Thanks guys! 
I'm just over the moon and it's sinking in that we are really going to close the distance in a little over 3 weeks! Holy crap, I have a lot to do! 
LOL! I have to finish getting the apartment ready (I began a project to create more space in the closet but never finished it, haha...there is about half of the clothes storage space now available for his clothes, but I want to cull some stuff from the top shelves if possible).
I've been holding about 3 huge boxes of Christmas decorations for my dad from when his house was foreclosed upon EIGHT years ago (and now in 3 different apartments, yeesh), and he's been in a stable and permanent living situation now for over a year and has the space for it, we just never see each other because he works nights, so we need to coordinate a way for him to come get his stuff.
I'm switching banks from a big, national chain to a local credit union (where we will open a joint account as well when he gets here) so I need to go down there to start a savings and a checking account next week. I need to figure out an appointment with the civil surgeon he'll need to see to confirm to USCIS that all his vaccines are up to date, etc. I'll need to call and reserve a time to get married at City Hall and try to round up the small amount of people we're inviting to our little ceremony. And that's not all I have to do! It's so exciting and I'll be so busy the next few weeks are going to fly by, and then he'll be here! It's so awesome!
Oh yeah, and I still need to file my taxes.
Sad as this sounds, I'm 29 and it's the first time I'll be doing them on my own. My stepdad has always done them for me. I told him this year I want to do it myself. It happens that I'm in the demographic in my state to qualify for free e-filing for both state and federal. I'm waiting for a copy of my state tax refund for last year (this is considered income in my state and has to be claimed as income), because I was stupid and misplaced it when I moved to this apartment in August.
I'm going to be busy! I can't wait for him to get here!
