WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

Day 2 of the relay race.
My wife was excited to be done with her legs.
Ready to run, just waiting for my teammate to handoff.
Mexican food reward while the other van of six runners finished.
Beer first then sleep.

We are in Ciudad Juárez for a week because the US consulate here is where they conduct the immigrant visa interviews for all of Latin America. The actual interview is Tuesday, but my fiancée has to have several appointments before that for medical, fingerprints, etc. She is Mexican, and we want to get married and live in the US, again.
As for my bare feet, they were on the hotel room AC/heater combo thing. It's way too hot here for heat, and we use the ac sporadically, but not every second. Don't want it to be frigid.

Best of luck with the consulate @sabergirl. It sounds like a painful process, but worth the hassle. Where are you hoping to live when you get through the red tape?
-
Sounds like a rough slog, sabergirl. Headed back to NC when she's got everything finished, or are you two planning to live somewhere else?
EDIT: Damn, Snowy said everything I planned to while I was slowly typing on my phone. Bastard.

Thanks for the good wishes, guys. This week of appointments is the culmination of almost two years of paperwork and jumping through hoops, so we're in the home stretch.
Our plan is to live with my folks in NC for the winter. We will have to either drive to DC or fly to another state where it's legal to have our marriage, and then eventually we hope to move to Central NY where my fiancée spent the majority of her childhood/young adulthood.
It's going to be awhile of saving money after this is wrapped up before we can really start our lives again. And, we have more attorney fees and endless paperwork to look forward to for the green card. But we're happy to be able to be together throughout this process. If I hadn't moved to Mexico, we would have been living apart for two years while all this got sorted out.

The Nou Camp!

Gaudi day in Barcelona

Water heater burst at the condo my in-laws own. Naturally, they're out of town. It was a day or two before management got in and shut off the water. I think 6 units now have water damage. Only one owner has insurance, and it isn't my in-laws.

Bad luck mate. That happened when we were living with Frans parents and they were away. My heart goes out to the parents old chap!

I know it sounds harsh, but fuck them.
They were too cheap to buy homeowner's insurance and now Julie and I are going to have to deal with all their (rightfully) pissed off neighbors and the whole remediation project. Meanwhile, her parents are just going to stay in Las Vegas and proceed with their daily routine. Then, when they get sued for all the damage, Julie and I will have to deal with that, too. After all, what's the point of having a lawyer for a daughter if you can't have her represent you when you do something stupid?
