  1. So how is it being back? Good or weird?

  2. Are you nuts???? lol Actually I'm suffering bad homesickness at the moment and not really sure what's triggered it. But am heading back in September to introduce baby to some family so I'm sure that will cure it lol. How's life otherwise?

  3. What a journey it's been. Our baby girl arrived Wednesday 20 July 2011. She is beautiful and now our family is complete. I wish you all the best of luck, love and happiness as my journey has bought me.

      Did mine back in December, was in and out in about 15-20 minutes, now have to drive all the way down to Memphis [11-12 hour drive] for interview for my AOS, so we are going to make a road trip of it and go visit my gfriend in Arkansas for a few days at the same time, will be moving into our new house just beforehand so is going to be an exhausting time for both of us..

  12. Dont know where I fit at the mo - life in Oz is moving on without me but life in the US has stalled....dont know what to do anymore :(

      I know how you feel, this immigration process is so dam slow, we submitted AOS, EAD AND AP back last October,didnt get biometrics appt until December, AP came too late to go see my Dad, but oh well, im keeping busy going out to lunch once a week with my mother in law, Farmville on Facebook, general house work plus i go out and about in my new car learning the roads and just checking things out, hubby has been great and feels so badly that the immigration stuff is taking so long, after we got ...

      Thanks Barbara...my sisters Barbara too....i feel sorry for her as her only sister me is living in the usa and her only son is as well...so I guess Im sort of near family....2 hour flight is better than a 24 hour flight...but soon my son will head back to australia and I know exactly how I will react...crying every night as I was when I first got over here without him....wish he was younger cos I would make him stay here with us....

Hope your flight is smooth and with good tail winds to bring you Stateside, grab a couple of beverages with dinner then sit back and watch a movie and hopefully fall into a peacefull sleep until just before 'touch down' will be thinking of you and praying for a safe and fast flight.
