Copies of the marriage certificate have finally arrived. Heather chased them up about a week ago which was a good job because it turned out that they'd been returned undelivered for no particular reason. Now the process of gaining residency and a work permit can begin!
We spent this afternoon in a doctor's waiting room packed full of Mexicans and Asians all waiting to get our medicals. (That's form I-693.) I find out on Thursday if I have any deadly infectious diseases. I was also given (among other things) an MMR jab. I hope I don't get autism. Heather and her Dad have to hunt down their last three years of tax returns to help prove they can support me (in pursuit of I-864 / I-864a). There are plenty of other things the immigration people want to know about me. Did you know for instance that the only two clubs that I can remember being a member of since my 16th birthday are the Venture Scouts and the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
Yesterday was our one month wedding anniversary. We went to the Melting Pot which serves fondue. It was very nice although rather pricey. We sat in a small booth with an electric hob on the table and dunked chunks of food into very hot pots of cheese, broth and chocolate. The waitress was surprised to hear that I hadn't been to a fondue restaurant before despite being from Europe.
Joe the dog isn't having such a great time. He is having one of his coughing spells which can last for a week or more. I ought to video one of his fits so you can hear how disturbing it sounds.
We've tried taking off his collar and replacing his tap water with filtered water. Heather even shut him in the bath room while we had our showers in the hopes that the steam would help but it didn't.
The baby is kicking so hard now that I can see it. He gets bursts of energy when Heather eats sugary food and freaks out when she has baths. I don't like baths either.
