Some Good News

On Wednesday the 28th we got new from our lawyer that our papers are being processed. It was a very happy day for both of us. We still don't know how long the whole process takes but we are so happy it has started. Once the papers are approved here then they go to a national visa center and more papers are filed then it goes to Islamabad for the final process. Thank you everyone for all your prayers for us. We are so happy that our time to be together as a family will be soon. With summer coming upon us it is getting harder not being together. There is so much beauty here I want to share with Shobi. So many holidays to celebrate with family. I wish you all could know what a wonderful guy he is. Soon!!

Update

I know it has been a long time since I have updated my blog. So I thought I would update you a bit. We are still waiting on immigration to get to our paper work. They are getting closer. The last time I checked they were at Sept. 5, 2007 and we are Nov. 13, 2007. We are still in the dark at how long it will take even when they get to our work. We are hoping by the end of this year we can be together. Things are going good for us in the mean time. We are just trying to stay busy so the time goes by faster. Shobi is working with a friend in travel and still at the salon. I am working still at the Haven Salon and getting the yard ready for summer. I know he looks forward to meeting everyone as do you look forward to meeting him. Let's all keep our fingers crossed so maybe it will happen sooner then later. :)

How we met

Three years ago Shobi and I met on a dating website. Yes this can really happen!
We started talking and talking, since this is about all you can do when you live in different places. Well eventually our talking lead to feeling then lead to love.
I know it isn't the normal relationship pattern but then what really is normal?
I never really thought of myself as normal and I always try to be a tad different.
Anyways talking for 3 years really lets you get to know someone.
We do come from different backgrounds but that is the exciting part.
We have so much to share with each other and to teach each other.
But the one thing that is the most important is the love we have for each other.
