Chris4Gretchen

Well, here we are very  close to Christmas missing each other alot. Finally we get our USA approval on Gretchen’s visa. We got the official notice in the mail December 12th. that first hurdle is the hardest to wait on. Now the NVC ( National Visa Center) will get our petition and do a background check on me. that takes about 4 weeks to get, do the check and forward our case to Manila. I am expecting by the end of Jan to have an interview date scheduled for the Manila embassy. right now we are on track for a March to April interview. it seems so far away right now, but i know its coming fast. Just missing her is very hard on normal days. But on holidays its especially difficult. Once we get our interview date, all sorts of fun things can happen. we can book the hotel room and book all our flights and we will know when we will be together again. I hope its a long time before we are separated again. But for now, we have our Christmas present in being approved on this side of the pacific ocean, and our journey is well under way. soon it will bring us together and living our life in Vegas. We both cant wait. I have a million details to take care of before she arrives. I have lived alone and as a bachelor for several years now. you can imagine the cleaning i do lol. So i have alot of scrubbing to do in my place. And i need to go thru and spring clean, and make my place a little more inviting to a lovely lady and a little less manly. Making space in closets and bathroom for all her wonderful feminine things, shopping for items i know she will need have become my pasttimes. The cats are wondering what happened to their lazy dad lol. Course they have a new mom coming that they dont even know about but will be thrilled to have. I have gotten my life in a very good place and its a good life to share. This separation we have had has taught me to appreciate her everyday, and i have a lot of missed kisses to make up for.
