Great News but Still Time Apart

Well this last Friday I was up really late one because I worked til 11 and two because I just couldn't sleep. I was too busy feeling sad for myself that my husband wasn't here and how the next day I would be going to the temple without him. I have done that before, but this was a special occasion and I wanted him to be there. Well I decided to check my email. Well I'm so happy that I did! I received an e-mail that we were approved for the I-130 and that they will be sending is the I-797 within the next two weeks. I was so happy I quickly messaged my husband who called me. After that I had the best night of sleep I have has in weeks.

What does this all mean?? Well it means that we can now start all the checklist stuff like the background checks, medical, finical support etc. I will go more into detail once I receive it. No he can't come to America yet, but we are one step closer to having him here. I have been praying for the last week for a little ray of hope from Heavenly Father that I may be able to endure this long wait. He answered my prayers. I feel so blessed and grateful for his love and wisdom. I have had rain and for a little while I will enjoy this rainbow as I wait for the sun.

Many great thing and blessing are happening and we continue on our journey. All of this just confirms to me that we are doing the right thing and are doing as Heavenly Father wants us too:
I found a job strait away
I was offered a promotion
My husband is going back to school and will have a second degree by the end of November
I have lost weight
I was also called to 2nd Counselor in RS
He was called as a Ward Missionary

I want to thank all of those who have shown me so much love and support especially our parents who have show us such great love.

It's a Bit of a Waiting Game

Everyone ask me all the time, "When is your husband getting here?" Well to be honest I don't really know. The way they told me that it works is that there is a 5 month waiting period before they look at your case and then they will finally send your a list of things they need from you, also know as an I-797. Well we filed at the end of February and will soon hit our 5 month mark. Oh I hope that they are ready for the storm that is a waiting wife who hasn't been with her husband for 5 months. One thing though is that we have prayed and fasted that my husband will get here by the end of November as he will have finished his second degree for his university study.

There are a lot of emotions that I have at this time including; anger, frustration, sadness, joy and fear. One thing that I have learned though is that it is impossible for me to live without this man. He is my rock and my one and only. I will love him and want to be with him for eternity that I know for sure.

Make up & High heels

If you ask my husband one thing he has always loved about me is how low maintenance I was. Then I became a fumpy wife :( well I was tired of being a fumpy wife. Lately I've been getting health and dressing better why??? It makes me happier and it makes my husband happier. It has shown that I still miss him and how important he is to me. I still am not too over the top but i make an effort and that is enough for me. So far I've lost over 10lbs and feel great. I love the praise I receive from him from over Facebook Messager! Loving life as husband and wife well sort of.
