Where has the time gone ?? Already we have been married nearly three months (and still speaking to each other ;-)Â ), the snow from the wedding week has long disappeared, and the garden that Sharon has put so much hard work into is beginning to reward her labours.
My ‘english rose’ has settled well, and is now an integral part of the community ….. more of an ‘okie from okie’ nowadays, as opposed to an ‘okie2okie’ !!!! She still says ‘y’all’ occasionally, so she’s not totally anglicised yet
We are again in a ‘bureaucratic paperwork’ saga ……… changing names on Sharon’s US passport proved relatively easy, once we’d accepted that US/UK passport photos are completely different sizes/formats ….. and the fact that the US Embassy in London will not accept payment in any other currency than US$$ !!!
Registering with Doctors, Dentists, and other services all went very smoothly (much more smoothly than my cynical mind expected !!) …. and we are once again re-enacting the Visa ‘saga’ !!! I say ‘re-enacting’, because, would you believe, this is no easier than the first time around. But just as worth it.
The questions are the same, the requirements are the same, the aggravation is the same …. even to the extent that another appointment for biometric data is required !!!!!
The new computer is up and running, but Sharon’s laptop remains an important kitchen accessory (see Seasons Change – March 11th) ….. actually, now that we have them set up on a wireless network, we are enjoying listening to K95.5FM most days.
Life is good, our marriage is good, and in the words of ‘my other half’ …. I sure smile a lot !!!! But then - so does she !!
