one year anniversary

today is the one year anniversary of aaron receiving his conditional permanent residency. in 8 months we get to start the process of gathering the monthly photographs (20 in all) showing our wedded bliss, copying our joint tax return and financial documents, requesting letters from friends who can vouch for our marriage, filing grand amounts of paperwork, paying sizeable fees, and all that fun stuff to request the conditional status be removed so he can stay! and then a few years after that we can do it all over again to establish citizenship. what fun.

i've thought of dressing up as andie macdowell and gerard depardieu a la the movie green card for halloween. somehow i don't think sending the uscis pictures of that would be smiled upon. best not to use humor in those situations.

it really is too bad that aaron isn't mexican. the two of you could just drive to arizona and then get a free trip to mexico, courtesy of the arizona/federal government. right now all you'd have to look forward to is a long flight to colder climates.

bummer.

oh, i'm not leaving america. we've already discussed this. if we were to go somewhere i think we'd start over in a warm vacation destination or some cool place in europe. just not greece...
