HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Happy Hump Day!!!!!!!!!!!!

What paperwork etc do I need Jack to bring with him to continue our journey after he arrives here. I see Cheryl said he will need a birth certificate translated into English. Is there anything else?

I hope we get more visa news today.

Geez guys, sometimes I feel like I am talking to air. Do you all have me on ignore? lol

I have *everyone* on "ignore"

My suggestions would be: have any documentation that may come in handy later translated (diplomas, certifications, birth certificate, vaccinations, passport, DL, anything like that). Also bring any creature comforts from home that he may either not find or have a hard time finding here. We get shipments of spices & tea b/c they're just not the same here - even from the Int'l store.

Good luck!

One night I got what the pineapples meant and now I have forgotten.

My international friends wanted me to go to Seattle with them today and my Husband told me, "No, I don't want you driving with two guys alone."

So no Seattle for me but it's just as well because I have too many obligation on Thursday to miss them and I better get cracking on homework.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Oh hey! I just found out I got an extra $900 scholarship to be split between my last two semester of school!

He may be able to get an official birth certificate issued in English. Anyway, mine needed an international driver's license (it's how we got around him driving illegally ), obviously his passport, his birth certificate, and I think that's about it-- he will get his SS card and local IDs done and eventually a GC all here. Really helpful if he's a degree-holder or wanting to work in an area where he needs degrees-- he'll need his transcripts, diplomas, adn I suggest you get some english letters of reccomendation written in advance for him so he doesn't need to ask for them later from people.

Happy Wednesday!! Hope everyone enjoyed their day!!

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Yesterday was shot day for baby so last night was NOT FUN. Lets see if today is any better......

aww...poor thing i know what that's like, i remember my little niece....hope she's feeling better...

I LOVE this shirt and it's on sale but does anyone know what sort of material viscose is? Specifically is it heavy or light enough for spring/summer?

viscose is a very soft material, definitely great for summer and spring...

anything and everything you could think of! lol...and it's better to do it asap! make sure you have official translations of the marriage certificate, birth certificate, college transcripts, also, if he can get an official copy of his transcript, signed and sealed by the college (if he's considering being licensed here or going on with college, etc..), umm...what else? my husband and i are going through this right now...., oh! tell him to get "shihadet khibra" from any employers--that's basically a document telling his experience, and tell him to get recommendation letters from employers, professors (if applicable)--even if they're in arabic, you can have them translated here if he doesn't have time there.....uhh.....try to think of any little thing you'd ever need as an american....try to get his high school transcript also....my husband even got his elementary and middle school papers...lol....you'd be surprised what they ask for when you're getting your degree evaluated or something....these things will be impossible to get if he's not actually there..

if i think of anything else, i'll let you know, but i think i got pretty much everything...

just curious for future reference, if DOS says your visa has been printed does that mean it gets sent via DHL that week or does it sit around collecting dust for another month or so?

After we got the email back from the embassy that the visa had been issued it took 13 days to get to Jack.

do they walk it over or something?????? What on earth takes 13 days? And why don't they just hand it in person at the embassy??? (i know you probably don't know but I'm just venting)

This could be the "hold up"

lmaooooo!! that's hilarious!!!!! hahahhahaha

Ahhh married life.......we are making dawali and kusa mashi...hes preparing the kusa and I am in charge of 'masha-ing'

jah

haha--my sisters and i like to say "i'm in charge of iHshy-ing"--which means "stuff-ing" lol...i love iHshy-ing!!! haha

what is dawali and kusa? (is it like coffee? )

haha...dawali is the jordanian/palestinian word for stuffed grape leaves--in egyptian, we call is maHshi wara' aynab...and kusa--if i'm correct is zucchini...which can also be stuffed..

Yassmine, Butterball is sooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!

Thankee Im rather fond of him. He's learning to smile, that big open-mouthed gum-showing smile. I havent figured out the exact trigger yet, but when I do, you can be sure Ill be taking lots more piccies! Can you believe he's already 12 pounds?? Talk about butterball

I think Im in love with........ a ButterBall.

He's hard not to love, he's sooo squishy n stuff. I just love messing with his fat lil belly when IM changing his clothes. I swear I heard him laugh in his sleep today.

I recommend cake for everyone with pineapple on the side. YAYYYYYYY !

I think Ill try pineapple first on butterball when we're ready for baby food. I think it's appropriate, no?
