I hope everyone had a great New Year.. we did. Not too much going on just working and the usual. Well, we decided that we were not going to have a BIG party for baby edgar, we decided to just have it a chuckie cheese's. does everyone remember that place?? i am actually looking forward to going. we tried to plan something big, but it ended up like we were going to speand way too much and it was like it was more for the adults. so daddy said lets just do something where kids can have fun. i am glad he brought it up because i did not have the heart too. it is his 1st son's birthday and he wanted to celebrate it really big, which i did too, but i could not see myself spending more than 400 on a 1 year old's birthday party when he would probably be asleep half the time or ill because we would have to hold him most of the time. So off to Chuckie Cheese tomorrow, when i went in to pay i saw a few games that i want to play.
well, for everyone who has been following or reading, everyone knows that i have been trying to decide what to do about daddy wanting to go to mexico in february. I have been willing to go- even though i have no clue what i am getting myself into. some told me to take a trip down there, which i would have liked to, but no vacation, i still do not have my passport, etc. well he is not going (we are not going) in february. he is not sure of when he wants to go because of the turck. Thank heavens that the truck is 2002!!! i have never loved a truck so much in my life. A special thanks to all my blog friends who let me know the rules of taking a truck to mexico! we would have gotten all the way down there and been denied and then I would have been coming home alone because I am sure they would have made him go. Thanks!!!! I am not that excited about going to mexico because he lives on a ranch. a freind of mine, who lives across the hall, was with his cousin for a while and then they went to mexico to live on the ranch and she left and went to her house, which was in another part of mexico. she tells me all the time - es un rancho cristal, no hay nada! i am not thinking of how bad it could be because for some reason i have the picture of an american ranch in my mind. you know desert and then i think of the ranch in mexico being like a bunch of huts no power , no stores, cooking over an open fire, no schools, just a poor place. so daddy tells me things about it and his cousin does also. they say they have power, schools , pharmacies and little stores. no police and no banks. No police??? Is it dangerous?? who knows, but hopefully in feb. i will be taking a trip and then the 1st post that i do when i get back will be titled- "Not No..... but hell no"
No, real talk now. there has to be some compromise. i understand that he wants to see his family and he thinks that mexico is the best place in the world, but i am from here and i have been here my whole life. if it was a city i would already be there.
I don't understand what am i suppose to do all day?? what if i get sick or something. what if the kids get sick or something. how am i going to take care of them and myself? i won't be working because we will be in the middle of no where. i understand he is torn also. i am sure it was not on his agenda to come to the US and have a baby with an american, who would not really want to leave the comfort of the US.
Is anyone in immigration process? How is that, is it hard or just a long wait?
Not being nosey to anyone, but I know why some of you other american ladies went to mexico, but is anyone trying to go back? Just asking to maybe picture how long is the immigration process.
Okay a totally new subject, but important- how can i add cute stuff to my blog? it looks so boring to me. I know i need some pics, but other stuff too. thanks

We both really want back in the US. We're going to try for the waiver of extreme hardship next fall. My husband has the ten year ban for having been in the US illegally. The process of first applying for his visa (as the spouse of an American) takes about a year until he gets the interview in Cd. Juarez. From there, he'll get a ten year ban if they know he was in the US illegally. The whole thing takes a lot of money! You can find information on the government website http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis. If you're thinking of moving down here, you'd probably benefit from visiting first. Take a hard look at what kind of changes you're willing to try to adjust to. You might be surprised to find you embrace some of them while others are incredibly difficult, or possibly even too much for you. Everyone is different, so you're the only one who can answer those questions, but I'm sure these other blogging ladies and I will be happy to tell you what we can. It's a hard situation to be in, and it helps to have support, even if just that of strangers we've never met!
ReplyDeleteHow did the birthday party go at Chuckie Cheese?
ReplyDeleteWe had fun, but there were alot of people! He did not realize that Chuckie Cheese had put the crown on him, he jumped we he turned around and saw a big mouse with his hands out toward him. He did not cry though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun!
