Black Friday

It's Black Friday and it's the biggest sale of the year! Did you get good deals? I think, I did. Got good deals on clothes which is mostly for Tyler. We hopped from one store to another but didn't go out to shop til past 9 in the morning. We never planned to wake up early though as most shoppers did. Did that once but don't wanna do it again. Ha,ha,... it's so cold and freezing this morning and I think that didn't stopped most of the shoppers from waking up early to fall in line in front of the stores as early as 3 am. So, we got winter clothes for Tyler, got some for mine too, I bought hubby a wireless mouse for his computer and he was happy about it and we also got toys for Tyler and some stuff for Christmas presents. It was fun shopping. We ended up hungry and starving and went to Golden Corral as our final destination. It was all good!

Back to blogging

Yep, I am back to blogging after a year since my last post. Wow! has it been a year since then? I can't believe how the days go by so fast. A lot of things have happened within that year. I will try to enumerate what I have been up to from October 2009 to present.

1) I got my first job here in the US as a Certified Nurse Aid at a nursing home. I worked full-time that time, that's why I didn't have a chance to update my blog.
2) I got my 10 year Green Card in October 2009. My removal of condition was approved without interview. Which was really great!
3) We moved to a different place here in Grand Junction.
4) I was working full time and taking care of my baby after work.
5) In May 2010 we found a bigger house and moved again still in Grand Junction area.
6) I decided to enroll one class ( Dietary and Nutrition)  in June 2010. It's a pre-requisite class to get into the LPN Program in July 2011. I went to school and work part-time.
7) I submitted my US Naturalization application in May 2010. Got my interview and test in August and got approved at the same time. Took my Citizenship Oath in the same month and become a US Citizen.
8) I got pregnant in July and I am now 14 weeks and hoping for a baby girl.
9) I resigned form work this month due to my pregnancy.
10) At present I am taking another class (Anatomy and Physiology) which is the last class I need to get done for my prerequisite.

Seems like I have accomplished a lot of things within a year. Things are doing well so far. The family is doing great. My baby Tyler is growing fast seems like.

Great News from the US Immigration

When I checked my email last night after I got home from work. I received an email notification from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding my status on my I-751 (Removing of Condition as Permanent Resident) application  that they have ordered a production of my new "Green Card" which means that it will be a 10 year permanent residence card tell me if that isn't a great news!

After reading the email, I went to the USCIS website  to check my case status online and this is what it said;

On October 2, 2009, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
