I'm On My Way To The U.K.

I've got my plane ticket and new luggage and I'm getting ready to go live with my husband in England. It has been a very long, expensive and difficult process but we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I have been living with my parents and then friends for a total of a year and seven months, which hasn't been easy for any of us. I have submitted my letter of resignation and presented my employer with a document and resources regarding UK taxes and being an independent contractor in the UK hoping that they will need my services after I move. I had to apply for my settlement visa, which was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. It took us months to get the proper paperwork together. For more details, see my post The Visa Application . I have been taking trips back and forth to my storage unit going through my things, throwing things away, giving boxes upon boxes to Goodwill. Today I had the ReStore pick up my furnitur...

Missing My Husband on a Cold Rainy Day

Today is a very chilly damp day. I've been trapped in the woods all day waiting to talk to my husband on Google Hangout and the strong winds somehow blew the power out to the house. It came on again pretty quick but then the internet was out. Thought it would kick in after a few minutes but no luck. I went upstairs and restarted the router, no go. For the next two hours it was off and on about 3 times. Can't use my data because there is no mobile service out here. So, I didn't get to talk to my husband on Father's Day and I didn't get to see him on our usual Sunday Hangout. I guess the combination of it being Father's Day and it being so cold and crappy out really made me miss Vernon. The thunder and lightening finally came and it just downpoured in sheets for about 5 minutes. All I wanted was to be cuddled up with him on the couch. I was so chilled, and he keeps me warm. I've been catching up on my shows, which I never have time to...

The Passport

Well, in order to get the process of this Visa thing going I need a passport. I had one, but I need to change it to my married name and it had just expired. All I had to do was fill out the DS-82, (make sure you fit the criteria first to use this form). I got this off the Travel.State.Gov website. Then I went to the post office and had them look over the form and take my picture. That was fun because the lady taking my picture was pretty short, she was holding the camera over her head and had to re-do my photo about three times. I also need two passport photos for my Visa application so I asked for extra copies and she was able to print those off too. There is an extra fee for the passport photos. It is not included in the passport fee. Same government, different departments. She cut the photo for me and stapled it to my application. I then had to mail my application, attached photo, original Marriage Certificate ...
