It’s time to replace some of the network equipment. The firewalls are struggling to keep out the fire.

It has been 139 days since we filled our immigration papers and I have been granted permanent residency status in the USA and my Greencard has been ordered, should receive it in the mail shortly.
Our immigration interview went really well yesterday and all the staff there were fabulous and very friendly. The whole immigration process has been very smooth for us and couldn’t have done it without my superwife’s help. The lady that interviewed us was very nice and laughed and joked around with us and made us feel very good about the whole ordeal.
We are both very glad the process is over for now, we don’t have to do anything now for the next year and a half. After that time I can apply to have any conditions lifted on my residency status.
What this all means for us:

  • If we were to travel back to Australia or visit another country I am automatically granted access to re-enter the USA.
  • If I were stupid enough to do something silly in USA I would no longer be deported back to Australia.
  • I have a much higher chance of finding employment being that I am now a permanent resident of USA.

I utilized the KISS method.

The place is called ‘Congo River Mini Golf‘ and is such a beautiful place and very pretty. It was a very very hot day and after golf we all headed off to ‘Steak ‘N Shake‘ for burgers and milkshakes, they do make very nice burgers and milkshakes (thick ones too). We played some moonlight bowling on the wii and stayed the night at Pam & Bobby’s. Sunday was just as hot so we lazed about the pool and swam to cool off until dinner was ready. Bobby did a terrific job as usual, he is getting to be a better cook all the time and really does enjoy it too. You can taste the love he puts into his food! We had BBQ ribs, BBQ quail, BBQ chicken wings, beans and  fresh corn. Of cause I got to play with the electronic fly zapper tennis racket, it takes 2 x AA batteries and produces 15,000 Volts of bug zapping power, oh and by the way, It hurts like hell if you ACCIDENTALLY touch it. My younger brother Evan had one confiscated by customs coming into Australia.

Black Snake

Found this pretty Black Snake in the backyard last Friday while out walking the dog. Nana wanted me to WHACK it but I said “No it’s not whacking day”. They help to keep down the rodents, It didn’t seem to mind me getting close to take a pic. He was about 4 or 5 foot long.
