I heard from the US Consulate @ the beginning of this week in regards to my pending "American" citizenship -- I've been waiting paitently for, for the last 8 months -- and they informed me in a really SHORT email, (one line of official blue text) that "Sorry, may be November" -- so with that information on our plate, J. and I did some official discussin of our own and have decided to go to the states first, and apply for my appropriate paperwork down there, it will be hard, because I won't be able to work, or possibly stay for more than 6 months, but J. really wants to go, as in REALLY, and for the sake of my marriage, and the fact that I really want to go too, we're going to step out (in faith) and try to make a go of it. There is lots of stuff to take care of here, but I really feel like the timing is good, all things considered, we're trying to connect now with our California friends, in hopes that someone will help us or take us in for a while till we figure out what's going on...but our target date (if there can be one) is November 15th to be driving away south.
The weather here sucks (it's snowing already up north, and here it's all grey, cold, rain and wind) and I can feel the California dream becoming life, I don't want it to slip away.

hey beautiful,
i think this is very brave of you... and i totally understand your need to escape. i hope it is a wise and fruitful move. what will jay be doing there in november? i'm just wondering also what 'signs' or assurances God has given you that california is, indeed, the place to go. just cautioning words from a concerned friend. i love you so much, and am praying God gives you absolute confirmation. faith is a really good thing... but sometimes we just get restless and impatient... how do we decipher between the two? i'm not sure... anyway, talk to me! love em.
I'm not sure either to be brutally honest, I've been praying alot the last couple days and asking God if this is right, is this what we do, this morning he gave my Isaiah 48... I'm still reading... there is alot to consider, but if it's NOT supposed to happen, I think God will stop us, I've been asking him to open doors but close some as well, can we ever know....
