hi there fellow aussie

well we are home..with my visa in hand well in a safe spot anyways lol. :dance: :dance: ..trip went well got to spend the weekend with my daughter all went well..


nothing much more to report except i gotta lot of damm packing to do ...sydney in my eyes was a waste of 5 days... why the hell they cant send a group of staff members to each state to do this say once or twice a month is beyond me...cost us a fortune in a hotel and food and trains ...

thank you for all your well wishes and congrats...that small pic was taken after we got approved..taken heaps of pics of the building and the surrounds might get robbie to make a website so the aussies know what they are looking for when going for their interviews...

sorry to have missed seeing you wenchie...but was great to hear your voice...

ok well i better get to the docs and to go into work to hand in my resignation...

lol stella
ya know what stella.. this is amazing .. my robbie not only is a quarter cherokee his ancestors are celtic..hence the druid things

and back in 2003 on my first visit we did such a ceremony yes a handfasting...it was the most emotional everlasting experience i have had ...you see traditionally a handfasting was performed because in days gone by there were no priests to do the weddings.. and it is from the date of the handfasting that a year an one day if u so wish to stay together as man and wife you do so.... ohh stella ya gotta go to our website it is all there..we did it traditionally .. like wearing the stones for some many days..the choosing of the colours of the ropes to correspond to the colour of your tartan...the gift u give each other he gave me his tartan cloth i gave him a hand made handkerchief with our initials and the date...also we chose a colour of a candle that we thought best represented ourselves...his grandaughter was one of the goddess's and she blessed the rings and untied the rings to give to us...stella it is such a romantic ceremony ..but it also depends how deep you go into it .. our was traditional we had his son in law who is a druid priest perform the ceremony.. we looked upon this as our promise to each other that we know we belong together an one day we will be man an wife...

my first visit to the states

damm we got quite a bit in common huh lol... my family background is english but i do have ancestors from scotsland and roberts ancestor was rob roy..on his dads side...
he could chat your ear off about this stuff mate.. he is so knowledgable about it all..

ya did it to me again stella..lol...smiles..and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DIDNT HEAR THE MOANING FROM MELBOURNE he hasnt arrived yet ... but ya might around 10ish lol
ok im outta here got lots to do
take care how uncanny is that ...

p.s. i forgot to mention within that website it was made for our room mates so they are our nicks in the chatroom we met..

i emailed wed too about my interview an they got back to me friday...just keep checking your email.. if you cant get your fiance to do it for you mate...or someone you trust with your password to keep an eye out for you...

take a look at my time line .. my police check took ages cos they were back logged...

hi Lorelle
on my police certificate from vic..it states

this is to certify at the date of issue there are no disclosable court outcomes recorded against the name of:
kathryn j and kathryn b born on .....

both names which i gave on the form were on my police check mate

so i would ring the police department and ask them about it.. you are right if you have put all your names on the application forms to the embassey how do they know they didnt check for all those names...

what date are you looking at leaving oz mate...

stella why dont you see if you could go to a motel for the night an get a family memeber to pick you up on the date..just voice your wants for the day mate im sure he would understand that tradition...although robbie hates the idea of not seeing me for the last night as singles im spending it with my mates at a motel...ohh stella dont let him choose your outfit let it be a surprise for him

karo so happy to hear all is going well ...yes robbie is doing everything the only thing i have done is my make my throw away bouquet...although i have opinions on things he goes out an does it..hes even organised my hens night out ... the only thing we havent agreed on an i laugh at it cos it is sooooooooooo not a wedding food (prob cos he is a hillbilly lol) but he wants baked beans on the menu..i dont understand it but hes cooking the food so his choice...he reckons cos we are getting married on the 4th july long weekend we gotta have beans..never mind i gave in lol...

hi ya all

was just thinking of telling ale (sorry to shorten ya name but i cant remember how to spell it lol lazy i know) about DCF... the only thing on the DCF that is annoying is you already paid the I129f fee and you have to pay around $500 or so US on the day of the interview...when does your guy go back to the states...an yeah you lucky thing you do look young for your age....
take care
