hey girls i just got cured about something tongue.gif
I felt in love with the Max Chaoul wedding dresses.

http://www.maxchaoul...e.com/index.htm

I just come back from the store where i tried some dresses.
Just 2 dresses, the less expensive ones... (3200 euros)

It look really really nice but.... no.
Even a wedding dress don't need to be so expensive.



Wow, those are beautiful. That's pretty amazing. You can talk him into it!!!



prices are beautifull too tongue.gif


Yes these are beautiful dresses! They're so beautiful I'd be afraid to wear them and break or dirty them!

There's exercise and then there's fun active stuff to do. I don't really want to sit around and lift weights with Olga, nor would I be particularly excited about a spin class or joining her in aerobics (I don't look as good in tights as I used to tongue.gif ) What I do plan to do with her is play a lot of tennis, go to the pool (what guy wouldn't want to see his gal in a bathing suit), bike riding, and lots and lots of walking. I know if we don't do these things we'll sit around in the kitchen talking or on the couch watching TV or other sedintary type things. Not good for anyone's waistlines.


Bike riding and walking sound good. we'll probably do that. Apparently there is a park next to where he lives, I'm sure we'll go there from time to time.

As the old saying goes, Fat & happy!

I like the gym or rec center idea because it is a place you two can go to together, making exercise a family activity. A lot of rec centers have aerobic classes, or swiming or matial arts - which can be a shared hobby as well. the YMCA is good, not expensive, and not a fashion show like some private health clubs.

yes.gif

I'm often quite shy about joining classes and I prefer to have someone to go with - so hopefully Alex and I can go to classes together. I'd love to attend a dance class.



I'm shy too, but not in the same way. I wouldn't want to exercise with my husband. It seems so strange. I'd rather join a gym class where I don't know anybody than exercise with him.
I can't explain why. He knows almost everything about me, so do I, we share lots and lots of things, and we're definitely not prudish. But when I think of working out together, somehow there's a block in my mind.
But maybe we will.

Don't worry too much - nervous energy leading up to the wedding can help. Cutting out sweets will definitely help, and perhaps having your avitar not eat so much might help as well laughing.gif

So is the marriage everybody's first motivation?
I'm not doing it for the marriage. I'm not trying to lose weight or to look slimmer. (that would actually be alarming if I lost weight!). My main motivation is that I don't exercise enough and it will be worse in the USA. So I'm starting now.
And about diet, I'm trying to eat better. I almost don't eat meat so I have to figure out how to get all the good nutrients and vitamins that are missing in my diet.

Bryan started to exercise at his house, and I did the same. Would be a lot better to join a gym, I'll probably do that once in the USA. Like you I'm afraid I'm going to be a lot more inactive once I get there...

Two months and a half since we sent the petitions. Time flies quite fast, but CSC isn't doing a great job either. We need a few more approvals this week: I wanted to be 150th on Igor's list at the end of the week, right now we're 152nd... please CSC we need at least two more approvals. 150th would be a small victory. it seems that every week it's the same: there's a good start with 4 or 5 approvals a day, and then... almost nothing for the end of the week.

Welcome back Rachel, sounds like you had a good and long weekend!

And welcome shes!
About VSC and CSC, the only difference is that most of the time, VSC approves petitions a lot faster than CSC. Half of the people who filed in January already got their NOA2. As BlakeandOlha explained on the first post of this topic, he created this separate topic because on the "january filers" one, they all started to show how happy they were because they got NOA2, and they were talking about the next steps of the project. Even though we like them too (of course!) and we are happy for them, sometimes it was a little strange to have this big difference. I mean, we're far from that step and I know that reading so many messages about NOA2 made me a little upset sometimes.
That's why there are different topics. (though I read both of them!)
That's also why you will see many CSC people vent about how slow it is compared to VSC.
Though in the end, the result will be the same for everybody: we will be able to spend the rest of our life with our SO!

Levi and I met on a chat site and hit it off right away as we have a similar sense of humor and were great friends from the start. After several months we decided to meet and Minneapolis was a good half way point so that was the plan but my car broke down in the middle of nowhere Iowa!!!! It was a Friday evening by then and an ice storm was moving in so had my car towed to a dealership and they said they couldn't get to it til Tuesday! I ended up staying at a hotel in this small town and Levi had made it to Minneapolis by then and said no way was he going to miss seeing me so drove another few hours in the ice storm to get to me.... So sweet! When we met it was like we had always known each other and the rest is history:)


wow that was real bad luck! It must have been great to see Levi arrive, in the middle of the ice storm, only to be with you smile.gif

Aw, I am sorry to hear work is so stressful for you. sad.gif

Still very much hoping that you and every else get swift approvals. I want us all to be having our interviews around the same time, too!

So, I'm curious, guys - how did you all meet? I've heard a couple of stories from people but if the question has been asked before it was too long ago for my poor brain to remember!


How we met...

I went to St. Louis as an exchange student. I arrived in August 2005 and left in December, a few days before Christmas. On Halloween night I went to a club, it was goth night so I knew there would be good music ("good" meaning "that I like", I'm sure some people would hate it). I didn't want to go alone so I asked my only American friend to come with me. He was a guy from my math class, and we had similar tastes in music. He said he couldn't come because he had an exam the next day. So I went back home, sad... and two hours later he came back, saying that he changed his mind. So we went. Of course I didn't have any costume, so I just wore normal clothes (well, short skirt, big shoes, and these nice black gothy things biggrin.gif).
I spent almost the entire evening dancing, and there was that guy, wearing a Hannibal Lecter costume, who started dancing with me. We danced without talking. At one point he removed the mask he had because it was to hot. I could see his nice big tattoo on his back through the camisole.
We talked a little, I told him I was French, he asked for my phone number but I didn't had one, so I gave him my email address, he gave me his.
We met again later, we went to a diner. Then movie night. Then a walk in the park. Then probably lots of other things I can't remember right now (sorry, headache tonight)
We became addicted to each other.
Since we met on Halloween night (what a great anniversary day!), we only spent a month and a half together before I came back to France.

I don't know how long it takes until NVC gets the package, but I know how to contact them! I hope it can help you.

Contact NVC :
you can call them @ (603)334-0700, 1, then 5. You can't use the automated system to check K1 visas coz they don't load these into their automated system. So make sure you speak with a customer service representative.

track paperwork from NVC to embassy:

no it wasn't blank but I would not consider the date they put there as a "touch", only as the date they first entered it in the system. then it stayed at that date until yesterday. that's why I said we never had a touch.

Alex may actually ask his father to be a co-sponsor, as Alex's earnings are perilously close to 125% of the poverty line for two people. Even if his dad says yes I shall still feel a little guilty. Hopefully we'll be able to support ourselves, but even so I'm not keen on the idea of being named as an 'official' burden to anyone. Alex, okay, we'll be a married unit anyway, his dad...not so much.

I was afraid we would have to get a co-sponsor, for the very same reasons as you. and it turned out that he gets more money than I thought tongue.gif
If he has to ask his father to do so, make sure you talk to him and make him understand that even though officially he will be responsible of you, you are not planning to ask him any money and that you will be able to manage your life without his help. Make him understand that even though there is still a very slight possibility you might become a burden to him someday, presumably this won't happen. If he understands it this way and accept it, you'll accept it easier too.

I doubt it is a men thing... I kinda start to think it is a USC thing as my SO is exactly like yours as I am also the one who has to tell her what to do laughing.gif


laughing.gif maybe it's because since the next step is us, foreigners, at the embassy, they assume they don't have anything to do anymore?

I've sent the link of the guides several times to Bryan, but I know he still expects me to list everything he has to do. So, I do it. I sent him a very detailed list with absolutely everything, well ordered (financial stuff / proofs / etc). Then a week later (yesterday) I asked if he had started and he said that he meant to and that he would start after work. And he did start. Everytime he has a question he asks to me, or (even better) he tells me to look for the answer on VJ!
At least that way, I'm in control of the process and I can check everything he does and when he does it.
