Back Home 1 Month

I am back home 1 month today after going to China and marrying the most incredible woman I've ever met.

When I arrived in America I had to jump right back into work the next day and it was fast and furious the first 3 weeks, but now that the dust has settled I am really missing Xin Jiao.

It is nice that we can talk everyday on QQ (somewhat like Skype but Chinese), but that is only a tease since she is not here with me.  Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for QQ.  I don't know how people did it years ago when all they had was snail mail and a telephone call once or twice a year.  Anything short of her being here with me in Augusta isn't enough though.

Now for a short commercial.  Xin Jiao and I talk almost everyday for a few minutes on our cell phones.  It takes me about 3 months to burn up $10.00 as the calls are $0.019 a minute.  How you ask?  www.rebtel.com  You can call all over the world for fractions on the dollar.  Check them out and if you decided to use them mention my name and I get $5.00 worth of free calling.

Back to Xin Jiao.  To make matters worse we face the monumental task of going through the process of immigration, a process that would make most people weak kneed.  All of the paperwork has to be spot on perfect.  If there is one mistake, one simple contradiction then it will be automatically rejected. But if you come here illegally then you will be forgiven and handed a green card possibly citizenship. 

If we are lucky the process will about one year for Xin Jiao to get an interview at the American Consulate in Guangzhou.

If I sound a little depressed I guess I am but really, I am just missing her.
