It's been a long while since I've posted here on Vizzed, but I think it's about that time.. To make one of these and tell those who care a little bit about what has gone on in my life in like.. The last year, seeing as how I haven't been on here much.
In the last year, I have moved from Canada to the States, although when I left Canada.. I didn't know I was coming to stay, but I'll get into that in just a second. I came here last year a little before thanksgiving, so I've been here in South Carolina nearly a year now. As for the reason I stayed here, well that's where things started to get a little complicated, in a way. My mother in law had offered to pay for my immigration into the states, so we took then to do it because it costs about 10 grand in total with a lawyer. Immigrating into the states is hard, not having a lawyer.. Was not an option, he made things sooooo much easier, if it wasn't for the lawyer me and my husband have... we would have never reached this point that quick.
After getting the lawyer he explained that it would just be easier for me to stay, and work on the process then to leave. Since we were doing it then, we dove right into the process. After the entire almost year long process of immigrating, I am happy to say that my immigration has been approved and now I'm a lawful permanent resident here in the States. ^-^ So yayyyy! I'm so glad to be nearly done with this process, we are currently waiting for my permanent resident card in the mail.. Once I get that, I'll be able to go get a SSN and so forth, and begin to create my life here with my husband, Ian.
It's been a long tiring tense stressful year going through the immigration process to get into the States, and I'm so glad it's over.. Or over for the most part I should say. In two years, there is a little something else.. But nothing that can't be dealt with easily when the time comes.
Oh! My mother also came to see me here in S.C. Her first time ever since being a little kid, she loved it. We took her to the zoo, myrtle beach, not to mention we just got to see each other. Me and my mother are very close, she's 41 with congestive heart failure and so on, so as you can imagine.. I've been worried about her, and not seeing her for nearly a year.. Didn't help with all the stress I was already dealing with. But we got to see each other, and spend like two weeks together.. It was great!
My older brother got his girlfriend pregnant right before I left to come to visit Ian, but I didn't know I would be staying here.. And as you can imagine, she'd had the baby by now.. His name is Ryker, and he is my first nephew.. I'm his only aunt, and I haven't even got to meet him yet.. He's getting so big already, I guess I'll just have to deal with the fact their won't be pictures of me holding him as a baby.. As much as it sucks, there's not much I can do about it.
I can honestly say by now, I miss home.. I miss my family, and I miss my job.. But this had to happen sooner or later right? Although as soon as I do get the chance, I'm going back home to visit my family.. Even though my brother has gone Out West(to Alberta), and will be flying his girlfriend and Ryker out there, in four days.. So I won't get to see any of them, but at least I'll get to see the rest of my family, and my kitties! Who I miss terribly, by the way!
So other then alllll of that, I've gotten a kitten! Her name is Blair as she is just the cutest thing <3

I don't remember if I put this here when it happened, but I got my first tattoo! Can't wait to get another one :3
I think this pretty much sums up all the important stuff that has happened in the last year of my life.. I would bother with summons.. But I'm not really sure anyone cares enough to read all of that, but if anyone does, thanks! owo
