We have been back now for a little over a month and I am LOVING it. I do miss the hot TN weather a little bit, but it has been pretty nice here.

We are still staying with our parents for the next 2 weeks and then we are moving into a house that my sister rents out. So it will be very nice to have our own space and get into our own routine again. There are tons of parks and running trails where we are moving so I can't wait to get active again. Oh, and having access to the internet again will be nice!!!

My job has been going pretty well. It is pretty physical work, especially since I really didn't do anything physical while living in the US, but I am enjoying it.

As far as the immigration goes, we had a little blip at the border since hubby didn't have any paperwork that said his charges had been dismissed so we got turned back and had to call the lawyer to get the paperwork emailed and we were good to go! We are now just waiting for all his background checks from the FBI and England to come back then we will be able to get his medical and send everything in....then the waiting begins.

I am so glad everything is going well for you.I was back in Canada last week as well, and it always reinforces to me how much I miss it when I come back 'home' here in the US. Good luck with the paperwork.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I'm glad you and the family are doing well! :) How are your parents enjoying having the little one around?

My parents are in heaven!! We are moving out of my parents place next weekend and my mom is a little bit sad. When Emma wakes up in the morning, I put her down in the kitchen and she runs across the room with her arms wide open to give Grandma a hug and kiss!! It makes my mom's day :luv:
