First blog for us

I wanted to create a page that both our families and friends could come to, to see how we're doing and what is new and interesting in our lives. Currently we're going through the Fiancee Visa process. I know what you're thinking, ???Fiancee...Visa??? Yes, that IS what it's called. I knew that when my mom and dad got married, that that's how dad arrived in the US, but I only now realize what they went through back then. What a stressful thing to have to worry about. I don't know if the time frame was the same back in the 70's, but it is SLIGHTLY worrying that you will have to have this visa before the wedding date that we have already planned. Now, we're thinking that we'll have the visa before February or at the latest that month, but I'm a little worried that something will go wrong. I don't know what we'll plan if that happens, so I'm not thinking about it.

During the past year, we've been doing this long distance thing, and it has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. To miss someone this way, no one should have to go through. We've done this because we knew that it is worth it. The love and connection that we have has hit both of us from out of nowhere, and I'm so happy it did. We've spent many days on the computer, and I think others have thought it was crazy to always be talking to each other. My explanation for it is this... In a normal relationship, you have so many days and evenings where you are spending time together, we haven't been able to have that. The time that you can sit and just BE together, we don't have. I don't say this so you feel bad for us, it's just so you understand us. We don't take our time together for granted. We make the most of every second we have together in person. There are so many times that we wish the other could have been there as we have fun with our friends and family. The times when we are with our friends and their signifigant other, and wish we could be doing the same. So now, we are planning those times that we get to share together, and it is so exciting!!!

So, we only have a few months left until we are FINALLY in the same place, I can't wait!!! We found a great place for our ceremony and reception, and we're hoping the food is as good as they boast (Robin is especially worried about this). The other new and exciting thing is a possible house. To explain what we're going through, is way to difficult. Just know that we are in that process, and it's slightly added stress. But if we could get a house, and have a place to live, oh, that would be wonderful.
