I just got this e-vite through my email the other day, from a local Seattle news station about a local blogger meet up to be held in August. It sounds like fun meeting some local bloggers, I might end up going if Clayton can get the time off.

I got my Green Card in the mail the other day everything is correct this time no name screw up, can't believe I had to wait an extra 5mths for them to change a name. Speaking of Immigration guess I have to save more money than I thought to file for my citizenship. This was in my local paper this morning "Fees to apply for naturalization will rise substantially Monday — up to $675 from $400. Most other application fees, including the cost of permanent resident status, are set to increase, too." What the heck and get this "Applications for permanent resident status, commonly known as a green card, will cost $1,010, more than 2½ times the current fee of $395." That's just ridiculous. I'm all for paying the fees and such, I mean I really have no choice if I wanna be with Clayton. But to raise it that much, inflation sucks! I hope processing times will become shorter, but I doubt it.

I guess I have 10 years for me to think about putting money by, and start saving. We really can't afford it right now as we are both in school and are trying to save for the move to Texas. Hopefully when we both settle down in good jobs I can start thinking about citizenship. I tell you at those fees I'm sure it'll put a lot of people off.

I have a new addiction to the Internet it's called Facebook thanks to my sister Sarah who got me into it. I wonder if this is the new craze for many people right now. It's strange how many Internet crazes you go through first I was into forums specifically Lovingyou still like to go there from time to time. Then it was MSN groups, then making Blinkies in PSP which I still like to do, but not as much. My website which I need to update and hopefully remodel in the fall in my web design class. Then it was MySpace and Flickr. Oh and lets not forget my blog which isn't much of a craze for me right now but is more of a necessity to keep my family and friends in the loop of my life.

Speaking of life, what's been going on here. Well I got my grades back; a while ago actually but haven't blogged about them. I got 3 As and a B+ and I hit the honors list again for last quarter. I'm taking my summer class Typography, which is pretty neat. So I'm in school Tuesdays and Thursdays. Been doing some of my Scrapbooking and I have also been studying for my drivers permit.

I got an email the other day saying that my new Green Card is on the way, let's hope they don't screw up the name this time. It's taken 5mths total for them to change my name, got to love immigration. We had a lovely 3 Year anniversary can't believe it's been that long already thanks for all the congrats. I'm sure the next 3yrs will go by just as quick.
