Day 104-Finished Cross Stitch

Catheryn has been working hard on this cross stitch. We wanted to share this talent with the blog. Love you so much Catheryn.

Day 103- Email from the Immigration Office

This is an email sent to us requesting additional evidence or information. This is good news in that they are working finally on our paperwork. The bad news is that we are missing some information or something. Hopefully it will be an easy fix and slight delay. We were really hoping for this email to say our visa paperwork has been approved. We will not give up and hang in there for as long as it takes.

Day 102-Marriage is a beautiful thing

We have been checking on the immigration websites for any changes to our status. It would be much better if there was a change occasionally where you could get a little hope. The problem is that the status may not change for two week intervals. So the last time there was a change it was only 2 days further along. So it took two weeks to do 2 days of paperwork. If the immigration could hire more staff perhaps we could get the paperwork done in a day and actually catch up. Also the passport to go over to the Philippines originally took 3 weeks.

Day 101-Chat Away

We are still chatting everyday and also emailing. We miss each other all the time but the time seems to go faster when we communicate as much as possible. Lately tagalog is becoming fun to learn and the hard part for me is learning how to pronounce the words. This picture is some my relatives helping me with tagalog.
