update

well, since I haven't updated in months, it's about time I do. I'm currently practicing staying up late and trying to get my schedule accommodated to my next weeks schedule as I am working my first week of overnights at Walgreens. Tuesday night I start 1 of 7 days in a row of the graveyard shift. should be fun. so I'm staying up late and sleeping in for these few days off before.

update on Fiance Visa process: the first step FINALLY got approved, after 5.5 months of wondering what was taking so darn long. Now the National Visa Center has our case and will eventually, hopefully soon within weeks and not a month, send it on over to the US Embassy in Madrid, Spain, where Marin awaits, trying to be patient. But can you blame him...while his lovely fiancee is in MN!? I'm also impatient, but just have to TRUST that the timing of this all IS in God's hands! so, we pray for quicker processing and that when his interview day comes that he will pass with flying colors. where did that saying come from anyways?

wedding stuff: bought the final of 3 matrons of honor dresses today. got the last one for 35 bucks!! whoo hoo! momma Roehl is happy! bought a very sexy red dress at my old place of work, the Limited today. Think I'll wear it for the rehearsal dinner! also got some shoes for the big day and they will be good unless I find others that are better. which I'm kinda hoping to find some with just a slight smaller heel, for more comfort and for Marin to be taller by a better amount.

started working on the slideshow tonight. i really wish I had an iMac, or MacBookPro or PowerMac. the audio coming out of FCP is not sounding good at all on my old and hopefully not dying Powerbook G4! and i found out yesterday that Apple requires a minimum of like 16 hours/week to work there, so my hopes of getting a part time like twice a month job for the discount isn't going to happen! :(

that's about it for now. if you read this post all the way to here, thanks, friend.

please keep Marin and I in your prayers as we wait for our case to process and are going on 4+ months apart. :(

A New Year!

I've been quite busy in the freezing north. I found a background that will take me through various months so I don't have to keep feeling the pressure of updating it. I don't even know if anyone reads this, I guess there are better ways to keep in touch these days, which is fine. Besides looking for jobs and working a lot at Walgreens since I've been home, I haven't had anything to exciting. And now that I finally was offered a full time job that will pay decently (Assistant Manager at Walgreens, somewhere in the S/SW Suburbs of the TC) I can focus on other things. Like....honing my skills (or learning) how to keep up with media stuff. I hope to self teach website creation and maintenance. I have to apartment search. Lots of things. oh, and planning a wedding!! :) Just waiting for USCIS to get off their butts and approve my petition and give Marin a date for an interview! What the heck. Why is it taking so long?! My pobrecito guapo fiance is sad and wants to be with me! That's it for now.
