First, Happy New Year Everyone!

Katya and I got Married on the 28th of December.  I knew I was in love with her, but she far exceeds any expectations I had of Her.  She is a wonderful woman, and we are truly in love!  We went to the SSN Office, got some paperwork filed, although I have not received anything back from them on that  , Guess I need to follow up with them on that. Tax time is coming you know!  Guess now we need to get an AOS, and other stuff. EAD and such.  But, I just wanted to say hello to everyone, and let everyone know things are going good.  Oh, and if you live between charleston SC, and Savannah, please say HI, we would love to get together some time!

OH, and if someone can provide a prioritized 123 list of what to do next, that would be great!  If there is already a list out there, send the link!  Thanks much, and happy new year to you and yours!
