visa is approved!! Thank you God for this and the man worthy of walking life's journey with me. Thank you for the people you set in this visa path to offer wisdom, laughter, and pray me through my trials. Much love for LagosLove, TJ4ever, and Inyang loves Dee!

Praying that Yemi enjoys his first day at work. We took the bus out there yesterday and he's blessed to have a 3 minute walk from the stop. I dropped him off this morning, but he wanted to take the bus home since he knew the route. I'm going to try not to cry too much today.

On this day last year, I was amped to get on a flight traveling outside the US for the first time and doing it alone to meet the man who asked if I would wait for him....1 year anniversary for traditional wedding is on Monday!

Recap to some of my status updates: "Study to show thyself approved." If you found VJ by accident know that is God's way of preparing you for the test ahead. READ READ READ. Stop posting every single question.

Could there be three better noises? Lying here listening to the birds chirping, the rain falling, and my husband snoring! ADE IS HOME!!

Why am I lying here texting and browsing VJ like my alarm didn't go off 10 minutes ago?

While filling out a job app yesterday, I had to explain what "daydreaming" meant. This am he's online looking for junk/salvage cars and says "I am thinking of buying one, driving for a while, & sending it home." I said, "uh huh." He got excited about the cheap prices he saw. I refused to say anything about those cars being in Texas and us living Philadelphia. I couldn't help, but say he needed to find a "junk job first."
-
So ready for Virgo season to get here!!
-
He text me asking if I would meet him after work, saying he wanted to take me out to eat, and ended the text with "Let me spoil you a little." I almost asked who was texting me from his phone. God thank you for all you are doing.

Since meeting my husband I've known a peace and level of elevation that I never knew existed. My sensory to detect bsers and miserable people is more acute. I'm learning not every comment is worthy of my response and not every well wish is sincere. I wrote the following, but decided not to post it on facebook (I'm taking an indefinite hiatus).

Aww I was afraid of having the similar reactions.. except I married a man from a terrorist country so i figured it would be worse but Thank God the only thing I've gotten is support and love from everybody including my customers at the bank... the only thing said to me was.. an older gentleman said... you didnt have to marry from overseas your beautiful you could have anybody you wanted... except all the good ones are already taken thats the problem.. and my ex.. well thats a whole ...

I could look at this as it's been 30 days since I saw my baby; instead I'm thankful to have crossed 1 more month off of us being together soon.

Yes May...and under different circumstances...I would go into 'act a fool' mode...he has a small business and he has to take care of things with the business before he comes here...these are things that you cannot do prior to receiving the visa as one is not guaranteed a visa...and it is not like he works for a random employer and can just say...ok...i quit...i am going to USA...this is his business that he has customers and has taken years to build up his business and he doesnt just ...

Six months in and last night he verbalized "...I want to do my job as your husband." Two months ago this might have impressed me. Today it just pisses me off.

I am afraid to spend...and you know he has no trouble with it. My brother said to me...you must trust your husband with the finances..I looked at him like his head fell off and rolled down the hall. Prince was all up in the chest like "yea!" My brother looked at him and said she will trust you but if one bill falls behind...the s#!! is on you and you better be damn sure you can handle it.
-
So I'm in training to trust. but watching the money too...I aint no fool. Willingness, to try despite all odds with adjustment in self refection and teaching by showing...not always "you need to..." because it just shuts them down. Be pissed off but see if he owns his statement...then own yours..let's see..but not give up just yet...I know I know I know...and I love you sis. whew this was long!

As I'm perusing pages this morning, seeing couples still enduring prolonged separations I thought to myself "Lord thank you, because I couldn't do it." Then I thought of my story and the challenges I've endured. Only those who need to know will know it. This morning I can say "Lord thank you for this form of hardship, growth, and loves continued renewal!" No matter your story speak life into it. Proclaim the positive and pack all the dead and decaying thoughts ...

I love it.. Having hindsight I'm not sure if I could endure that distance ever again having my husband here with me now. I see the new couples trying to pull through and I'm reminded of the strength, endurance, hope, faith, trust, prayer and love it took to make it thru and in does not stop when they arrive..it continues. My prayer is that the stories we hear will be filled happy beginnings. Thanks for putting this out Olomi

Making arrangements for POE & I express to him my concern for driving to a place I've never been & having to pick him up so late. He says to me, "Honey how far is it from where you live? I can make it to you on my own. I know ur address & ur phone number. I just want you safe."

Stayed home for date night (too hot). He lost me when he picked The 7 Adventures of Sinbad. Had a longggg nap and I'm revived now...round 2!

Olomi- stop it now. I am laying up in the bed laughing so hard tears. Just picturing u watching this and ur eyes rollin.
Me and my husband thank you Jesus love the action stuff. "Transformers" I swear I have it on a loop on my computer.
@Lagoslove-what is it with our husbands and movies on laptops. I guess the lack of nepa makes it that way. Too too fuNny. Hunni loves '24'. I have never seen an episode.
I am lovin this so can't wait.

Great is your mercy towards me, your love and kindness I see, your tender mercy I see, day after day FOREVER FAITHFUL TOWARDS ME (thank you lord!)

I forgot my phone and refuse to go home for that alone.

OK, so tell me why I wanted to be like you and went to work this morning blind. I found some contacts in my drawer and decided to use them not knowing how long they've been there. All was well while I was in the house, but once I got outside and started driving things went downhill fast. Pretty much everything is blurry. If it's not right in front of my face, then I'm not seeing it too well. Bad thing is I didn't even bother to turn the car around to change them, but I ha...

People are quick to question the genuineness of their foreign spouse and the spouses of others. When people venture onto the Visa Journey and this site, there is enough angst and stress in the natural course of things that present doubt and misunderstanding. You hope to find others for comfort and guidance. Some never think that perhaps they need to question the realness of the American poster. For months on end, their status updates and posts read like The Young & The Restless and Day...

I agree totally.Because of the stressfulness this process bring to the forefront there is absolutely no need to make up fictitious stories that may deter or confuse others in need of true and real advice. This journey is so difficult and long I feel that each and every one of us who reaches out for help should get the very best not "your story" instead show where to read, teach how to research but be a listening ear. It's good to see the best come from a situation but it's bad...

It's nice to sit down and hear him in the kitchen. From time to time, I lean forward to catch a peek of the gorgeous view.
-
He came to bed earlyyyy this morning saying "mi esposa" and the name "Esmeralda"...can you guess who watches movies in Spanish, doesn't speak it, but will probably be fluent in 6 months?
-
Is it possible to miss your spouse even after they are here? Hell yes! Can't wait to see him this evening!
-
God if you didn't send tests I would never understand your might, I would never know your worth, and I could never see the gifts you've placed in me manifest . Thank you for every opportunity to witness your presents/presence.

Let me start by saying anyone married to a Nigerian man has probably experienced that their sense of humor can be a little off, but there are times when you can throw them for a loop...lol

Lord, I love this man!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
