What is *Your* Next Big Step(s)?

[threecheers9980]

Moving in together is our next big step. A smaller (but still pretty big) step coming up is our first major trip together.

[Karringtyn]

To get his house sold. This is the first time we don't have a visit planned....I think in our hearts we are banking on the fact that his house will sell this time quick.

I admire each of you for each step that you have to do...each of us go through our own steps and issues and the love that I see on this board for your SO's is amazing...love this place.

Well we closed the distance, but our next big step is getting his adjustment of status sent, and get his green card. This involves a $1010 application fee, an interview we both have to attend, a biometrics thing he has to do before they let him work, and so much paperwork, my head swims. Some of it can't be in English. @_@ Nightmare.
Our other big step is attempting to have a baby. Eek.

[Erika]

Our next step is me going out to his place so I can meet his parents. Probably at Christmas time.

Then after that it will be us moving in together. He has to finish his training in the army and I have to finish my last year of school.

[milaya]

Our next big step is... first off... to get engaged in November.
Then I have to achieve good grades at university the next 1 and a half year, so I can study a year in Japan.
After that another one and a half year in Denmark... and then the big step is to move to Japan with him.
Get married somewhere in between.
Then have kids...

Simple... (not) XD

[XX, Lexi]

Our current goal is to get enough money saved up for us to see each other in december.
After that, it's to finish school and save up enough money for us to finally be with each other. Other than that, I have no idea.
Geez, I have a lot of planning to do D=

[MTK]

Hmm I would suppose that our next big step is getting married, then figuring out if we are moving to a completely new country or not, find head and tails in all those stupid laws and actually move.

I might be the only one here that has no idea when i will get to see my bf, well meet him for the first time..so my next big step is patience. He is trying to sale one of his car's and he is waiting on an insurance settlement...once money comes in, then it will be a visit..and then him move here. The both of us are planning it to by the end of the year..so, I just have to wait

[paulawriteslove]

The next big step is to figure out when me and my SO can see each other again. We know it probably won't be until November, December, or January (at the latest).

[dynomitegurl]

Our next step, my fiance and I, is to wait for the last portion of our visa. He needs an interview date scheduled and book his flight so hopefully he will be here in WA sometime in September. Again if all goes as planned our wedding date is November 27th! <3

Looking for apartments. Like I stated before, I'm suppose to be taking my immediate family. Some crap has changed though. Originally it was me, my mom, my brother, and my step-dad. Recently though my mom left my step-dad. Financially, this is a major improvement. The man really has no money, so he was nothing more that dead weight. Emotionally, my mom is still depressed but it was a dead-end marriage anyway. Besides, he cheated on her repeatedly (when I told Enrique he said "Who would fuck him!?" Made for a good lol). I had no relationship with him and neither did my brother. He never wanted a relationship with us, and our last father tried to kill us so we had some issues with trusting another man in the house. Now this means we can look for cheaper housing and not have to worry about INS @_@. Oh crap, I hope that wasn't enough to get him deported. I wouldn't wish Mexico on anyone.

I know, right? I always think "These are such clear, achievable things!" And then the other side of my brain goes ..."yeah, it'll take this many months for this, and this many months for thiiiis..." Faugh. ~.~

Yeah sometimes it all seems like it's a piece of cake but when I actually start to think about ALL the things we have to sort out before we get it all done it I feel like I can't get my head around it!

[folclor]

Right now...I'm just saving up for the December visit. We're hoping to make it more than a week (possibly 2 or 3). So I have my fingers crossed ^^;

[Swederica]

My next big step would be to propose to my SO.
But that won't happen until another 2 years, or 1.5 years i think.
During that time i have to get used to living in United States and getting used to living 5 miles away from my SO.
I still have alot of adjustment to be done which will take a couple of more weeks to get through.

And for those reading this and thinking "Ohmygosh! What is his problem?! Why are he complaining?! That's so easy!!"
I just have to say that it's not as easy as it looks. Mostly since i had to leave my family and friends to reduce the distance to 5 miles from 5000-6000 miles.
Therefor the only ones i have here is my girlfriend and her family, and i can't even live with her.

[freeskierpj]

Right now it's just waiting a couple more weeks until I get to go visit. I can't wait!!!
