MoLuvsAcory

Dens Wifey!!!!! Hope you all are doing well. Long time no link. But this packet was tedious to me. But it's a done deal, so I'm back!!

You should mail it to: USCIS, ATTN:FBAS, 131 SOUTH DEARBORN-3RD FLOOR, CHICAGO, IL 60603-5517 this is if you want receipt confirmation.

Morning & thank you Jew Nug. Before sunset today, it's out of my hands. Hooray!!!!!

Your welcome Mo. I hope things get better for you too with work and home

As far as work, it is what it is!! I'm a very vocal person & someone supposedly got offended & reported me. Hey!! What to say. She shouldve chat me to my face & not behind my back.

Now @ home, I have a 6yr old who is a dead stamp of his father!!! Good thing! Anyhow he is straight facety!? I @ times hear him answering Acory rudely or saying things like " my daddy is from Kingston Cory" & one time he said your're not my dad. I've spoken to him & his dad has too. It's getting a little better. But he tests my patience. He's my pumpkinhead but he have a slick mouth, just like me. Lol

morning all!

I am in a great mood today Its friday and its beautiful outside!

I have a ?. Do u agree with sharing your bank PIN with your spouse??

Well we just opened a joint savings & checking acct. We share pin #s as well. Quite frankly, I have been banking w/another financial institute for awhile & that's where I have direct deposit & two more savings(one for me & one for my son). Hubby doesn't have pin for those accts. Accounts we share have enough funds for his use so I don't believe he needs my other bank cards pin. Plus he seems to just use cash for purchases.

If you are sending it USPS, you use the PO Box, if you are sending it through a courrier service you send it to the Deaborn address. Read the instructions on the I-485 it should clear things up for you!

Congrats on being part of the "married" club... all the best to you and Acory

Thanks MrsTee for the clarification and welcoming me to the married club. As I said before, the packet will be mailed today. Mailing packet off is a big relief.

Hello & goodnight. I hope everyone & there SO are doing fine. & to those who have just touched down, I hope you are adjusting accordingly. I must say it has been awhile since I last post here. I've been extremely busy. My work environment was a bit uneasy, my son testing me, preparing for & ultimately getting married on March 5th. And lastly, gathering all documents required for AOS, EAD, & AP. I have intentions of mailing it tomorrow, 3/19/10. I however seem unsure as to which address to use, the Chicago lockbox address with the P.O Box or the 131 South Dearborn Chicago address? I want confirmation it was received so I'm thinking to send it to the 131 address as opposed to the P.O Box. Which address have most of you all used?? Or better yet, which is clearly said to be used by USCIS?

Thanks in advance all!!!

I hear you, you make a decision and you go with it! I had to do the same thing.

Ok, I feel better Im not the only one!! I know the transition is the next step to the challenges we face. Course theres always that bullshit bmama drama I have to contend with ...

So what WOULD you do different?

As with all of us, transition can be hard.

In regards to BM drama, don't make it discourage you one bit!!!! Life actually will be better off for the child as the father is able to find work & contribute to raising of the child again. If you see where BM want to hype up herself on the phone, hang up after a few choice words or tell her to EASY!!!!!!!

VJ family is here to give input & comfort when needed.

Best of luck on journey

So I have a serious question for e/one.

As things have moved and stalled and moved again, and thru all the issues, drama, tears, fights, pain and all... Im sure we all have similar stories and trials. Question is.. would you do it all over again? Or, knowing what you know now, would you run like hell.

Im sometimes 50/50 on this. I love my husband, but getting to where we are (and we arent even there yet) has been a ride- and sometimes downright painfull. I dont regret marrying him! Dont regret loving him.. but sometimes I regret meeting him. Is that bad?

Very good question. I definitely would do it over. I really do love Acory & he proffesses his love to me in more than one way.(I read Steve Harvey book). As Nat stated, I would have taken less trips & saved money.

I do admit, it gets trying @ times, but I'm confident it will work. Communication is key!!

Interesting...aww that's cute how you two interact....I love it!!!

Dens, your making me smile.

Hows Mr. Man? Is he good. One of Acory & I friend got through to come to NY. He actually should have been here long time b/c he married his wife in 2008. He however had to "cleanse" & easy himself b4 medical. Lol.

I'm happy for my friend b/c this is now 2nd close friend of Cory now living in driving distance. Basically Cory can go mingle w/the fellas b/c my friends & I are something when ready. A good something though.

While away from VJ, I managed to select a book @ library while there w/my son. I'm reading Maneater by Mary B Morrison. Very interesting book. I read over 150 pages yesterday. I prbly finish it today. At the end of first half, there were questions. One question was, would you still marry your fiance if you found XXXXrated pics of them?? Cory answered by saying in a relationship everything should be easily revealed to one another espclly if we're speaking about marriage. He also went on to say, that shows the woman had something to hide & maybe hiding more skeletons in closet.I shot back & said maybe she doesn't want her past to interfere w/her present & she prbly felt no need to reveal the pics. Who knows. It's not me but question made me think.

This book at one time was on the essence magazines top book selection.

Morning all! Haven't posted in awhile. I however, have been on here reading though. I'm fairly busy of lately. I did manage to complete the EAD & AP. So now I just have to gather all items needed for AOS which I'm currently doing. Unfortunately we had to change date of marriage. It will be on the 5th of march. Works out better for us & we need to sort out things.

Apart from that, everything is irie!

Now I know beauticians can take time styling a womans hair. But why is it taking SO LONG for Acory to get a haircut!! I'm beginning to fume!! This barber is good @ what he does & is a long time friend of mine, but this is becoming ridiculous to me. I feel like I've been sitting in my car for hours!!

Morning all!!! Best of luck to Kjenkins today @ the interview.

Dens, Always Blessed, & Regal, have a blast while saying your vows on Valentines day. Enjoy the after party too.

PhillyFashionista, safe travelling to JA and congrats on the renewal of vows. Take in alot of sun to forget this wicked snow up here.

I dunno yet But I know for sure there will be a couple of sexy partays heyyyyyy (in my monique voice)

Hey, what Monique voice you're talking about??(thats my name)

So last night was date night for me and my Sweetie...it went well until the very end...long story short...Den told me that I'm spoiled! I was pissed to say the least. We ended up making up before we went to bed but that thang had me hotter than fish grease on a Friday night at a fish fry!!!!

Truth be told...I am kinda spoiled...but I didn't want to hear that from him...

My question is what is the one thing or things that your SO has said about you that might have some truth to it?

Well Acory tells me that i get vex to easily. I agree but thing is that has been me for so long. Little things just seem to irritate me. He seems to deal with it but he doesnt hesitate to bring it to my attention.

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to be first post

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to be first post

What the hell just happened there. Got flood control telling me I couldnt' post and then double posting in same post. Wierd.

Den's.....what will he do if it's not his child? It might be best to have a DNA test now, while the child is so young, if that's the way you truly feel.

I truly felt lost but I found you all. It's funny you bring up the DNA thing. We can't base looks/features as the sole guarantee as to if the child is really the fathers. But IDK. I indirectly have brought that to his attention. Time will tell!!!!!!

Mo -- mi afi laugh, I can't even type what I want to because we've been hearing lines like that from the 80s so guess what -- if you name no start wid GRANNIE u naw get a rass...see, mi caan tek headache and my family know how I am from day start

Trust me I laughed to but then I passed alot of comments. As I said she nuh regular @ all. Beggy beggy nuh want it. Ambitious & determined isn't in her vocabulary.

Ya its difficult! I'm trying to be supportive and just let them figure things out but sometimes my horns start to rear out a lil' bit.

Hormones!!!??? Sometimes I can't bite my tongue about his BM. She seems to have alot to say, never to me though. Why she can't be level headed. Peace!!! Well to bad for her. I'm such a cool person. But unfortunately she may never see that side if she keeps up with the nonsense. I have my 6yr old & his sisters mother & I get along. We obviously aren't best friends but she will call & say her daughter wants to see her brother & I will agree. But some woman just love the passa passa.

Girl do we need to exchange numbers bout these B.M.'s? Den had to send some money back to his son yesterday...chile you should have seen the disgust on my face...how you going to have a child and not be able to get medicine when the baby has a cold, etc?...I told Den to make sure he reminds her that he is not working and that she just decided to skip her rass back into the work force last week so what does she expect.... its going to take time to get her money up after sitting around for months...I told him to make sure she knows she needs to make them "dollas holla"

LOL. Same thing over here. I had a friend who went down so we went to mall & got some clothes from childrens place to send down for kid. She had the nerve to ask why he sent clothes down that look as if it's from salvation. Ungr8ful!!!!! Childrens Place is the spot for little kids. But true she is so closed mind & blind to reality, I couldn't have expected better. She herself can't provide by herself but have audacity to criticize brand new clothes sent for her son. She'll be alright. I always say bad mind condemn. She isn't regular at all.

It's hard for me to comprehend sometimes because Steve NEVER says anything about not being able to work. He just handles it like a pro. He never asks for nothing either. Whatever I see he needs I just provide it. I do hear him talking to Jamaica saying that he knows what he needs to do to accomplish his goals.... He meditates alot so I think the has the "link" with the man above and keeps a level head about things...

Hey MrsTee!!! I applaud Steve. With Acory, the thing is he was the sole provider for his son being that the childs mother sits @ home. So he feels that if he isn't working, his son is going to be in need of alot of things. This childs mother took joy in saying "the baby want this" verbally or via txt. Fortunately the childs maternal grandmother is supportive & looks out for kid. She actually is one to call & put little boy on phone b/c the mother will not do it. So that's his frustration but I reassure him, his son will be taken care of.

Mo where did your hubby run taxi at? My hubby was also a taxi driver.

Prayers coming your way Irie...although you are already #1 with us.

St Elizabeth. Quick Step to Santa Cruz but you know they get chartered all over the island

Have you guys decided on a wedding date yet? Or did I miss it ?

You didn't miss it. Being that we are doing a Justice of Peace wedding, we selected the 26th of this month. The Justice in my area isn't open on weekends, otherwise we would have did it on the 27th which is Sat.

Any of them that go on there gots to have self-esteem issues! Poe thangs....

Things are ok. He just appears to be bothered that he can't contribute financially as yet. In JA, he was used to waking up to run taxi. & when I went down to visit, he willingly would pay for a hotel if we chose to stay @ one & also provided for food & other odds and ends. So basically that is urking him. I keep telling him that is the least but it's a man thing, I guess. I signed him up for a gym so he can get out of house during the day when I'm @ work. Now navigating the bus thing maybe an issue. I don't know! On another note, he's like my mothers best friend. They are always talking & he helps out around the house. I tell him we live upstairs but he finds his way downstairs doing domestic stuff for his MIL.

Overall everything is good. Love will always be there. I just can't wait to submit all forms & get an approval. Over & done with!!!!!

Mo, no need for original or certified birth certificate. I sent in a copy.

Congratulations tamh and my2 mom in law.

Back to training

Thanks for the info. I kept reading that originals had to be sent in or certified copies.

Congrats to all who have been approved!!! Greatest feeling in this journey!!

Hi Dens!!! Haven't seen you in awhile. How is everything? Are you ready for this weekend?
