HOUSE IS SOLD!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for all the house selling dancing! It really really helped!

Good morning everyone.

My honey is waiting for me at home, as soon as i finish work ill go to him.... i missed him so mucho i just cant wait to hug and kiss him...

Tomorrow i have to pick up the medical results for the embassy and friday the interview, i am sooo nervous.

So I guess we won't hear from you for a while

You'll be fine and everything will go perfectly! Peter did okay at his and I wasn't even there for him. We all have faith in you, solmarc!

Any word on the bid, Les?

Got an offer, I countered back, but haven't heard anything more.

All this confusion!!!!!!

9 more days until my interview (Sept 24) Should I assume since I am still scheduled the old way that I still pay & bring my xpress envelope to the interview as previously done? Maybe I should call to be sure? I'm thinking I would of gotten something in the mail if they changed it for me as well, but since they snuck this new process in without warning, you never know!

Bri - Congrats on your date! That is wonderful news!

Solmarc - Tomorrow is the day! You will be with your man Enjoy

Poacher - You have one fiesty girl on your hands. Sounds like she has you wrapped around her little finger.

UK - you are almost there...wow! I will be thinking of you on your day.

Me - House has an offer. Get to see it in the morning. Keep on dancing! I just want this overwith so I can plan!

well, gots good news and bad news.

good news is, finally got our P4 today in the mail.

bad news is, thanks to the military, we can't pick an appt date online until later this week.

Why?????

While we were driving thru Toronto, the American GPS called Spadina, Spadeeeena. Like really?

Another is Iroquios, with the S silent, Americans say it Earqwiss.

I mentioned to Scott about an accident on the 401 & the car got slammed by an 18 wheeler & he's like what is an 18 wheeler?

Scott says when something is broken it has "sh## the bed" The first time I heard that & still now I just

Do you have a realtor? you will sell it, dont worry, it takes time...

I do have a realtor. But time is something I don't have!

You Uk, are going to give me lots of luck, you are getting marry on my interview date, 17 is the lucky number....

I want to be over with this... Is such a pain in the ####... lol...

Promise if i dont write in this days is because i finally lost my mind...lol

Les, next is yours...

I'm gonna lose my mind if I don't sell this house!

Good luck girl! It's going to be the easy part!

good morning one and all. Hope you have great weekends. This is my last weekend as "Miss" this time next week we will be living our very first morning as husband and wife.....lol...noot that im excited or anything of course lol.

My family fly in on Monday afternoon...woo hoooo....still got to go underwer shopping yet...my sister, mum and I will have to head to mall next week while Ken is at work and all the children at school....shopping time

I would say enjoy your last w/e as "Miss" but I think the "Mrs" will be 100x better!

Hope you have a fab week preparing for your big day & enjoy next Sat.

All the best to you both!

Good morning everyone....

Is a sad day for Mom, nervous day for me, she is looking at me packing some of the things honey is taking home before i move ( positive i know)...

I am really nervous, but trying to see everything as a good thing... my sis is excited cause she lives in NY, and i will be in NJ soon... (she is from my mom´s side)...

I never knew i had soooo much clothing, and i gave away a lot (i considered my self a fashionista, so yeah a lot) ... lol... the flights going back to USA are full so a bit worry my Marc is going to have some trouble, they are expensive too... as you know he travels stand by with my Airline benefits...

In six days the interview, any sugestions? i´ve been reading some of the post of the possible questions... i am ok...

The medical results they only give it one day before the interview, and knowing i am fine and healthy i always get soooo nervous...

fingers cross... big hugs everybody...

Happy packing girl!

Interview will go great! Deep breath. It will be perfect.

I'm the same as you with clothes. I have 5 large closets packed with my clothes & shoes. I have no idea where Scott will find room for them! But so not giving any away!

Just a few more short days till you man is here! Eeeeee!

goodness i hope so. we called the DOS a few days ago and they told Joe that they send them out in batches and its just a matter of waiting. we were not given any more information to go off of unfortunately. i think we'd both be at ease if we knew the P4 was on it's way. i've got all my docs in order, my teter tests, my tetanus shot, my criminal clearance sheet, affidavit of support, his income tax return packet, proof of his employment and both mthly & annual salary, our letters of intent and my 5 passport photos with an additional 2 to update my passport (it expires next july). i just gotta wait on Joe to fax my Mum a copy of his lease and his drivers license and go to my medical in Oct. then we're prepared for the interview.

i had to see Joe off today. i tried my best to stay strong so that he wouldn't get upset before he had to drive the 8hrs home. but the moment i stepped through my front door, i just bawled. my family is super supportive and my nephew is coming to stay for the weekend. so plenty to occupy me. but it's only temporary. after spending the last 5.5mths with him by my side, i have to endure the final 2mths without him and it's gonna be hard. i cry to myself now and then and it's only been just over 2hrs since he left. i just keep telling myself there are plenty of us Feb Filers who are still separated and i was lucky enough to be with mine all summer. hopefully in a day or so i'll be back to normal (i'm not a big crier).

are you not able to leave it with a family member to oversee while you deal with a realtor while in the US? what about selling it with just a bit of money after breaking even? it's rough selling a house so close to the winter months and with the housing market so crummy these last few years....it's gonna be tough. so sorry you're super stressed about it, but i hope and pray to the stars that someone good will come along and grab that house! where abouts is it and how much is it on the market for? have you tried putting it in the papers or craigslist or supermarket bulletin boards? even facebook?! advertise your face off!

Awwww, sorry you had to see him go. I'm not a cryer either & I cry every time we have to go home. It is just getting harder & harder.

Sounds like you have everything in order for your interview, I really hope your P4 is in the mail!

I can't leave the house unsold, since I have to no job in the US & won't for a long time, I can't make mortgage payments on it. So, it has to go & now!!!! I'm in London. I've only lived her for just less than 2 yrs, so I will hopefully just break even. I have put it on kijiji, on the buy & sell at work, everything! I am spun like a top. I'm just gonna let go soon & never stop! Poor Scott, he's probably wondering what he's getting himself into!

if u got it in 11 days...how many days did it take for your usc to get it? I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE DATE! thx

I think he got it in 7 or 8 days.

Hey Bri, have you called DOS yet? I guess a whole bunch of P4's got sent out this week! Maybe you???

Solmarc, glad you survived the medical. Your hunny will be here soon! & your big day!!!!!

UK, glad to hear everything is going well & everyone is getting settled in. Can't wait till I can say the same.

Poacher!! Cannot believe you didn't tell us about the wedding! Congrats to you both. Sounds like you 2 are getting settled as well.

Me...Well, 2 wks until the interview! Holy Hanna it's been a long haul. I still haven't sold the house & I'm ready to lose it. We can't plan anything until this place sells. I just don't know what to do. I'm bordering panic mode. I would of really liked to POE in Oct., but it's not looking like it now.

My P4 took 11 days to get to me. The USC gets a copy of P4 before we do.

so here we are 6 1/2 months later and still waiting because the Feds are morons....

Luckily we're working with our congresswoman's office on this, but it's still a pain in the butt and still waiting.

They asked for an RFE on something they already had because they didn't think it was 'official' because of course as I said, the Fed dimwit high school dropout doesn't know that 1+1=2.

Anyway, our congresswoman's office basically sent them a letter with a second copy, with the original RFE and said "hey stupid, are you really this dumb? The copy you have has a judges signature, a clerks stamp/signature and has a county embossed seal on it. Pay attention."

So as I said, we're waiting and it's severely annoying as we just want to get out of Vermont...... We've given up all hope on her being able to get here this year... I mean hell. It may be an entire year before all is said and done, especially since Montreal is damn slow, the holidays are coming up, and we're STILL in Vermont 6 1/2 months later..... UGH.

Sorry, venting, ranting, I know. It just purely sucks though and is driving us both mad at this point....

You guys have all the more reason to rant & vent! Rant away all you want. We will listen. That's what we are here for, to offer a shoulder, congrats & advice.

I have been wondering how you were doing, & I'm sad to see you are still struggling with VSC. They better expedite you through after all this #######. And yes, Montreal is still so sloooooowwww.

Keep us updated...& hugs to you both.

Best cartoon ever. Sherman's Lagoon is right up there too! Hilarious!

As i have said before i am going to pro-create a football team of children and raise them to be border patrol and Montreal Interview employees just so No one has to go through this timeline haha, Anyone care to join me in my procreating plan? 3 women at 10 kids Is 30 Officers! Woot! haha, damn i shall gain a lot of weight in the process but it will be worth it!

LMFAO! That is hilarious! I would join ya but my procreating days are over. But I will cheer you on with every one you produce! LOL!

Congrats to everyone who heard their good news today!!!! So happy happy!!!!

I am sooo nervous Leslie, i feel i am going to have a breakdown, next week ill know... well i am pretty sure we are fine and we will get the visa, but also i am just, i cant explain it, my head is spinning...

I went to the designer and the dress is nice, i love it... almost finish... Honey will be here on the 15th, interview 17th, my bachelorette party on the 25th and after that flying home...

Deep breath! You are going to do fabulous!

Can't wait to see your dress! Make sure you post after the wedding.
