Different to other years, this year’s celebration of Thanksgiving Day seems to be more meaningful. As I reflect on the year that has gone by, the emotions are running higher than normal, and I realize that I have so much to be thankful for.

Remember Our Veterans (Our Diggers)
FOR THE FALLEN Laurence Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children England mourns for her dead across the sea, Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady… Continue reading
Permanent Resident!
After what seemed like an eternity to get to this place, after 88 days from submitting our applications for a marriage-based visa and application for permanent residency, our interview was today and it was approved! We are more than stoked!

DOMA Unconstitutional
Edited post from my Facebook: Today’s decision completely changes my and Chris’s life together. For over 14 years, I have found (legal) ways to remain in this country to be with the man that I love, and create the family that we have together. This has involved student visa’s and temporary work visas, in many… Continue reading
