Christmas

Merry Christmas to all!!

I'm having a lovely Chelmsford Christmas with the in-laws. At last a traditional British Christmas. Turkey and gravy and veg and potatoes, mince pies with cream, Christmas crackers complete with horrible jokes and defective paper crowns...very fun. Now I am feeling quite, quite stuffed.

Now if only I could laze about on Boxing Day like we should do, but it's my own foolishness (and American forgetfulness about the extra British holiday) that's led us to all have to get up early tomorrow morning, so oh well.

Immigration Update

We had the immigration visa interview today. Everything we worried about went fine...instead we were blindsided by the unexpected. Our co-sponsor was deemed not rich enough. They said if we can find a new co-sponsor who is above the poverty line for their household size plus Ron, then everything else is approved...

If we can't find someone willing and who qualifies, then we will have to immigrate to Britain instead after all.

So now we're back full circle to where we were two years ago, looking for a co-sponsor. Sigh.
