Waiting for the USCIS to inform me that Aldo is coming is like waiting for Santa to land on my roof with his sleigh and 8 reindeer. Sometimes I feel like this is never gonna happen.
Lately it seems like everyone around me is all arm in arm happy with a significant other. I go to the theatres, restaurants, school events, etc... and I just feel so alone. This really sucks. You can tell me all day, "Don't worry. He'll be here soon" but really I know in the back of your mind you are thinking the same as me, "Will her husband ever get here?"
Okay seriously... no phone calls, texts, lengthy emails, encouraging photo tags or surprise visits. I'm not on the verge of giving up. Believe me. I've gone 7 months... there's nothing holding me back from how many more months I need to go... I'M JUST TIRED OF IT!!!
So... this evening I get a text from USCIS. Part of me was like, "Don't fall for it again. It's not good news... just delete the message and move on." But then there's that constantly positive even in the most negative situations side of me that said, "You need to check it. It's probably the best news ever." So, I checked it. I went to the site and reset my password once again so that I could log in and see what this status change was all about.
Wanna know what it said? No... sorry to disappoint you.. he won't be here for Christmas. lol. But it did say that my case has been transferred to a different office. That's hopeful, right? Hey. It's good news in my book and enough to keep me going.
I love my Kenyan husband and I'll wait as long as I need to for him but don't be giving me any suggestions that while I wait I should become fluent in Swahili or learn all Kenyan recipes because I just need to remind you I AM NOT KENYAN.
