Coming to a theatre near you!

   I think I'm going to start pitching our story to all the major production companies. I'm pretty sure our story would make for a great movie. I can see it now! Kate Winslet would play myself, of course. Now, I know what you're thinking. Gisele Bundchen suits me much better. I know, I know. But I don't want to seem too full of myself! And, Gary, who would play Gary?

Denied...do not pass go...

Day #227-
   I was really hoping that this part of our Immigration journey, the NVC stage, would be quick and seamless. It has, unfortunately, been quite the opposite. First, they couldn't locate our petition for over a month. Nothing was done until we got Lois Capps involved. Now, we're being told and reading conflicting information. PLUS our request for expedite was denied. Apparently, we don't meet their criteria for an expedite. We weren't given a reason - just a denial.

One step closer

   This blog is looonnnggg overdue! I apologize for the delay. So much has happened over the past week; I've just been so busy. I started the certificate program for Addiction Treatment just last week. Its a summer course, so its all jammed into eight weeks. I love the class and the Professor. It's nice to have a distraction from whats been going on, as far as Immigration is concerned. So lets get down to the nitty gritty!

Fired up

Day # 215 -
   I've been posting on www.visajourney.com and www.immigrate2us.org about our lost petitions and have been given been told something very infuriating news. Many, MANY people on there are posting about their petitions being lost, as well.

Driven to insanity

Day #213 -
   Hello. I've been out of touch recently, in more ways than just this blog! I am starting a class called Crisis Intervention next Monday. This is a step towards receiving my certificate in addiction treatment. Its going to be a lot of work, but I'm looking forward to it. The only downfall is the timing.

Coping with loss

Day #200 -

   I've had a few great losses over the past few months. One being the physical presence of my husband, unless you count seeing him on skype as physical! I've lost the opportunity to give him a hug or kiss at any given time. The opportunity to hold his hand, to cuddle with him. I haven't had that in nearly seven months and it becomes increasingly difficult as each day passes.    

The next step

Day # 198 -
   This will be a quick, little update, as I didn't sleep a wink last night. And Chloe will be waking up from her nap at any moment.
