Move along, move along..

Well, Mr. Ian has booked his medical appointment for his visa.   Yay!   We are seeing some progress and are hopefully to the very close end of it all.

Over the weekend, there was another move, closer to the office, where he would be able to not spend an hour on the road driving each way.   I’ll miss hearing Jen and Hayden in the background, and the Bouncer stories.

Bouncer is too big to pack in baggage.    I’ll be looking forward to seeing them, and lots more people on our next trip to the UK.  🙂

Today was a slurry of frustrating technical issues, dropped Skype calls and not-so-good connection speeds.    We can still talk, so it’s not an entire loss.

Next: paperwork.   Lots of silly paperwork.   Then the interview.

Ever wait for a really good vacation?   Multiply that feeling by 10,000, and and it might be close to the “OMG, I can’t wait another minute” feeling involved in waiting for a visa process to complete.

On the plus side, at least we knew we were letting ourselves in for something like this process.  I know of a few people who’ve gotten married and then found out, when attempting to get into the US, that they have to have a spousal visa to do it.

Not pretty.

“Yes, you’ll need to go back to your country for at least 6 months, fill out your two pounds of paperwork, spend a few pesos, and wait.  And wait.  Get through a few hurdles and some frustration. Then, you can come back.”

Worth it in the end, though.  Totally worth it.

TLK is already planning on toboggan races.  “When Ian comes, and it snows, can we all go sledding?”

Sounds like a blast to me.   🙂
