Well we have celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and it was WONDERFUL! I feel very fortunate to have met and married such a wonderful, loving, caring man. We had a great weekend, we had a blast on Saturday night (Halloween), Zed dressed up as a scarecrow, and sat on the front porch with the pumpkin and the lil trick or treaters LOVED him! It was so cute. He did manage to scare a few kids, but he was very kind to the lil itty bitty ones! We had lots of kids too, probably 30 or more. Then Sunday we had a wonderful morning got some lovely cards from our family (in the US and AU) and some lovely messages from friends and family. Mom came and picked nana up for the day so we could have some time to ourselves. We went to dinner at mom & dads at 4pm and were welcomed by the most lovely surprise! They had turned their house into “Chez Flaussies” for the evening. There was a adorable little table set for two in the living room, the fireplace was lit (well the little log that holds about 12 tea lights was lit, its still WAY to warm here for a real fire, but it was a nice touch), good dishes, wine glasses, and we were served by the “Chez Flaussies” staff. Nana was the Matre D (I am sure my wonderful husband will correct that if I spelled it wrong LOL), mom was the waitress, and of course my dad was Chef Bob! We had home-made french onion soup with the bread and delicious cheese, steak, baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives from “Chez Flaussies” herb garden, Black Berry merlot wine, and some lovely starters to the meal, relish tray, some smoked meats. We had such a good time, and so much love and thought went into it, and it meant even more because I know how much love Zed and I put into things and to see our family go to the effort to make our evening a memorable one, was just amazing. I will have Zed post some photos later so everyone can see, it was truly magical, and our anniversary was amazing.

Zed’s green card came in the mail today!!!!!! Needless to say I am THRILLED and to just be able to enjoy being married to such a wonderful man with no immigration worries for 1 year and 9 months. . . . ahhhhh its the best feeling ever! What a wonderful Monday! Thanks to my incredible husband for being so supportive and loving and keeping me grounded when I otherwise would have lost my mind, and to our families for all their love and support! KISSES & HUGS TO EVERYONE!

This has been the best week ever! As I see my wonderful husband has already posted about how excited we are about the immigration process being done for now. It has been such a smooth ride for us, we feel very fortunate that all has gone so well, so smooth and so fast! I am so proud of him and how strong he has been through this process, he has been my rock! I love him with all my heart, and am so glad to know that he is here to stay, we can travel when we are ready to travel, and hopefully this will also make getting work easier for him being a permanent resident! I also want to thank both of our families for all their love and support because without them, we could never have gotten this far. We are very lucky to have each other and the support of our family.

Just thought I would let everyone know that yesterday we picked up Zed’s medical exam paperwork and IMMEDIATELY took it to the post office to be sent back to Lees Summit Missouri where our documents are being processed for Immigration. . . . Stay tuned hopefully our next update will be because we have his employment card in hand FINGERS CROSSED everyone!

Saw this pic and made me smile thinking about the happiest day of my life!

Our counting of days since immigration received our papers.
