I'm Freakin

Hey Kids.  So today I was woken up at 4 am by the phone.  Ann was calling to say that there was something wrong with her throat and could we come over immediately.  She hasn't been doing great lately so we have been going over there pretty much every day to help her out.  So I am exhausted from being up that early.  I had a little cat nap around 9.  Plus I have had a headache since yesterday.

Ann wanted to get out of the house this afternoon so she and I took off to the movies while the parents watched Colin boy.  So I just got home from that a little while ago.  I was just about to lay down in bed when my phone beeped to inform me of an email.  Holy crap it's from the US government.

So long story short there were two things that they needed from us.  One of them being that there is a form we have to fill out online and submit before an interview can be scheduled.  So no big deal I looked at the form and it is just basic info on Mark.  Just waiting for him to give me his passport number so I can fill it out.

The other thing is makin me freak a bit.  It said that our affidavit of support (the monetary side of things) didn't meet the poverty guidelines.  Meaning our income has to be over a certain amount.  But I looked at the guidelines, and Mark's salary is about twice the minimum income needed.  So I think the problem with it is from us not currently living in the same place, which was also a requirement.  But the letter just said that that would be decided during our interview. 

So I don't know it just has me freaked that there was something wrong with it.  I'm sure that in the interview Mark and I can easily prove our relationship and any issue regarding our finances.  I don't know, now it just has me worried.  So please please keep praying for this to all work out.

Indiana Update

This has certainly been an interesting day thus far.  Mark and I got everything organized for the last of his immigration paperwork and it is officially in the mail.  So please pray pray pray that it all goes through is accepted and my wonderful husband can join me in the US.

I had to go into the bank to put some money into my account so that I could pay for that immigration.  While there the bank manger realized that she had left a message for me at home wanting to set up a time for an interview.  So I have an interview tomorrow for a job at the bank!!

Shortly after that, mom came with me to the store to look for a new shirt to wear to my interview tomorrow.  Then we stopped at the frozen yogurt place "Yo-Amazing".  It is fairly new to town, and was opened by Courtney Crozier who was on The Biggest Loser a few seasons ago.  So I had been wanting to try it for awhile, and it was delicious.

While Mom and I were at the Yogurt place my Dad called.  To make a very long story short he got some test results back and has skin cancer.  It however doesn't sound like it is very serious at all, which is good.  Two of his siblings have had the same issue with skin cancer, and were fine.  Actually think they caught my dad's sooner than his siblings.

So that is it for now.  I do need a favor from you kids to please send up a prayer about each of these 3 things.  Pray Marks immigration is approved, pray I get this job, and pray that my dad will be fine.

Fail

Hey kids.  I have know for several days now that I didn't get that teaching job.  It totally bummed me out to think that I couldn't even get hired at a crappy school in the ghetto...so who would want me in a good school?  I definitely had to deal with those  kinds of thoughts for the past several days.  But things have felt better since I've been home.

When I went to the bank to open an account I was chatting with the lady and she said they were hiring.  So I might just try to get a job as a bank teller.  She introduced me to the manager and said they would try to get in touch with me this week to set up an interview.  So yeah that should be good.

Many of you may know that I got a cell phone today.  I went all out and got an iphone.  Now I just need to start working so I don't feel so bad buying something so expensive.  Mark wouldn't care, but sometimes it just bugs me that I am spending money and not working.  Will be signing on to substitute tomorrow.

So I guess that is it for now friends. 

The man in the moon works his magic

Hi Friends.  I am writing to you from a very pinkalicious room at my in-laws.  Things have been totally crazy lately getting all our stuff moved out of the condo, cancelling bills, getting our address changed and what not.  Mark and I had to go to the lawyers office and sign all the paperwork for the condo.  Yeah Canada is totally weird...For all real estate you have to get a lawyer to do all the paperwork and stuff.  So we go to the lawyers, sign all the papers.  Then the papers get sent to the buyers lawyer, and the buyer signs all the paperwork, then it is official.  So in our case, our buyer will sign it all tomorrow, and I get to go the the lawyers and pick up our check!

Mark and his brother our going to the condo to get the last of our furniture out of it.

Tonight I will be attending a girls night out.  This is my second official girls night out in the two years I have been in Canada.  The first one was for my birthday and was awkward as all get out.  Hopefully this one (which is a goodbye for me) will not be so terrible.  Now that I know the people a little bit better.  After that shin-dig I am going to the condo to vacuum and clean things up and officially be rid of it.

Right now I am feeling good because I have finally taken care of all of those random little things you gotta do when moving.  Making sure all of our bills are closed out and what not.  Had to make an appointment about the car insurance, called the parentals to get the plans straight with them about when they are coming to get me.  Saturday Dad gets me, then we go back to Detroit till either Sunday or Monday morning.  Then home to Valpo!!!  So excited!  I have plans to set up a bank account as soon and I am back. Following that, I am getting a phone.  So for those of you who are excited for me to have a cell phone again, I expect to get it by Tuesday or Wednesday next week!  WOOHOO!

FYI This song is wonderful and I making me happy.  I am thinking it is gonna be my feel good song for the summer.

No Clue

So I had my phone interview this morning.  I have absolutely no idea how it went.  I definitely sweat out my shirt.  As she was asking me questions I kept thinking 'Oh my goodness I sound like such an idiot'.

I mean I tried to answer the questions honestly and the best I could, but I just felt like I was coming off like a moron.  I have absolutely no idea how it went.  Will find out next week if they liked me.  I just feel strange.  I felt like I was trying so hard and I just don't know how it went over.  

I just want a job so bad.  You know?  Like it just feels desperate.  I just don't know.  Makes me nervous.  It all just made me feel really nervous.  I need to just forget about it and let God take me where he wants.

The end...I am going to go get some subway.

OH!  Just to let you know today is also going to be our last night in our condo.  Everything is being moved out tomorrow.  So yeah.
