A Poem From Jessica

I give you warm hugs from a few miles away to make you feel better through stressful times. And when it's stormy and I'm out side always know that I'm safe with an angel over our heads making sure we are safe. I know you may think this is weird but heres to hearts filled with love from your two favorite daughters.

Had a Really Fun Camping Trip!

Loved this spot. It reminded me of the place we used to go camping at almost every summer when I was a kid. Nice private spots. The outhouse was cleaner and well lit and not in the woods. The water was from a spiget and not a pump. But we all really enjoyed this place and plan to go back again next year. Here are some photos:

33 Months

and not really counting. By my non-scientific calculation, I am set to get a referral in November, 2011. That would be 5 years from my Log-In Date. That's another 2 years. Jessica would be in 7th grade, and Anna would be in 5th grade. I want to wait it out, I really do. I believe in miracles! But right now I don't have the funds to renew my I-171H, which I have to do in the next 1.5 months, and am debating letting it expire and going under the new I-800. If anyone has a money tree growing in their back yard that they can share the crop from, or has strong feelings as to why I should do everything in my power not to let it expire, I think I have no other choice. The summer daycare/camp expenses have gotten the better of me. The good thing with that is, summer is almost over (the girls start school next week on Tuesday) and the girls are needing less daycare now.
