As most of you old-schoolers know, Chris (Head Wreck) and I have been hand-fasted since April 4th of 2009. He is from South Wales, UK, and I've lived here in the Metro-Detroit area for most of my life. We decided that it would be best for me to move there, instead of him applying for citizenship here in the states. He has a good job, and a wonderful family. As for me, I don't have much to offer, in the way of comfortability or resources. Therefore, I have tied up most of my personal loose ends, applied for a marriage visa (which finally came in the mail, last week), and am headed away from the country of my birth, to begin a new life with the person I love.
Details:
Chris will be arriving here to help pack up and sell off/give away all of the stuff I won't be taking with me, on Monday, March 21st, at 1:30pm. He and I (and my two kitties) will be flying out of Detroit on Wednesday, April 6th, at 6:50pm. I won't be able to return to the states to visit until 2 years after we are legally married (as per UK immigration law).
Thanks again, to everyone who contributed their letters of personal reference for my visa, helped us with running errands, and everything else we have required assistance with! It is because of you, that we will finally be able to live our "happily ever-after."
We have lots to do here, to prepare for my big move---but we're going to try and schedule at least two social events, during his stay & before our departure. We're thinking about doing a group dinner date, and possibly throwing a going-away/anniversary party. We will keep you all posted, by way of this thread.
