Martha's Trouble

I can't believe we are here. It took some prayer I'll tell you! Rob and I were supposed to leave last Saturday to come up here to see my family. A much needed vacation!!! I was so excited and couldn't wait. Then we looked at my green card. Appartently I had expired in March!! Ahhhh!!! It's good for 10 years, so it's not something you check every day, and we travel a lot so I just had no idea. Bascially this meant if I left the country, I wouldn't be able to get back in! A small problem. We called the border and a very very nice supervisor said he would give me a paper to get me back in so I could then renew my card....a good $450 later! But the good news is, when I renew, for an extra $30 I can apply for my citizenship! Then the kids and I would be dual! So as soon as I get an extra $500....I'm on it. Let's hope I don't get kicked out of the country! :)
So we are having a great time here. Time with family, which the kids are having a blast, shopping in Toronto, dinner to celebrate our anniversary, great weather....oh yeah, and yesterday at lunch i think we overheard two girls trying to get illegal documents to be in the country to work from the two guys....and I think they were strippers! It was pretty shady!???!!! Good times. Okay, on to another beautiful day and some more shopping!
