The feelings that come along with knowing your spouse will be able to come and be with you finally.......

        He finally got his visa ....your so excited and happy because after so long you know he will be with you soon. You rush to tell every one then what? 

        After the first few days reality will set in.You start to look at your life and analyze everything. You look at did you gain weight since the last time you were together? How have you aged? Is your health up to par? And your thoughts turn to how you can improve "yourself". So you start making all of the "Dr.s" appointments to the Dr, dentist, dermatologist, ect. You start crash dieting and exercising as if 2-3 weeks will really make a difference. You might even join a gym.

        Then you start to look at your about to become "our" home. You begin to notice the cobweb in the corner how dusty everything now seems. You start a cleaning binge, wanting to clean anything and everything. Washing clothes that are already clean but you worry it has been in the drawer or container for so long that it might not smell fresh. So then its clean clean clean. It way worse than cleaning "nesting" for a new baby. Nothing will seem to ever be clean enough. I have tried to reorganize and reorganize many rooms in my apartment. Its been non-stop chaos as I clean and re-clean.   

         Next comes your car. You go to great lengths to tune it up and make repairs to it. You start to detail clean it. Because in your mind you have all of these trips planned in your head.

         Then you start your buying. Buying things for him that you think he might "need". From clothes, shoes, to toiletries. And trying to find deals on activities on things you two can do. You start looking into the travel sites to find things you two can do within an hr or so from home. You start making list upon list of everything and anything you think they have never done. Its like the last two year (or however long you have been apart) breaks down to preparing the last few weeks before they arrive.

         I still have a few weeks but I already know right before he arrives exactly what I am going to. And I myself am driving myself crazy. I'm running around here like a chicken with my head cut off.  Right before he arrives I am going to get a manicure, pedicure, a facial, and a massage. Just because one I want to look good for him and two to pamper myself because I know I am stressing myself out.

        I'm excited so much but I am extremely nervous. I can't sleep much. Too much to do, not enough time and rushing to do it all. But hey you can relax once he is here. Until then I'm just making these changes one at a time. Getting my health together is top priority, then clean house , activities and then the car. But I'm (we) are also in the process of moving about a month he gets here. But after a month and we are finish moving everything will be bliss. Just go to take it one day at a time.
