Maybe we just need to replenish the Red Bull in the VSC fridge....

I wouldn't mind if this step would come to an end soon. I think the wait for a Montreal consulate interview is gonna be just as painful. blah... But - on a positive note, I'll get to see Brian and in about a week or so. His roommate moved out, so the condo will finally be ours!

Big hugs, March family.

That's funny - but oh so true! I'm feeling good approval vibes today!

I'm spending the day with Brian, just walking around downtown and then we're having an engagement photo shoot. Oh, how I love pictures!

Congratulations March 12th approvals!!!! Can I have a chicken pot pie now? hehehe.

Brian arrives Friday for a long-weekend visit. How awesome it would be to get an approval while we're together! But I am NOT expecting it, right? wink.gif

Anyone else think that the Red Bull is flowing in Vermont?! Wow, I'm getting excited. Congrats to everyone!

I also just booked Brian a trip to come up and visit in 1 week! It's a family reunion, and I'm happy to say that the WHOLE family will be here, including Brian!

I asked a very friendly customs agent months ago about it all.... as I heard different things, and he confirmed that you can travel up until you have the actual visa. Obviously it is up to the discretion of the agent each time one crosses that border, but that's what he said. He actually said he once allowed someone through even after she had her visa, but they didn't use it during that crossing. She just wanted to go down for a quick visit to put the final touches on her wedding. I don't think I'd chance that... but anyways, just wanted to share what I was told.

Wow, I go away to Vegas for a few days, and come back to see that March approvals are finally coming through! Good times.

I just spent 3 nights with Brian in Vegas... the trip was too short, in my opinion, but I'll take whatever I can get! I got to bond with my future sister and brother in law, so that was fun!

Hope you are all doing well and keeping your spirits high. Missy - hope you feel better soon!!!

I'm just dropping in to say hello to all my March peeps!

The estimated approval date keeps getting further and further away, so I'm using this time to save what money I can. I want to pay off my car before I move!

I'm training in a different city for work for the next week, so I've got something to distract me for now.... Brian just reminded me that I get to see him in 10 more sleeps! That can't come soon enough.

Big hugs to all!

We are still going forward with the K1 but a lot of unanswered questions right now......a lot to think about! I'm excited and a little sad all at the same time. Hope ya'll have a great day!

pssst! We moved to #300 just now.....I promise, as soon as we are in the 200's (and STAY there), I'll quit talking about it so much. On a positive note, I sold a few houses this weekend so I'm feeling pretty good about that anyway! It's HOT here, 100 degrees is what the bank said the temp was. Is it hot where you are??


It's definitely humid here in Ottawa today! My hair is getting a little frizzy!!!

Congrats on being #300...just one away from a 200 number! I'm taking advantage of this time to save up as much as I can. Not sure how well I can save with an upcoming Las Vegas trip on its way.... but I can try!

Maybe some people were on holidays and they'll be back Monday, all energized to send out some NOA2s!!!

What? A girl can dream!

Just think, this time next year, we'll be together with our husbands/wives!!!

So Brian and I have found an incredible lake front venue here in Orlando, only to learn that all of their weekends in spring of 2010 are completely booked!!! I'm a little bummed out....

I leave for home tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can pause today??

Hope you guys are all having a better day! Come on approvals!!!!!!!!!!

Just hit the button on the remote that looks like II smile.gif

Me? I'm relieved. My fiance had a friend from Europe decide to come and visit and stay at the condo ALL LAST WEEK. So much for some quality time with my fiance during my vacation! Grrr... I was surprised how quickly my patience ran thin. Maybe if she contributed to the groceries I wouldn't have been so unimpressed with her visit. I have a few more days to enjoy here before heading home and will definitely make the most of it!!!

We got new lamps for the bedroom. It's amazing how little things make me happy.

Richard - Bring lots of elastic banded pants and draw string pants for your cruise. After day 1, you won't fit into your regular shorts with all the delicious food!!! (Especially if you have a 24-hour, self-serve ice cream dispenser!!!)

Missy - Mmm...Wheaties! Endurance, eh? Hmm... wonder what that could be used for! lol. j/k.

Hey there everyone.

I'm sitting here in Florida, wishing it to be 5 PM already so my fiance will be done work... Seems like this chapter of my life should be called "PATIENCE."

So, anyone have fun plans for the week ahead?

Yes, this process certainly requires patience... no doubt...

Personally, I am working around the house, trying to get it presentable for my SO's visit, a mere 2 weeks, 1 day, 11 hours, 16 minutes and 42 seconds from now. smile.gif But who is counting? smile.gif



It's funny that you clean the house before your SO's visit. During my visits down here, I usually do some cleaning, laundry and cooking while my fiance is away at work. HAHA. Sometimes I already feel like I'm married! On his defense, I visit often, and usually arrive the day after he's had a ridiculously busy week. He took me to Disney World yesterday though, so luckily the visits are balanced with house stuff and fun stuff!

My sister and her partner have a house on Dog River in Mobile and we are getting married in their backyard - on the water. Just family and a very few friends and then a big 'ol party after. Nothing real formal but not too informal either.

We are going to have a party here in Jackson later on, for all of my friends that live here.


I've driven through Mobile when visiting my fiancé's family. My fiancé is from Vicksburg! Loved it.

Hey March Buddies!

So out of curiosity, what kind of wedding would you guys like to have?

I'm hoping for a beach wedding...feet in the sand...real casual deal. I would love to just have immediate family members there for the actual ceremony and then do a reception back in Orlando with friends and relatives a few months later.

Ok, your turn....

Found this really fitting quote this morning...

"I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together."

We thought we needed one, because I was rejected 2 years ago (from a previous relationship)
for lack of ties to Canada and we were very ignorant to this whole process.
