Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 22)

[NatPatBen 3]

I want to see the bull picture! Guess I'll wait until I get home in an hour +.

Nah, she is feeling crummy. Her tonsils are HUGE... and she is sneezing like crazy. But she is taking after me. I had my tonsils out at 27... she doesnt get strep, just sore throats and swollen tonsils. she slept all morning.

I had mine removed at 25. Solved a lot of sore throat (tonsil) issues. Are you looking to remove Tierra's soon?

Ells, I love the soccer idea. I'm about to look right now to see where there is a league near us. Steven would LOVE that.

OMG! That's awesome! I love other countries for stuff like that. They are so creative in how they solve problems! LOL!!

Reminds me of my first trip anywhere & landing in Morocco. We spent our layover exploring Casablanca & it was the first time I'd ever seen a family of FOUR on a moped! Dad, Mom, 1 kid gripping tight in back & one in front of Dad....who needs a car?

I have seen some bizarre things - this one cracked me up though - One of my first trips to Negril, we were walking along the beach road at night - we heard an awful noise that we couldn't figure out - and around the curve comes a car, with a goat tied to the roof, screaming at the top of it's lungs. I just looked at my friend, and said - should we follow? Curried goat for dinner!

Poor goaty! Curry was my JA goat's name though.

That also reminds me of the bus ride from Senegal to Mali....same way, goats were tied to the roof with the rest of the cargo. They definitely were not too happy about it....some bawled & others were just resigned to their fate. LOL

hey yardies

so much to read and catch up on

thanks for the well wishes

for a minute i wasn't even sure if we were approved

if it wasn't for the fact that he told us go pay dhl i probably wouldn't have known, lol

we were interviewed by a man, got in at 7:15 left about 9 am

he asked alot of questions but we handled ourselves well and he was quite polite

[BunzTheMagicSnail 2]

lmao @ the goats

while i wouldn't keep one as a pet, i think goats are so cool

they're very intelligent animals

[IrieCat 2]

Thats a no on the tonsils Nat... no health insurance. As soon as we get some though... I have a "to do" list!

Sounds like the man Den and I had at our interview! So happy for you and your hubby. Now you can enjoy your time together since you have the interview behind you.

Hey Folks! Just checking in---it's been a LONG time!! Congratulations to Bunz on the approval and to MsSheka on your case moving along--it soon come girl! Quick update: Gregory and I are still adjusting to our new way of life together. (I've decided to say "we're" adjusting instead of "his" adjustment cause it's been trying for both of us). We've had a lot of good times, and we continue to have our days, but overall things continue to go better than I had hoped for. What's definitely started to help now is the fact that he is finding stuff to do on his own. A couple of months ago I signed him up for a competitive soccer league because he LOVES to play and misses doing so. Well, he was picked up by a team and their first practice was last weekend! He was like a kid in a candy store--grinning like a cheshire cat from ear to ear! What's even better is that the coach told him that he was the best player on the team, and then proceeded to send out a mass email to the team members saying this very thing and how far my husband and the rest of the team will be able to go in the league this year! Not that he needs this add'l stroking of the ego, but it was good for him and I was proud). So he's doing that on weekends, and games will begin at the end of Feb. He's already enrolled in the GED program at the community college, and is in class 4 days a week. He's managed to navigate the bus system to some degree by himself, which has also been helpful and I think makes him feel more independent. Still not working (but filling out tons of applications), but lo and behold a few minutes ago a message was left on the phone from a manager at PetSmart asking him to call to set up an interview for next week!!!! We just filled that application out last nite, and while it is not the "perfect" job, it's something to hopefully get him started and build up his resume here in the states!! I hope that something comes through soon, because it has definitely been tough. Keep us in your prayers!

Awesome MrsPalmer! Glad to hear you all are still adjusting! You just put a bug in my ear about something I could do so Den can be active and social with maybe some sports!

Well, ladies, I am about to start the ball rolling on something I should've probably done long ago.

I don't blame you one bit...#######? Play time over...

[DedicatedWife 4]

AMQUEEN, They will put whoever you included on the application on the interview letter cause if you guys wanted she can get a K2, but if not just tell them at the interview she will not be traveling with him.

Great! Thank u!!

Hey everyone...Long time no "write to"... ...I see a lot of new names wow...this forum just keep growing and growing...

As most of you know i had my baby girl Hailey...she is a little over 3mths now...she is a gem if i do say so myself... ...doesn't cry much and sleeps through the night (starting at 2mos)...she laughs a lot and is always smiling...I'm going to post a pic on my facebook...haven't been on that either...but will post a pic there for ya'll to see her...

Philly i saw your message on facebook via my cell phone but my cell phone is acting up so couldn't reply...my mom has a sister who is still in Haiti with her 3 kids...she is ok but they are sleeping on the streets because they are too scared to sleep in their house since they are still having tremors...my mom wants to try to get her kids over here...so she wanted me to see if there is anything out there that will allow family members of american citizens for urgent visas for loved ones in haiti...let me know if you know anything about that...

Adjustment update: Me and hubby are still going strong...he is still working at his job and still working on my nerve...sometimes...but all in all we are happy...he is planning to go to JA in April cause his brother in Canada is throwing a party in JA and wants him to come down with him...He wants to bring the baby but not sure if i feel comfortable yet with him traveling down there by himself with her...especially since he is going to do a lot of running around...his mom could watch her...but still...to me she is still too young...

hello missed you >.cant wait to see the baby
