The Ultimate Gift

I just finished watching the Ultimate Gift and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a feel good movie that also pulled at your little heart strings. I wont go over the synopsis because I think that's cheap and you should just go watch it yourself... BUT I will say it really makes you look at your life in a new perspective.... Same questions you might ponder...

Do I have my heart set on worldly things (money) or godly things (family, my own spirituality)??

Do I have a good relationship with my family?

Do I have true friends or just a lot of acquaintances??

Do I take advantage of life lessons I can learn from others?

Those are some of the questions/themes that stood out to me. Life is all about our relationships with others, like God, our family, our peers. And I'm stoked that I get the privilege of marrying such an awesome guy! I know that sort of came out of no where... BUT HEY! You'll get over it!

A new beginning

Well the truth is, I didn't want to get on this blogging wagon... BUT with this fiance visa adventure and a wedding to plan I came to the conclusion that it'll probably be quite therapeutic for me!

For the last 5 months Esteban, my very lovely fiance, and I have been contemplating where to get married. We even filled out all the forms for the fiance visa but we decided to get married in South America on February 5th, 2010. Then we realized that there was a possibility if we ever wanted to get back to the states, I might have to leave him and petition for him... Yeah.. we didn't want to do that....

So my Aunt and Uncle, who are totally debt free and have a good amount of assets said they would sponsor us! (I'll be graduating in January and he'll be graduating in September, so we aren't millionaires! We're POOR! But totally in love!!) In about 2 days we gathered everything we needed for the fiance visa and shipped it via FED EX last friday!!

I'm getting so antsy to know! But we still have possibly 8 long months of waiting to go! I know we'll get it, as the government says we have a bonafide relationship! How can they deny us?? I just hope these 8 months go fast or ... possibly it will only take 4 months! Now that would be beautiful!
