GOOD LUCK MAGGIE!!!

Kayla, I'm really sorry that your having so many negative thinks happening. I hope everything turns around for you soon!

Kjenkins, I don't get it either. Why can't things be straight forward? You know KISS (keep it simple stupid). Oh wait, that would be too easy wouldn't it.

Jenn, yeap she will be here Saturday. Amazing huh! I hope everything is going great for you and Faut!!!

Seb, tomorrow is your day!!! Relish every moment!!!

So, question for everyone - my honey is forgetful and he knows it, so he asked me if i could send him a list of important papers and things that he needs to bring with him there. That way he can follow the list and make sure not to forget them! SO I started here, but would love to know if I'm missing anything:

Sounds great to me.

I'M HERE! It has been so crazy for us this last week... and the park opens in a few days, so I have been crazy with work as well as with getting Fuat acclimated to Virginia and to the US.

WOW I have a lot to catch up on.

I really miss being on here every day and can't wait until I can get back into my normal day of checking in on everyone on VJ

Glad to see you're still breathing.

tonight is my last night with my babybunny.

He took me to the poutine place, which was awesome, and then to Old Montreal.

Now we`re getting ready to go eat dinner and see How To Train Your Dragon in 3D!!!!!!!

When is Mathews moving date?

====================

I finally finished painting the inside of my daughters house! YES!!!

Now I have to help Eric move, get my house in order. and groom the critters.

So Najmeh comes to America April 2nd, and Memphis April 3rd.

April 4th Easter with the grandbabies.

We still need a gown, shoes, and flowers.

April 6th my mother-in-law comes to Memphis

Still don't know when my sister-in-law and family are arriving.

April 9th is the wedding date.

Kjenkins, I'm very sorry this is happening to you. I wonder why they set appts for something as simple as that anyway? I've never heard of such a thing. Are they that overwhelmed by weddings where you are? I hope everything turns out well for you.

My daughter and her husband married in a chapel in Oralando right outside Disney World; they got thier license one day and married the next.

Worse comes to worse go marry in a different state.

Here's a link for those of you still wedding shopping.

The have great prices and themes for everyone!

Seb I am soo happy for you, Sunday is right around the corner!!! I know you can't wait to start sharing your world with her. My son and his fiancee last saw each other last July too.

Maggie, Google it, it is really a wonderful idea.

Kayla I'm curious as to how the door opened...

It's those little furry critters she likes sooo much they followed her to Canada!

Thank goodness you are ok! I went back to my painting and kept pushing to hurry up and check back in.

I haven't tried a hobby store, I've only been searching online. I need to try and get to the store.

Seb you better hurry!!!

When I married my husband we went to the locak JP. When my daughter married her husband I hired a wedding planner in Orlando (they are affordable and everywhere) and let her set up everything for me. Now I'm planning this one with absolutely no experience. I'm trying hard but this isn't as easy as it looks.

Just sharing...

My daughter took my 2 1/5 year old granddaughter (Emily) out for story time today, so I took advantage of thier abscense and painted Emily's room. We went from pink and mint green to mesa taupe. My granddaughter has really enjoyed having me around and loves that I've painted the entire house until now. She is very upset with me for painting her room. Good thing her sister is only 3 months because she didn't seem to mind when I did her room.

OMG, so how did the door get open?

Great idea for the glitter. I'm on it.

I looked up the sand and vase and they want ridiculas prices for colored sand. Where did you get yours?

OK, it's hard to talk wedding after reading your last post.

Are you ok?

Thanks Kayla!!! Amen to Ebay Kjenkins!

I've gotten her veil, tiara, garter, jewlery, personalized announcement magnets, and a cake topper (horse drawn carriage that lights up) from Ebay. I've gotten great things for a fraction of what it would cost me at any of the stores around here. I have the minister, photographer, and thier cinderella carriage booked. I have the cake ordered, and I am taking her to pick her dress and shoes when she gets here. I'm also taking her to choose her own flowers. My son is taking care of the tux and already has the wedding rings.

Is there anything else I'm missing or need that I can do before she comes? I've bought bubbles to blow in the air after they are married for that fantasy effect. I'm giving my mother-in-law a tiny sack of rice to put in the brides hair for fertility, and I would like my daughter to throw fairy dust on them for thier wishes to come true and a happily ever after. Kayla do you know something that I could use for fairy dust? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Oh great, things always seems to work out, doesn't it?

I was just thinking lastnight that I can't wait for september to roll in so one of us can start a new thread to wish all the september 2010 filers goodluck and tell them that they chose the perfect month to file.

Things do seem to have a working out! It will be great to wish the next Sept filers good luck.

Dude, what did they do to Visa Journey while I was gone.. I hate change!

Antonio and I are all official now, and I wanted to post a couple of pics and thank everyone for all your help these long months.

CONGRATS!!! OMG, you two look sooooo happy! Thank you for sharing the pictures!!

The kids have changed plans on me and have decided to have a wedding ASAP (the first week she gets in). (Me beating myself over the head)

In the Iranian culture ice packs come after the wedding and I think this may be a big part of thier hurry. There isn't time to go to the Smoky Mountains now to have a waterfall wedding. I have been painting my daughters house and running my bottom off trying to put something unique together for this wedding everything has fallen on my lap due to the time issue. Came up with a carriage wedding in a downtown Memphis park, in front of the MS river. The wedding date April 9th, she'll be in DC on April 2nd and then Memphis the 3rd OMG. I haven't been sleeping I've been shopping on the Internet instead. I have been running my bum off trying to create a princess wedding for them with a cinderella carriage and all the fixings, helping my daughter who has a toddler and an infant, my son's place is not ready yet so he has not moved in, and I'm pulling my hair out right now as I sit here typing this. I need a stiff drink and a long nap.

CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!! That is wonderful news!!!

I'm at my daughters house painting, I have Kiltz on my fingers and I came here to see Kaylas good news.

Where's Kayla? Come on Kayla "just say yes"

GOOD LUCK KAYLA!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Yeap she needs the transit visa, so we are working on that one. Her ticket is for April 2nd to DC and then April 3rd to Memphis (She will spend the night at my sister-in-laws home because we have no clue how long immigration will keep her)

Frenzyheart, congrats on an interview date!!

Maggie, that is smart have it ready both ways.

KAYLA, COME BACK WITH GOOD NEWS!!!

Maggie, I wish I knew the answer for you, but the attorney filled everything out they just signed. I do know Eric (my son) had to send bank statements, w-2's, pay stubs, letter from employer (stating length of emplyment, income, position), and tax returns for the last couple of years to Najmeh for the interview.

Kayla, Morninnnngggggg back at you. If that ain't a happy Morninnnngggggg then I don't what is. I'm glad you got your clothes back. Now relax and keep having fun!

Good Luck to you both!!!

YEAH JENN!!! WELCOME TO AMERICA FAUT!!! DON'T FORGET TO BREATH!!!

Kjenkins, Not that big of a price difference unless they have free S&H right. Simple yet elegant I love it.

Seb, I know you are ready to have your baby home too.

Frenzyheart, congrats on getting a co-sponser!

Quick question, Najmeh will be going from Tehran to Amsterdam, then Amsterdam to DC. She is asking about a transit visa. Is that needed with a K1 visa in hand if she is not leaving the airport in Amsterdam?

Welcome to America Joanna!!! Congrats Seb!!!

Now we are waiting to hear from Jenn to see if Faut came in with a back pack or a carry on luggage.

I did, but I didn`t pack a change of clothes. Now I`m looking like a skank until my bags get here.

Honey when a man loves you, no matter what you feel like or think you look like, he will still salivate over you. Stay positive!

Seb, I hope all is well on your end!!!

I don't know why, but when I posted today I didn't see Jenn or Kaylas post above mine.

Jenn as a woman married to a Muslim born man, I just want to say they are loyal, loving, wonderfully stubborn men. Don't be suprised if he comes with his backpack.

Kayla, I'm really sorry about your luggage, I hope they get everything back to you soon, I also hope you had the material for the interview in a carry on with you.

Frenzyheart sounds like you are just ready to move on to the next level. Good Luck!

Katie, sounds like everything is going great for you two.

Congratulations! Oh it would be so cool if she was coming in April 2nd. That's when my love is coming. She coming through JFK?

Thanks, as of now the date is April 2nd, she'll fly into DC. We are hoping the 2nd is the date because there is soooo much to be done before then.

======

Seb and Jenn good luck to you both. I hope everything goes smooth! I'm looking forward to hearing how POE goes.

Kayla, I hope your nerves have calmed. I hope the interview is quick and over before you know it. Keep us posted!

Have a great weekend everybody!!!

She's got her visa in hand! We are hoping for an April 2nd arrival. However, my brother-in-law that is in Iran right now said due to business projects she could be here a week earlier. Sooooo she should be here the end of this month or the beginning of next. Can you believe this, she's coming and we don't know exactly when.

Seb, someone else mentioned you can buy what she is bringing here. I think the more you bring the bigger risk for hassle. I know you are beside yourself with her arrival approaching. Butterflies hitting your stomach now?

KJenkins thanks for the SSN links! Congrats on the dress, and I agree Small and intimate is good.

Jenn I have a quick question, is it only JFK that gives the stamp on the I94? Faut will be here in a blink of an eye how's it feel?

Kayla what can I say? Take a deep breath, this is what you have to do to bring him home. It's your turn girl! Go get'em!!!

I love both white gold and yellow gold and a lot of my pieces are a combination of both. Krystle and Seb both have exquisite taste!

Maggie I love the dress, it is beautiful!

With all the beautiful beautiful things popping up on here I should ask my husband if he wants to get married agian.

I've taken on the task of painting the interior of my daughters home as well as her kitchen cabinets. Funny thing is I hired someone to paint the exterior of mine at the same time, so needless to say we have a lot going on here. My son found a great apartment for him and Najmeh and he will be moving this weekend. This is going to be a wild spring I can already tell.

For those who are wondering, I'm still smoke free!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Wow this is all really different. I guess it will take some time to get used to this.

As always you guys are a great inspiration for me.

Jenn, you are just too cute.

i've been trying to save like crazy too. I know things will be tight once my honey comes here since it will be a while before he can work. i keep scrutinizing all my expenses and trying to figure out how to save a little bit more!

hey this is sort of random, but does anyone have a wii? and does anyone use wii fit and the balance board? i'm thinking about it and wondering how it is, if you can really get a workout, etc...

I have wii fit, wii fit plus, and active. I love them and they do keep you in shape if you do them. The wii sports that comes with the wii is great too.

I quit smoking three days ago, so I am in a little bit of a lala land right now. I know it will be over soon, so if I miss a beat or two please excuse me.

Kayla congrats on the lose!!!

Wow, this place is really booming today.

To all of you who are peeking in and are new posters here, Good Luck on your journey!

Welcome back Jenn! I'm glad you had a safe trip. I haven't even peeked in the AOS section yet, do they have it sectioned like this one? Could you create a September AOS forum? I would prefer all of us stick together too.

Kayla, Maggie's got a good point, I hope it is just the belt. I think it's wise for you hire some help and to place responsiblility in someone elses hands and enjoy your day to the fullest.

I'm sorry about the mouse. I'd have a hard time in that situation too.

Najmeh's Mom is going to Dubai by herself this Friday and go through the crazy process of getting the visa. We are setting everything up for her to come home with my brother-in-law. I'm crossing my fingers it all falls into place.
