Waiting to hear from Hubby about his DHL pickup and I get a text message with a picture of his VISA!!! I am soo excited when He calls and I can hear the happiness in his voice. We freaking did it!!!! So, Hubby is off to the border to get it all stamped and ready to go!! Sent me a video of it all stamped and official..I'm so happy and proud for him..I can't believe we did it!!

Saturday Feb 27th, 2010

I have been frantic about checking DHL all freaking day and still nothing..omygog waiting sucks ass...
Finally at 4:45 my time IT'S READY FOR PICKUP!!!!! So, Hubby is in Juarez at his Tia's so I send 4 text messages to their phones saying it's ready, get your butts there to pick up and I was under the immpression they were open til 6:00 pm. BIG WRONG!!! asswipes closed at 2, so by time they got there it was too late. I felt like the world's biggest ass...Now Hubby has to wait for Monday. Dammitcrap.

Friday Feb 26th, 2010

Still checking DHL like a retard..can't help myself....
I called the 202# this morning and she said no news.....UGH...some people believe no news is good news, so we will see....
OMYFUCKING GOD!!!!! I called the 202# at 4:30pm and he was APPROVED!!! I was screaming at the poor woman whose name was DANA(I love you Dana..lol) I kept saying are you sure? Are you sure? And she said yes, 100% sure his waiver was approved...I wanted to hug the poor woman...Must be a difficult job though, having to give people bad news...
So, I call Hubby crying and tell him the news and he can't believe it. He tells me to keeep it quiet until he sees it for sure from DHL..
Ummm...he must not know me too well..lol..I have the world's bibbest mouth, so I call his whole freaking family!!!!!

Thursday Feb 25th

Still logging into DHL a trillion times and still nothing...sheeesh...I have the 202# everyone posted, so I'm trying....
Well that got me in a pissy mood...lady said nothing was in the computer yet, only his December appt..keep trying she said because the system keeps updating!
Tried again just before they closed and still nothing..boohoo..can't function correctly, I'm soooo moody!

Wednesday Feb 24th later that day...

He made it thru his waiver appt..!!! Yay!! Now we just wait for an answer..ugh..have I told you how impatient I am...I am sooo logging into the DHL website every 10 minutes...lol

Wednesday Feb 24th, 2010

Today at 8:00 am is his appointment..I woke up anxious as heck...I have the weirdest stomache too...I just can't stop my mind from racing!!!!

Mi Esposo Estupido

So, wednesday is his I-601 interview in Juarez. He is more than half a day away on a ranch called Aqua Zarca in the state of Zacatecas. He left this morning(2/22) with his Mom and Uncle by bus. He informs me just a day or so ago, that he is NOT packing all his stuff in case he is granted a Visa. The RETARD, is planning on going all the way back to Mommy's house to pack and come all the way back again....Seriously, where the F*(&K is his brain??? WHY would he chance it? Why wouldn't he be prepared and think positive? Is this the same man who was bawling his little eyes out a month ago saying how bably he wanted to come home to the US?? God, he seriously pisses me off. I am 5 months pregnant, cranky and being a single Mom to our 2 year old while he gets waited on by MOMMY. And acting like he is on vacation and taking his sweet ass time to come home to us..This really angers me. And where does he think I am getting all this money from? Pulling it out my ass? God, I swear he has no brain....

missing him...

So, It seems like forever since I left my Husband behind...I'm not quite sure how I feel now that it's been about a month. I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm lonely and I'm scared as shit. His appointment for his waiver is next wednesday the 24th. It is also the same day as my ultrasound...I can't sleep. I'm not at all excited, I'm flipping out. What if he is backlogged and it takes us another year til we can be together? How will our daughter live without her Papi? How will I deliver our child alone? How will I go on? Should I move there to be close to him? Or should I stay here? What about my other kids who can't move to another Country....Oh shit I'm scared and alone. I pray to God he gets his Visa and he can come back home....I hate this whole thing...

January 14th, 2010

After 2 bus rides and one taxi ride, we arrive in El Paso. I can't stop crying. I want to go home, but yet I don't want to leave my Husband behind....god, this sucks....

January 13th, 2010

Hubby arrives in Juarez and gets to DHL in the knick of time. Stupid package was only the SAME FREAKIN PAPERS we had about his up-coming apt. He is furious and I can't calm him down on the phone. Neither of us can understand why they would send them by DHL and send them there instead of the 2 addresses we gave them in Mexico. So frustrating...
We decide to have him notorize a paper allowing his Aunt to pick up any future papers so it doesn't happen again...
Now I have to leave on a bus without saying goodbye to my Husband....I have never been so emotional.....If only I could stay, but I have been here a month and I have to pay rent and bills as soon as I get back...God, I don't wanna go.....

January 12th, 2010

DHL calls and says Hubby has a package that has to be picked up in Juarez by the next day. We are soooo confused. We ask what it is and the woman says it's his Visa. Impossible I say, we haven't even submitted the waiver application. We have no choice but for Hubby to go.
Unfortunatly, Hubby is more than an hour away, on a horse bringing the cows home. Great. Big mess. His nephew and I go off to find him. We find him, cold, wet and hungry and tell him the news. He is flipping out, because he doesn't want to go back to Juarez alone and doesn't want to leave me because I am leaving the next day....Hardest decision, but I tell him he NEEDS to see what the papers are, but I'm positive it isn't his Visa. We drive to Guerro and put him on the bus. I never felt so sad and alone...

January 6th, 2010

WE MADE IT!! It is 100 times better here!! Beautiful scenery, running water and clean air to breathe!! And home cooking by Mi Suegra....thank heavens we made it...

January 5th, 2010

We head out by bus for the more than 14 hour trek to his hometown of Agua Zarca, Zacatecas...
Can't wait to get out of Juarez!!!

January 4th, 2010

I am still alive, but barely...I hate it here and want to go f'ing HOME!!!!
We go once again back to Consulate and see the same guy. We make the call, and THANK FREAKIN GOD, we got an answer!! ALL CLEAR and his Waiver appt is February 24th, 2010.
Hubby wants to leave right away to go to his Mom's, but we decide to leave the next day..

December 31st, 2009

Head back to Consulate and went to a place that has Internet and phones. Super nice people there that explain I need to have put a Mexico address on the G-325 and I-601. I had it filled out the week before we left and had put our US address. Argh..
They make the call and again, another let down....Immigration officer hasn't reviewed it yet, most likely because of the darn Holidays and He is told they have 6 weeks to check. Well, isn't that just fabulous. Hubby is beyond pissed. I can't even talk to him. We all head home angry and sad.

December 28th, 2009

Back to Consulate to inquire about status. Wait in line forever and finally get to the info window. Super nice lady who speaks english-HURRAY-tells us, it has not been checked by the officer yet, so to try to call back everyday. We explain we are staying in the middle of east bumfuck and there are no phones...she shrugs....
Dammit crap. We head home after Hubby has a breakdown. He wants to go HOME. Home to The States. Home to our life...I feel the same. I want nothing more to go home...I am in a daze...

December 24th, 2009

Back to the stupid frickin Consulate to bring the pee results. Did I mention that it's Christmas Eve and i am HOMESICK and need my babies??? Oh, and did I also mention that there in NO FREAKIN CELLPHONE SERVICE unless you are right next to the darn Consulate??? HELL!!!
Hubby gets in and leaves results. They hand him a white paper with instructions for the pardon. He is told to call in 5 days to make sure pee is cleared.
NOTE..the damn number is a 1-900# and can't be called from a cellphone or a damn pay phone. Um, how the frick are we sposed to call????

December 23rd, 2009

THE BIG DAY.

We woke up to snow and freezing frickin' rain and I have the worst bellyache.

Hubby is standing outside in the icky weather waiting..I opt for sitting in the car with no heat watching from across the street.

Hubby back and very aggrivated. His total interview was wicked short, only asked a handful of questions, then told him he needed to go back to the Medical office and do a pee test and bring it right back. They gave him 3 papers. One blue one stating needed urine test, one blue one stating he stayed more than 180 days illegally, but qualifies for a pardon and the 3rd one was the DHL paper. He has to be back at 3pm to pick up pee results. We try to sort shit out and grab lunch. At 3pm, he picks up pee and goes back to Consulate to turn in. Mother F'ers are not taking in any more people and tell him to come back tomorrow. WTF???? Too pissed off to do anything, we head home.

December 22nd, 2009

WOOHOO, gringa food all around the Consulate...Does it taste the same?? HELL NO!!! damn bellyache after eating...waaaaaa..I wanna go home..

Back to the Medical place to pick up hubby's results. Hubby is crazy nervous about tomorrows interview. Got my fingers and toes crossed...

December 21st, 2009

Headed to city to have Hubby's physical. 3 1/2 hours of waiting...and I might add I'm the ONLY gringa near the Consulate. Go figure. I have never felt so alone and nervous. People stare at me like I have 7 heads. Wtf??

Hubby is finally done and is told the results will be ready to pick up at 5pm. His Aunt needs to go back to the "restaraunt", so we go too.

Back to pick up results and we are late!! Dammit crap. Closed and have to come back in the morning.....GRRRRRRR....

Our new home for a bit...

Juarez...hmmmm, what can I say without being truthful? Ummm, it was scary as hell. Military checks and posts EVERYWHERE and poverty like I hadn't seen since a pre-teen visiting Tiajuana...It is ugly, dry, dusty, cold and did I say ugly??? His Aunt owns a lttle restaraunt and a store, but it's nothing like what I expected. Can I go home PLEASE?? Did I mention I'm pregnant and have to pee 24/7???

December 18th, 2009

Today is the day..I'm so nauseaus I can't even think straight. I am 10 weeks preggo with numero cinco and have never been sicker. Why am I doing this? Why are we going? I wanna run and hide!!
7am we get on our first plane...change planes in Florida and 3pm we have arrived in El Paso, Texas. No turning back now.....
Taxi ride across the border and we arrive at the bus station in Juarez. Hubby's Tia is picking us up and he hasn't seen her in more than 11 years. I pick her out right away...the similarities to his family is more than obvious!!
We head back to their house about 20 minutes from the city...I have no idea what I'm about to see....

November 24th, 2009

Because of Thanksgiving, we didn't get this letter that changed our life until November 27th. Hubby had his appointment in Ciudad Juarez on December 23rd, 2009. Way to f*ck up my Holidays, eh?? Dammit crap, what are we gonna do? I have 4 kids for chrissakes...ARGH. My Mom and Dad surprise us by buying 3 one way tickets leaving on December 18th. Three older kids gotta stay behind and I'm heartbroken at having to spend my 1st Christmas away from ALL my babies and family...

October 29th, 2009

May 28th, 2009

We mailed his application and it was received June 5th, 2009. Here we go!!! We had no help from Lawyers, I was doing all my reseach online and very confused.

The beginning..

So, where to start? I have no idea how to begin....
I met my love on April 2nd, 2006 and I was NOT looking for love. In fact, to be truthful, I was married with 3 kids and had been for 13 years...I had no idea my life would change so fast...We had our daughter Mia Angelina on December 16th, 2007 and were married on October 3rd, 2008. Life was good except the fact that he was Illegal. So began our journey..
