>~~~( : English Lizzard : )~~~<

[lizzardbits]

After much soul searching, not so great luck with getting a job for me, and finding out England's Fiance' visa processing times are approx ONE to TWO WEEKS (!!!), Mayhem and I have decided that we are tired of the torture of being apart and we just want to be with each other.

The idea is to live in Jolly Ol' for 2-5 years and save up moolah to come back to the States.

The missing each other is about driving us batty, and we are sappy romantic mushballs. Plus we are both really really horny!---but sex isn't the major deciding factor, but a nice fat cherry on top of the Mayhem sundae---mmmmm

I will hopefully be leaving for the UK shortly after the American holiday of Thanksgiving. I wanted to be there for Mayhem's 28th birthday on Nov 11, but it gives me time to get my lizards in a row.

I am supremely nervous about moving there, however there are also other reasons that calm my logical mind, and my sweet sweet Mayhem, who with just a few words, can make my heart flutter, or calm my nerves.

Like the song says "I finally found the love of a lifetime..." :loveshowe

....and so I go.

[jseal]

lizzardbits,

Well good for you! That's taking control of your life! :thumbs:

[Steph]

we are sappy romantic mushballs

Wow, you learn something new every day! :D :D

Congrats, guys!!!!! A nice early birthday present for Mayhem!

[Neige]

Good luck, have fun and congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lilith]

Congrats!

How about your kiddos? Are they excited about it?

[rabbit]

Way to go Lizz...chase that dream!

[sodaklostsoul]

WOW and Double WOW!!!!!!!!!! I'm speechless. Congrats!!!!!

[PantyFanatic]

NO! Now I have to 'watch' ANOTHER flight schedule/report :hair:






;)

[Fangtasia]

Congrats!

Wishing you all the best!!

[lizzardbits]

Congrats!

Not sure if they quite grasp it yet, for that matter, I am still having a bit of a time wrapping my mind around it.

I like that they'll end up with an English accent....it sounds so sophistocated compared to my American twangy accent.

Also, my dreams of going into education may not be put on the back burner---Mayhem needs to do some more checking, but I may be able to be a classroom assistant, and get some classroom time---hopefully.

[Scarecrow]

Lizzardbits, it looks like thing may be looking up for the two of you. Hope all goes smoothly and you have a happy time in jolly ol' England.

[wyndhy]

congrats you two!!

[gekkogecko]

Beware strange lizards offering unsolicited advice.

[osuche]

I wish you luck and love. Enjoy the adventure of getting to live abroad -- few peopl eget to experience this blessing.

[WildIrish]

I'm very happy for the two of you. It's got to be exciting and scary all at once, and when the dust settles...you'll be so relieved to be "living your dream."


(((((Lizz & Mayhem)))))

[mayhem1978]

Thank you everyone for your kind words and wishes. We will keep you all informed and im sure things will go really well.

PF at least its only ONE flight for now :P

[CuteCoupleOz]

((((((((((Lizzardbits)))))))))) .......I know exactly what you're feeling......but you're a strong woman and you'll be just fine........many happy thoughts as you get everything ready.

[Oldfart]

You have such a good start, make the most of it.

[Aqua]

I'm glad the two of you will be together soon... good luck!

[LixyChick]

(((((Lizz & Mayhem)))))

Just remember, "change is good". The fear is of the unknown and it's normal. But if you didn't try you'd always wonder...what if..............

I wish you the very best in love and family, health and money!

[dicksbro]

Just think, now you'll be able to visit a whole slew of countries each weekend! :)

Of course, making to the next "PAGAN" may be a bit more tricky. :(

Oh well, just happy for you two getting the chance to be ... well ... happy! :D

[lizzardbits]

Of course, making to the next "PAGAN" may be a bit more tricky. :(
perhaps we can have a UK PAGAN?!?

[rockintime]

Glad to hear the good news, Liz and Mayhem. Best wishes for a great life together.

[Pita]

(((((((((Liz & Mayhem)))))))))) I'm so glad you two will soon be together. I know for my own personal experience how hard a long distance relationship can be. Best of luck to you both.

[dicksbro]

Now there's an idea! :x:

[mayhem1978]

Ok ppl, get your prayer mats, hats, undies or whatever on.

Our paperwork has hit the office in Chicago. Now we have to wait (again) good job it isnt for as long as the other places.

Eeep

im crossing everything that is possible here

[PantyFanatic]

Now DON'T let the lawyers (http://www.pixies-place.com:81/forums/showthread.php?t=26943&highlight=barrister) near it! :banghead:

[dicksbro]

Now DON'T let the lawyers near it :banghead:

Good advice, although did you have to use the profanity? Couldn't you have said those guys with the white wigs or something like that?

[sodaklostsoul]

:wish:

[PantyFanatic]

I'd rather have him here than her there, but we have to make our Lizard happy.

[sodaklostsoul]

He'll take good care of her PF. :)

[mayhem1978]

PF I would much rather be moving to the US than have her move here...BUT the problems she had finding a job and somewhere for us to live kinda ruled that out.

I will look after her and we will return to the US

[Loulabelle]

It's not THAT bad this side of the Atlantic, y'know!

Don't worry - I'll look after them!

[PantyFanatic]

I'm not worried that it's "bad" where the time count starts. It may well be getting better than here overall. I'm just not looking to have Pixies get further apart, we need them closer together. I'd get us an island (little smaller than that one ;) ) and all Pixies could move together, but then we wouldn't need to be an online group then. :rofl:

[lizzardbits]

Could I order a semi tropical island? one that stays around 72F/22.2C year round? I hate being cold. and i want virgin pina coladas and a huge fire pit for all of us to dance around and a big water tight hut/house to party in and so on and so forth LOL

Seriously, Thank you for being concerned and supportive. I don't have "cold feet" about marrying Mayhem, or moving to England, but I sure do have about 748,744,238,452,345 excited and nervous butterflies in my stomach all day, so the support and concern help to calm those butterflies.

First thing, first---first we must get the visa approved for me to go there. I need to make some phone calls today and I hope that they go well. *fingers crossed*

the calls went well and we should hear in about a week if I get the visa and go to my Mayhem on the 29th of Nov, landing the 30th in England.

-=~Zooooom~=- this all moves fast!

Feel free to use all of us as references. :thumbs:





... er ... maybe you want to think about that. :(

[gekkogecko]

Good idea; lizards need proper basking temperatures.

[lizzardbits]

WE ARE APPROVED!!!

I got the message tonight and the very nice lady said that I am approved for a fiance' visa for the UK and I will be receiving the paperwork back, via Fed Ex, within the next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy that I called Mayhem at 2am his time, and hollered down the phone at him that we did it, we are approved, I am free to fly over anytime now! Poor guy probably will think it a dream and read it here to confirm what I told him, LOL!

This is what we wanted in some form or another since Stonehenge, June 21st 2005. WE DID IT!!!! We can finally get married!!!! :loveshowe

Thank you all for your support and going through this with us! Now----
Let's Celebrate!!!!

[mayhem1978]

[lizzardbits]

I am packing up my computer now, so I'll be off line until Thursday. Just wanted to let all my Pixies family know. (((((Pixies)))))

[sodaklostsoul]

[IowaMan]

:wave: We'll miss you back here in the Hawkeye state Lizz but I've got a feeling you're going to be a tad bit happier across the pond. ;)

[sodaklostsoul]

Thanks for the info Mayhem..........................have a good trip Lizz!! Be safe my friend, loves ya!

[dicksbro]

Good luck, God bless, and best wishes to one of our very special people Lizz! Let us know when you get there ... although we'll understand a brief hello to mayhem first. :D







(Okay, maybe not so brief. :rolleyes2 )

[Mae]

Liz...I wish you a safe and peaceful flight to England. The butterflies will fly away. :) Have a wonderful reunion with Mayhem. :) If you can, (and you're not too *AHEM* busy), post some pics of wedding and all when things settle down. Warm and heartfelt wishes to you. :)

I just LUV saying "she's on Aer Lingus right now". :licker:



:p

[Oldfart]

They speak a foreign tongue on that plane.

[gekkogecko]

but I get to be with my man again and have some hot and sweaty nookie!!!

I am packing up my computer now, so I'll be off line until Thursday. Just wanted to let all my Pixies family know.



So, it's Thursday. Did you unpack the 'puter & set up the webcam before the hot sweaty nookie?

[mayhem1978]

Well shes here!!!! YAY

After a long trip my baby has arrived safe and sound in my arms. I worried over her first flight cause it was delayed BIG time... like almost 3 hours and that would have meant a sprint to catch the next only to find out, when she arrived here, that she actually caught an earlier one.. See check in staff are helpful sometimes.

The re-union was everything we hoped it would be. We are both very tired right now, me after waking at 4am GMT and never getting back to sleep and her after a long trip.. We will both sleep well tonight... eventually.

She only did that so I'd be watching the wrong little plane blip across my screen.:hair:

[Aqua]

Glad to hear you two are back in each other's arms! :)

[Loulabelle]

Yay! Welcome to Blighty Lizz! I've been keeping it warm for you....OK, so maybe not warm exactly, but the welcome is!

[PantyFanatic]

OK smarty panties! So you picked the right day (http://www.nbc5.com/news/10434721/detail.html).
