UPDATE

Ok so it has been a few days....so much has gone on...Well for starters our homestudy is finally complete. Before I jump the gun here..there are some minor changes that need to be made but otherwise it is complete. Now we can send it to INS and hopefully get approval in 6-8 weeeks. It is my understanding that it is at that point that we can get a referral. So once I get the copy of the homestudy with the other pile of documents that need to go to the secretary of state for approval. Now the issue comes to play is whether we should wait to accept a referral until more of our dosseir is complete. This is the part where the stupid finger prints become an issue. I am reviewing our paperwork and realize that we still need to get witness affidavits done and the FBI check at which point we can send our papers to be state certified. I am learning that these documents need to be state certified and then sent to the GuatemalaConsulate before they can be sent down to Guatemala. Whoosh what a handfull.

Poor Brad, I sent him to get our medical letters redone (i.e., notary date was not the same as the date of the letter) see what I mean about the details...) this morning and low and behold the office was not open. I can assure you that he was not laughing when he called me and asked me to repeat our Mantra...It's a journey not a race....over and over again.

Otherwise things have been good. Looking for a new car as my lease is up. What is it with these slimy car dealers. I just want to go home and shower after I deal with them. Welll that is if they actually listen to you not your husband. I was so mad we went to the Lexus delearship and the guy completely blows me off. Only talking to Brad. Brad is there telling him well my wife , Dennise who is here likes blah blah blah. I walked off and told Brad that I did not want to buy a car from there. Problem is that is the only Lexus delearship in town. What are you going to do???
