So close yet......

We'll after almost 18 months on the island our residency papers were finally ready to be picked up! There is only one day to pick them up which was today, so we got up early got everyone all ready and headed over to Phillipsburg Police Station to pick them up. We get all the way over there and are told that the paper and picture the school told us to bring is not right and we have to go have another passport picture taken. When we get over to the passport picture place it was going to cost $12 for each picture and could take close to 2 hours to develop (the window for picking up papers was only 4 hours, and the line was out the door)! Well us and another couple decided this was was to much money and time to even bother with and once again AUC did not prepare us the way that would have actually made this run smoothly! So I guess we are legal b/c we have papers but sort of illegal b/c we'll never actually get those papers! But if we've made it this long what's another 6 months!

On another note, Carter had a dentist appointment this week and Dave and I were so worried he was going to freak out big time. He actually did really great and loved sitting in the "robot" chair. Unfortuantly one tooth had a cavity in it that we have been keeping an eye on since we moved here and he needs to get it filled. So this Monday he goes back and something tells me this time isn't going to go as well as last time! Send us some good vibes we may need them!

And it was that time again....Welcome Breakfast time! It was great hanging out with all the new and old spouses and I'm excited for the next one when I get to announce that it is our last semester and everyone claps and cheers...it has been a long haul to get there!
