Some camping recipes to enjoy:

Breakfast Burritos:

10-14 eggs (depending on how man people you have to feed)

Flour tortillas,

shredded cheddar or jack cheese,

salsa

Brown sausage and drain fat. Beat eggs in a bowl and add to sausage. Cook eggs through. Heat tortillas over the flame and fill to your liking!
We also make french toast, pancakes (Biscuit in the plastic container - just add water and bacon.

Lunch/DinnerTaco Salad:

1 lb. ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning

1 small or medium can of Ranch Style Beans

Fritos, Doritos or other

corn chipshredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, salsa,…

Brown ground beef and drain fat. Add taco seasoning and beans; heat through. Serve over chips and garnish with everything else.

Foil Dinners:(per person)1 boneless skinless chicken breast2 slices yellow or red onionsliced assorted vegetables (We like fresh green beans, mushrooms, zucchini, and potatoes.)
You can put all ingredients in one large foil pouch, or everyone can make their own in small pouches.

Season meat and veggies. Layer everything in the foil pouch, starting and ending with the onions. (The onions keep the other food from sticking to the foil and from getting charred if the coals are too hot. Just tell the kids they don’t have to eat them.) Add a little butter to the pouch and fold up to seal. Place in hot coals for about 20-25 or until the chicken is cooked through.

• Buy an engagement ring, usually he would want you to choice the ring in any price you like (if he can afford).



• If you decide for an engagement party in a beach and park resort and not in your hometown or city, prepare for the transfortation of your family and friends who wanted to come.



• Be sure to identify that number of persons who wanted to come to estimate the expenses for entrance fee, transfortations, foods and etc.



• Meet the resort manager / resort in charge to discuss the party and menu and to agree on the price.



• Ask your close friends, relatives to prepare a small program during that day. (Opening prayer, presentations, short talks from parents, friends and relatives, giving of ring and the emcee).



• Lastly, don't forget to take pictures as many as you can.
  

How was your engagement?

Let's Meet

One of the basic requirements of filing a Fiancé Visa (K-1) on behalf of your fiancé is that you both have met in person within the past two years.

During his/her visit be sure to have photos together as many as you can. For instance, make the pictures cheek to cheek, with your arms around each other, and look like you are having a good time. Take also pictures together with your family, friends and colleagues. Have pictures in different seasons. Take note of the dates, place and who are with you or what occasions are the photos taken or take pictures with the date imprinted in the photos. Making a caption at the back of the photo is a way or use your creative skills for giving a caption in you photos. You may show 6 or more photos if you like but be sure to have good photos together with your fiance/fiancee.
How was his/her first visit?

Proof of Communication

When applying for K1 visa, it is essential to keep all proof of communications between you and or fiancee or his/her family. Some example of proof of communication are the following:
letters
cards
printed chat logs/archives
emails
telephone bills showing your telephone/mobile number
Internet call history (skype, YM, MSN, etc)
It is not nessary to print all the proof of communication day by day or every time you have communication. Postal mails should be kept in preparation for the interview.
Important note to remember: Do not assume that the name you used in all your letters or emails are your married name, use your single status name.

The Profiles

If you met him/her in a dating website, what are your profiles?

His Profile

I am a good dancer. I like being on small boats for fun. I am very active. I go to bed at 8:30pm and get up at 5am every day. I like a lot of quite time at home. I have a strong spiritual practice and can join my wife in any religion. I need a wife to keep our home clean and neat, cook a variety of foods well and meet our basic needs for love. I am NOT good at organizing things. I do not have great social skills. I am strictly a one woman man. I want to stay married till death do us part. It is important to me that my wife be pleasant looking to me. I like a ready natural smile. I like a slim person. I like a person who is a one man woman. I like a woman who can enjoy time on her own with her own female friends and activities. I live on the Island of Kaua’i in Hawai’i where there is a nice Filipino community. I am financially stable with a pension that continues for both me and my wife. I do NOT want to have or live with children. I need a woman who is spiritual or religious to a mild or moderate amount. The ages of mid thirties and up might be good for my wife. A younger person might be OK if she was very sure about NOT wanting children. I have excellent health and want the same in my wife. Being good spouses to each other may help us to stay that way!

How did you met?

How did you meet him/her?


Internet (online games, online dating site, chat rooms, childhood sweetheart, somethere in your place, in another country, at work, introduce by relatives, friends, former classmate, etc...)
Bar/LoungeYour typical, "We saw each other from across the room...."


We met on Yahoo Personals. I came across his profile and Imed him for the heck of it....little did I know that it would be the best risk I ever took. We chatted for 3 weeks...met at the different starbucks (he finally came over to the right one) on the first date...he moved 120 miles away and changed jobs to be with me. and now we're getting married...and he's graduating with his BA in Political Science six months later. I made him go to school when we met 2-1/2 years ago and he's been doing school full time and working full time ever since.I love my sweetie!


Me and Jared met on a site called HotorNot! It's a site where you post your pic, and people rate it. You also have a chance to request to talk to that person, if they approve of you. Well, I guess we both thought each other was "HOT" so more than 2 years later, the rest is history.
We met in high school. A chemistry class, actually. (I almost never tell people that, they make so many bad jokes!). He was the only boy who didn't talk to me. (I was a little self centered then!)
