Engagement Pics

Well, wedding plans are in full swing! We are making plans to have the wedding August 2nd, 2008 at good ole Airport Freeway CoC. Why, you might ask, do I say ''making plans" and not just "getting married" on August 2nd? Well, if you notice my ticker up above, you'll see we've started the looooong process of getting a fiancé visa. Today I mailed in a big packet full of applications and information about me and Rod in order to be approved for Rod to apply for the visa at the U.S. embassy in Santiago. Now, it's almost guaranteed that we'll get the visa, however, there is no guarantee on how long it will take. So, if you're reading this please add us to your prayer list and cross your fingers! The first step will take the longest (i.e. you can't even call to ask why it's taking so long unless it's been six months), I'm hoping for 4 months at the most. But once our application gets sent to the embassy in Santiago (the second step), I think things will go a little faster. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

And now....

Engagement Pictures! A friend of ours has a really nice camera and was kind enough to take some pictures of me and Rod before I left Santiago for Christmas. We went to the municipality building a few blocks from my apartment. It was a beautiful background, but unfortunately my favorites were the close up pics, so you don't really get to see much of the scenery. Oh well, enjoy!
