I am sorry for the loss of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats!!!!! I am so happy to hear your good news!!!

Congratulations my dear friends!!!! So happy for you two. I hope you both have a long and happy life together.

Happy New Years everyone!! Hope the New Year brings you Peace, Love , Joy and Prosperity. For those still waiting to be reunited, I pray that God brings you and your loved ones together very soon. Take care and May Bless you all.

Happy Holidays everyone!!! I know its been forever since I posted on VJ, but I have often thought about you guys. If it wasnt for your support along with my family and friends it would have been a lot harder as I waited to go through AP. Ehab and I have been enjoying our time together since he arrived in the states. Things are going great for us, he says he loves Oklahoma.!!! It's difinately a long stretch from his home town. He has adjusted so well with everything here. From all the stories Iv'e heard I was afraid he would have a hard time but it was a lot easier then I thought. We got to spend our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together with our family. We had such a wonderful time. We celebrated on 2nd wedding anniversary with a wedding ceremony on November 1, 2008!!! It was awesome!! Wish everyone could have been here with us. Anyway, justed wanted to touch base and say hello. For those still waiting for their love ones, I hope your reunited with your love soon. Again Happy Holidays!!!

Thank You everyone! I keep giggeling like a school girl, and I can't stop!

Im giggling with you!

Yes, it is ALL God. He is extremely merciful in allowing our journey to not linger in AP. I have to say thank you to all who prayed for us because prayer changes things! And you know, there were times when I could not even pray because I was overwhelmed in sadness, so I felt all of those prayers and they encouraged me to keep pressing on.

By chance is your husband north of Cairo? Im getting very nervous here.

Ehab is north east of Cairo, but don't worry, it's coming!! Have faith, you will have visa in hand soon!!

Congratulations to you all, mohamed N melinda, Cheryl & Medo and Nagishkaw!!!
