Bah

I wrote a nice long entry, but was dumb and should have written it in Word first, and it got lost when I tried to publish it *sniff* So I will try again tomorrow when we find out what the new processing dates are.

Have not seen each other in 325 days! Sent I-129F 83 days ago!

Congratulations to my good friends Mo (Ireland) and Michelle (Texas)

whose wedding I attended on August 14th!

And thanks to the Dallas area test program, Mo almost has his green card and EAD already, and has only been in the USA for a month and a half! Woe is us, but at least the NSC is looking at applications they received on May 13th (we're June 7th) - so another 2-3 weeks and they will have ours in their grubby little hands.
I am finding myself really overwhelmed will all the things I have going on lately - all the million aspects of filing immigration forms, the waiting, the costs, plus I am looking for an apartment, working overtime, learning to drive and will soon get a car, preparing for Xavier's family to visit in February, Xavier's move here, probably going to the UK in November for a visit and to look at rings and meet Xavier's grandparents, etc etc etc, plus I will have a new nephew practically the same week Xavier moves to the USA! Oh, the humanity!
Currently, Xavier is ready to send off for his police clearance to submit to the embassy in London in about October or November, and is about ready to get his passport renewed (it expires in October). I spent all day Sunday going around and scouting out apartment complexes, and am about to put in a request to my employer for the letter I need as part of my I-134 submission (my current immigration project). Xavier has been researching pubs/bars in our intended new neighborhood *grin* He told me what he'd miss the most about living in the UK would be pubs and good Indian food. I don't even live there, and those are way up there on the list of things I miss as well :) We are also coming to the slow and dim realisation that Xavier will be a British Expatriate! Weird!
Am also never finding time to work on the website, which is annoying because I have been looking forward to having this website for quite some time. But I shall keep trying!
Yeah, I guess that's all I got for now *grin* Hope your experiences are going well, to whoever may be reading this.
