We're here waiting for my husband's papers to return to the US. We're past the time when they said we'd have an answer so that just aggravates everything.<br /><br />We plan to go to Canada if he's denied and have talked about going there before we have an answer, but I don't want to spend the money to move until we know. So we wait...<br /><br />Also, it's different living here than vacationing here, as is true in most any place.Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-52241270673324815872009-08-05T18:43:28.434-05:002009-08-05T18:43:28.434-05:00I haven't been blogging that long, but I enjoy...I haven't been blogging that long, but I enjoy your blog and had no idea you didn't like being where you are. What a shame. Do you plan to stay in Mexico? It's awful when you are in a place you don't like....it's like wasting time. I love Mexico so much that I can't imagine someone not liking it. Maybe in the states you will miss Mexico?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515309210668656076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-32435656924488447182009-08-05T13:03:25.482-05:002009-08-05T13:03:25.482-05:00Rooster, hives?

When I was in Mexico for two years waiting for immigration, I ended up getting hives because I was so anxious about getting home. A doctor at a government hospital I went to about the hives told me it was all pyschological and I needed to get home. A doctor at a govn't hospital telling me that! I knew it was serious.
