Today is day 1 of my diet. Cheerios and yogurt this morning. Not too bad but I'm sure eventually there will be something I don't want to eat. Booh!

My honey called me this morning and sounded just like a little kid when he said that he didn't wanna go to school this morning. He's so adorable. :luv:

Jenn hurry backkk!

OMG I just so happened to look up at your timeline and recognize that your interview is 23 days away, for some reason I thought it was further away, time flies :yes: So that means you'll be seeing Mathew in 3 weeks :dance:
Then it'll be Maggie's 2 weeks later and then we can all start talking AOS and not worry about about passing interviews.



Yep! 23 days!! I'll be flying to see him in 20 days from now. I'm so excited!

kayla - how did you get the 2-for-1 coupon on the exclusively weddings site? i didn't see anything on there about it...

Mathew is very very excited about the cruise, lol.

Kayla, good luck on your diet. I pray everyday that I don't gain too much weight because I eat all day everyday, whatever I feel for so I would probably gain weight ona diet than lose weight :yes:


LOL, thats my problem! The girls at work always have something yummy to eat and for some reason whenever I pack my lunch I'm always starving an hour later so I eat out pretty much every day.

Thank goodness I get into shape pretty quickly. I dont know why, I've always been that way. I'm just going to have to keep at it this time to ensure that me cooking for Mathew every day before the wedding doesn't make me gain the weight back!

I'm finally back now from shopping.

There's so much healthy food in this house it's not even funny. But I did find something that is crazy delcious. It's like these little granola crisps with strawberries in it. Yum yum! Granola isn't exactly the healthiest thing calorie wise, but it's got a lot of protein and fiber so that will be good for a snack.

I got a lot of healthy things that are yummy too, and I promised myself that once a month I'll let me have something good. Hopefully that'll be good enough that I wont crack.

Ney I'm sure that you'll be waiting for your daughter in laws number to come up really quick, so I'm hoping and crossing my fingers for her!

Well I know what Mathew and I are doing for our one year wedding anniversary!!!

Exclusively Weddings is having a promotion where if you spend $150 you get a free 2 for 1 cruise certificate that is good until 2013. I still need to order my invitations and seeing as we wont be able to have a tropical honeymoon like we'd like to have, we can go on a cruise for our one year anniversary instead. Yay!

Not saying I don't love the cabin we booked for our honeymoon, but I'm surrounded by trees and mountains every day of my life. I'm ready for some sunshine!

Someone just informed me that airlines sre changing flights for free and reduced so I'm gonna try myh luck,



I would say that they would just about have to since this snowstorm is supposed to be a doosy. Either they change flights for free, or have a mob on their hands AND airports full of grumpy people waiting for their delayed/canceled flight.

Oh, and here's our wedding rings!

and here's one of my wedding and engagement together. I think the wedding ring looks weird unless it's paired with the other. I wasn't a fan until I put them both on.

I just hope that there's something my photographer can do about my hands in our wedding pictures. I have teeny tiny hands, and I wear a 6.75 in a ring, but when I took that picture it looks like they are little sausages. You'd think I wore a 11 or something. :angry:

I'm just a worrier, I guess. I made $50 less than what I needed to not have to use a co-sponsor. I'm only part time at my job and when that big snowstorm hit right before the end of the year, it knocked me out of about $1000 worth of work time. I'm having to use my mom as a cosponsor, which is no big deal since she makes well above that line, but I'm always worrying that I'm not going to have all the info that I need. I'm taking her taxes from the last few years, her w-2s(although I can't see how that will be needed), letter from her employer, and her I-134, but I'm still worried. I get so nervous at the thought of all this. I know Canada should be a breeze. I'm just weird.

Maggie, I got a coupon in my email from The American Wedding for free shipping if you spend $175. If you decide to go with something from them I'll gladly let you have it.

Speaking of invitations, I need to get started on that. And our website. I haven't worked on it in forever and it's on the save the dates that his family have already received. Oops, lol.

But as of now if looks like I have everything finished except:

Invitations
Catering
Tuxes and
Flowers

We're doing our own flowers, we just have to email what we want to the caterer, tuxes can be done a month before the wedding and I can order the invitations in about 5 minutes. Shoo, almost done!!!

I'm still at my uncles house in Lexington. I just didn't have the will to go home last night knowing that Mathew wasn't there. I just keep telling myself that it's not too much longer before I see him again and he gets his visa approved. But then there's always a teeny tiny small chance that he wont(depending on the mood of the CO).

Krystle, have you heard any news yet?

I'M so sorry that I've been away for so long. Mathew surprised me early and I've been spending as much time with him as possible. Well, and he's been hogging the computer.

Anyway, I dropped him off at Louisville airport earlier and now I'm back in lexington for a while. I've been shopping for my bridal jewelry and now I'm gonna go find an outfit for my visit to him next month. But most importantly we got our wedding rings last night!!!

I'm so happy everything went good for jenn. I knew it would!!! And I know Neys daughter in law will be here before we know it.

AandD is next, then me. Can you believe were all almost done??? Crazy.

I do hope everyone has a magical Valentines day...and Im glad Mathew surprised you and showed up early Kayla!





I hope no one at customs is enjoying it and it's just delayed :(... but it's the thought that counts!! You are so sweet.. I hope he gets it though.



Your interview is last. So you win.

Mathew just walked in the police station, paid $40 and they sent him his police certificate in 7 days. I can't believe it's so much harder outside of Montreal to get one. That's just crazy.

Krystle, if you read this before your interview, you better do everything you can to let me know how things go! Text or call, it doesn't matter!!!!

So I got my new computer today. The screen on this thing is huge. I was a nervous wreck the rest of the day because I NEVER spend this much money on myself. It feels so wrong, but it's what I wanted and needed. So bleh!

The little one just wont go away....eww...

Like I could be standing right in front of the door, pecking to scare it and it just stands there. I open the door(not smart) and close it real hard and it just looks at me.

Why can't it be the cute fuzzy critters that aren't afraid of people??

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2009 K-1 Visa Filers
Awww, Jenn I remember how worried you were over your stuff not being signed and how relieved we all were when your check finally did get cashed.

The possums have not made an appearance tonight yet, but I'm sure they will. I walked over and looked outside earlier and saw a little mouse stuck in the snow on my back porch. And earlier there was a bunny.

My back porch must be like party central for wildlife. Kitty Poo is never bored.

There's a Jamaica commercial on TV right now. I hope Krystle is having a good time.

If Krystle hadn't of left when she did I doubt she'd make it there for the interview. Stupid snow.

I'm like you Jenn, I really worry about Mathew. The US and Canada arent really all that different, but there are little things that he'll have to get used to down here. And he's a shy person and isn't all that confident about his english. He speaks absolute perfect english, but for some reason when he hears it, he thinks it's awful.

He's really excited about 2 things, and both of them are food related. One, we get free refills on drinks(you have to pay for them in Canada, or at least Quebec), and Two, Long John Silvers. The child loves Long Johns. One of these days I'm going to wake up and Mathew is going to weigh 500 pounds. Damn his super fast metabolism. He says he just likes to taste things and that why he's all like "FOOOOODDDD", but I think it's just because he's a man and men love food. LOL

I think mango lilies would be awesome for your beach wedding. Calla lilies, orchids, roses, and dahlias all do really well in the sunlight. I would stay away from anything other than those just because other types of flowers could fade and wilt in the sunlight.

My wedding favors are going to be 3 different sizes of heart shaped cookie cutters in a gift box with ribbon purple ribbon. lol. I figured since we're heart themed.. why not..they are cheap too.

And oh me oh my.. reformed smoker at their best!!!. lol jkjk paciencia y fe...

I know the best thing is to quit, and I know as soon as I get pregnant I will. (which will hopefully be this year ;)) and you better be there for the support...IM GONNA NEED IT LOL! but really good for you..quitting is hard..and I am glad you did it!!



Awww I think that's such a cute idea for favors.

I told Mathew that I wanted to get pregnant for Christmas, so I'm crossing my fingers for that one. That would be the best christmas present he could give me.

I just ordered my cake topper, and 100 little cellophane bags for my favors. I'm going to put skittles and jellybeans in the bags, tie it with cute ribbon, and put stickers that have our name and wedding date on them. I found the bags for $9 on ebay and 100 of the stickers on there is $13. So I'm pretty excited about that.

Have you thought about what colors you want to use for your sand ceremony Karen?

I'm pretty sure that Mathew would fight that possum like a bear if it touched his precious wedding cake. That's been the ONE thing I've been able to get him to help me on. The possum would lose, and badly.

Right now I'm trying to find the colors of sand that I want for our unity ceremony. We're not doing the unity candles because our wedding is outside and if we do the unity sand we can have a really neat decoration for our home later on. I have a feeling that I'm going to be one of those people that decorate the entire house with pictures and stuff of Mathew and I.

6 more days until I see Mathew!!!!

I hope Fuat is feeling better when he wakes up Jenn.

I can just picture this... my cat would be crying and whining and saying "Mom Do something."

Maybe you had better move to Richmond. We don't see too many possums around here :)



I was running up to the door and screaming at them and they just looked at me like I was stupid or something. I got one off the porch and it hopped back up with it's mommy or something. So I just let them hang out and wanted to gag the whole time. Then I started hitting the door and they finally left. These things just look like they've been rolling in something dead.

First thing tomorrow I have to go to the post office to drop the check off in the mail for my cake lady. I'm soooo excited!

And now one of them is back...ughhh
