Keepin it freshhhh!

New blog title!

I was doing my best work, jogging and listening to my iPod when Bowie's 'Space Oddity' came on. I love this song. Great lyrics, great tune. For some reason I paid extra attention to it as I jogged down the beautiful streets of Brentwood.

The meaning behind the song gets very deep into alienation and perception but I like the words 'and the stars look very different today' as it has personal meaning for me. Our life is ever-changing and as my husband and I navigate ourselves through it we find that every day is different and amazing and there is no excuse to not make your life awesome because you never know when you might get up one day and have an offer to move to Canada, and the stars definitely look different there.

US Immigration: Hurdle, Numero Uno


Don't let the huge stack of US Immigration paperwork leave you feeling like this...



After a week of filling out forms, reading instructions on how to fill out forms, gathering birth and marriage certificates and any other type of form, print out, certificate, photo, phone bill, movie ticket, dinner receipt, hand drawn love note or other significant type of 'relationship' evidence you can think of  we finally submitted my US Immigration paperwork which will grant me permanent residency, WOO! Now we patiently await their response.
