Love is in the Air - October Reach ~~~

:cool: I am excited to share that I WILL be going to Negril in October (actually end of Sept to third week in October probably). I will add my dates to the Roll Call when I confirm. :cool:

Many of you know my Jamaican fiancee Kevin and we finally have our K1 visa interview date at the US Embassy in Kingston on October 12th. We met in Negril over eight years ago and have cultivated our relationship over that time. Our families and best friends have met each other - we were even blessed to see each other two years in a row in Niagra Falls Canada where he was working with the Jamaican Farm Program. We filed last November and although it is a tedious process its worth it in our eyes. We will go that day prepared and full of hope and it will be up to the officer whether we will be approved. If approved, we would fly to my home in Austin and will marry within 90 days (trying not to think that far ahead though lol). We know it is with a higher power.

So I will be coming soon to Negril to help with the preparation steps. This will be a "bidness" trip LOL but trus mi I will enjoy every moment. If its in your heart, Me and Kevin would humbly appreciate any good thoughts on you might send up on October 12th.

October boardies - see ya round town - now off to look at flights, hotels.......LIKKLE MORE sweet Jamaica!!!!

Sending lots of irie your way! 8 years long distance... wow, must be love! :)

Congratulations and many blessings to you and Kevin, Sweetness!

Sweetness, this brings tears to my eyes. Much happiness for you two, now and forever. Bless

@garysteph - yes we have both had to be very strong and committed. It truly was love at first sight but has taken years of sharing life experiences to really know each other. Spending time together long term was key too - you never know if you can peacefully coexist without that test. :eek:

@maryann - thank you so much for your kind words - I feel em.

@Juli - dang as soon as I read you post I busted out tears, I am overjoyed (if thats possible lol). But just cautiously optimistic at this point. Thank you for your love Juli I mean that!

Oh Sweetness - I am so happy for you. Finding one's soulmate is such a joy. I wish you both endless happiness!

@Patty - blushing over here....you are so wise - you are right about both of us having all the blessings we need and more but thanks for sending a few more our way for good measure - I love you lady. Sorry to rain on your wedding swim suit parade but the wedding must be in US and Kevin will not be able to travel for awhile until we complete even more paperwork on the US side. I will miss you all in December but we would love to do a live chat with everyone somehow so think about that OK. BUT I am hopefully our first trip back to JA together will be in April!!!! Bless!

@Coco - thank you so much. I am a "believer" lol. I hope that you guys will consider having dinner with us - you will be there in October right?

See, dreams do come true!
