Fingerprints

I received the instructions today from Immigration for my mother and I to go and get fingerprinted.  We have to go on a Tuesday or Thursday between 8 AM and 11AM.  This week is out because I will be traveling, next week is out because I am having my Wisdom Teeth taken out on Tuesday and Thursday is Thanksgiving, so we will have to go the following week.  We have 84 days to get them done, so we are ok.

This weekend has been exhausting.  I went to the Renaissance Festival yesterday and let me just say, I will not be going back for a really long time.  My advise to anyone planning to go the last 2 weekends is get there early and leave early.  We waited over 2 hours in the parking lot trying to get out.  We would have waited at least another hour if our wonderful driver (go Dave) decided to find another route.  When I woke up Sunday I was super tired.  I guess all of the waiting wore me out.

Now I am watching the Amazing Race watching the teams travel the world and wondering when I will be going to Kazakhstan.

I hope you all are doing well out there.  Let me hear from you.

I finally have something to say...

After what seemed like an eternal delay, I finally received the official Home Study today.  I will be overnighting it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Office tomorrow.  I then wait a few weeks and the work really begins.  I will have to gather a ton of information for the dossier, have it notarized, then send to the Secretary of State for Texas to be apostille.  This means that the Secretary of State will verify that everything I am reporting is accurate.

So things are moving along.  Keep posted!
