Some pretty awesome things have been happening over the past few days. As I blog about the bad times, I thought I should also blog some good things. Thursday morning was actually pretty awful, to be honest, but some good things came out of it. M. and I took a trip down to the States for a job interview. The day got off to a very rocky start, but M. did get the job and a few added perks that take care of other items on our "to do list" for us.
Crossing the border, we had a hard time getting back into Canada. It could be because both M and I have American passports and yet we live in Canada. I keep my expired Canadian passport for verification but sometimes having two raises more concerns. So, after asking us a bunch of questions and looking over our documents, we were sent inside to answer even more. It was nearly 10 PM, we had had a rough day and, after waiting in line over an hour and a half, I just wanted to go home.
We walk into immigration and it's empty, so we got to see someone right away with no waits. They were able to immediately pull up Matt's paperwork on their computer and see that we checked out. But the best part was they gave M. a visitor's visa so he can apply for a BC driver's license. This makes registuring a car in Canada possible, as I don't have my BC license (I am still working on optaining some lost documents). In other words, that border crossing ended up making our "to do list" ten items shorter!
Also, that morning in checking the mail we found that I had received $4000 in scholarships for the spring term, making my tuition payment nearly nothing.
We are breathing a bit easier over here in Tales of Law and Love land.
