Yesss you should go to Europe! It's a whole new experience from the states! I've only been to 3 countries but I loved the adventure and in between the countries it's a lot cheaper once you're there!

I'm off to wash doom car so it'll be pretty and shiny before I sell it today! Then see if my honey will be online! Woot Woot!

Oh yes.. Klutz would be the beginning. I'm coordinated enough to ride a unicycle but then I run into chairs.. Yesterday I fell down the stairs inside my house and then at work ripped part of my nail off on my baby finger..! A couple days ago locked my keys in the car.. that was a first but still frustrating!

Hi all! Packing, sorting, packing and throwing, goodwill piles and packing... Leaving here early Friday morning to start this move!

On another note.. more "uscis" esque... should I just call the main number to inquire about my change of address?

Edit: ...It's hard to part with the stuffed animals but I don't think they belong in a "married home" unless there are children lol.. I had to get rid of loads!

Oof, all done and made.. 33 dollars! Better than just donating all of my things so I'm pretty happy.

sounds like a round of drink for the feb fam to me smile.gif

Did you get rid of a lot of stuff or do you still have stuff you need to get rid of?

Mm.. round of drinks sounds nice. I bought some gluten-free beer.. too bad it tastes like beer! I'd prefer rum and coke or .. Mojitoos!

I got rid of everything I put out at the sale besides the stuff I sold because my parents took the rest of my stuff and theirs to Goodwill then the dump so I'm lighter and free of junk! biggrin.gif

I just changed my address on the USCIS site so I'll call Monday I think to figure if they "understood" it. Says it was automatic but you know that doesn't mean anything for the site standards.

My real Mom lives in WA and my step-mom is here.. it is a bit confusing with all these moms all over the country tongue.gif.

I'm already pretty set and prepared for the $1010 and everything. We'll marry within the week he gets here for the paperwork to start getting filed and then a bigger family orientated ceremony a month or so later.

I think it's basically the same for everyone. Apply for SSN, then marriage certificate, marry then AOS application. Right?

I'm going to be moving into my moms house for "base camp" then getting a place closer to when Lampros comes to save some money. We set up my moms house as "base" on all of Lampros' forms for residency and what not.

Hi Liz! It was really good to see my sister and her little boy.. 11 month old sweetheart. Yes I'm leaving the 25th by train to my other sisters house near Philly then plane out of there a couple days later to Seattle! I sold the car which was my big worry.. sooo relieved now just little things and my step mom and I are doing a garage/yard sale this Saturday!

Long time no type! Hi all!! We married March 20th! Very small ceremony, my mom, step dad Lampros and I plus the pastor. We went today to the civil surgeon and ended up paying a total of 525 SO FAR for all his shots to be recognized. Blood work basically to prove he's had shots for mumps and all that fun stuff. We're getting all the paperwork together as we can and will file for AOS as soon as we get the papers in! It seems more of a feat in WA state to change my name on all my things than to do his paperwork for AOS. Ahhhh, being Mrs. Chaidas is amazing though, I love it!!!

Sorry for such a long reply to anything, we're very busy with my full time "strict" work hours and the paperwork plus of course helping my mom move not only her belongings to her new house, but her 5,000 book business too!

Hope everyone is taking care and are doing really well, I'll try and get in her more often as I can!

Hi all :)

We went to the P.O.E near the Canadian border (30 minutes away instead of hour and 30 to Seattle) and got the paperwork taken care of!!

the Immigration officers were laughing about how poorly the pre-clearance was handled.. lol.

We are getting ready to start doing things here, social security card and marry!! The immigration officer at the border said that we should marry before getting the SSN because it will further prove that he deserves a SSN but I'm very wary of this because of what happened with Derek.

What did you do wrong Derek that made it so your honey can't work til later or does anyone know in what order I should do things??

Lampros is here!!! He landed last night at about 7pm :D :D :D

No one even talked to him about his paperwork or even looked at his visa though!! We have to drive back to a different part of the airport to give them the folder which is still sealed and unlooked at! Bah! Oh well... HE'S HERE!!!

Apparently immigration at Seattle Airport closes at 5pm, so anyone can come into the states from wherever after 5! :P
