Off topic-

 

Ugh... I just came back from dropping my daughter off from school..It's her first day and Im dealing with mixed emotions. She cried (mommy's girl) and I had to fight my tears and the urge to pick her up n take her back home with me...but half hour after I called and the teacher told me she's doing great

 

When you need that shoulder to lean on but that shoulder is thousands of miles away so you have to settle for a digital shoulder....Anywho!!!.

 

Have a good day guys, enjoy the holiday. I guess its a holiday for us all, cuz if they're off, we're off,so no news, lol.

Awww, first day of school 😍 Yep, it's not an uncommon thing that moms feel sadder about it than the kids themselves. Kids cry for five minutes, then everything is so exciting and there's so many new things and people to discover, that there's no time to cry. I remember I cried a lot back then, in the Neolithic

 

About the no news thing today... Actually my package was delivered this morning, which kind of surprised me because I thought, since the Embassy is closed for the holiday, they couldn't go in to leave mail. I hope it arrives to the right desk tomorrow morning

Good Luck to you!!!

Hope it's really fast and just one day!  That would be sweet

Stormy over Ph today, hope you don't have to wait outside in the rain.

Tell us how it goes, Ann will be there in a week doing same thing   (and YES  that place is crazy expensive and if you get a consult, its another 1000php so let's cross our fingers)

Good luck to you too, but specially to your fiancée

Any news on when are you having the interview?

 

@AnJ Co Actually I wouldn't say Saint Luke is expensive, specially considering vaccines are included. It's 313€ here, which with today's exchange rate means $373, plus around $20 extra minimum for each additional vaccine required  And I think it's even more expensive I'm other countries... My poor wallet

Well look at that. Lol. 

My medical will cost me $230 usd and my daughter's would cost $60usd, translated in TT dollars its around $1,500 for me and $400 for her... As for added vaccines for me that's the mystery. Luckily my LO is up to date, so im mot worried bout any extras anyway, yet prepared.

 

@asaeljethro Best of luck to ya!!

Thank you Jeni, Monica doesn't get on here much.  Happy Birthday to Aira, hope she had a great party.  I look forward to being able to share many future Birthday's with Monica.

 

 

Just send her our greetings though. Hope it somehow makes her feel better. Thanks for the greetings, yes she had a great party. With all the stress of this waiting that is something good to think about. That after all of this we can finally spend more birthdays and more occasions with our beloved in the future 😊

Good luck! 

 

Give us an update I would like to know what I am going to get thru soon. @AnJ Co is right I've read in the FB page where I joined that sometimes when you get there early and among the first you can have the medical in one day. So lots of luck for your fiance.

Happy Sunday morning to all.  @Sallysyrup, the waiting is hard, but it will all be worth it. 

 

Today/Yesterday is/was Monica's Birthday.  I just wish that I could be with her.  That makes it hard, that and the length of time it has been since we saw each other.

Happy Birthday to Monica ! ... send our congratulations and the best wishes !

 I know what you mean, 144 days of waiting and still haven't heard anything. Hopefully we hear something this week, then everything will go by a lot faster and we'll be able to finally be with our loved ones
