Hello everyone. It's been a few weeks so I thought it was time for an update. The short version is we still do not have his visa. He's there and I'm here back in Pennsylvania. You may recall that I retired from my career at a large health insurance company in April 2017 after 27 years of service. When I walked out of the office on my last day I had no idea where I would end up but I felt confident that I could make the best use of my severance time (18 months). Well here I am almost two years later and I'm once again retiring. I've spent the past year or so being a Dominican Housewife and I'm hanging up my cleaning gloves (I don't wear an apron) and I'm headed back into the workforce tomorrow. I have bittersweet emotions about this turn of events. The sweet is that it's a new adventure and apparently according to those close to me I like adventure. The bitter is multi faceted. 1) I miss my husband because he is still in the Dominican Republic dealing with all of the visa shenanigans. After we submitted the requested additional documents in January we were asked to provide even more documentation. It's very unsettling not knowing when I will see my husband again. 2) This isn't where I thought I'd end up. 3) I'm not giving up on my goals but I feel that I must be a responsible adult now and return to work. No more playing in the sun and sand for me for a little while, but I will find my way back to it I promise you.
I will continue to write and blog of course. I will also continue to grow my non profit, A Blessing For You. We are always in need of supplies so please spread the word and visit our website for more information or to make a donation www.ablessingforyou.org
This is a short update. Please keep us in prayer and we remain hopeful that this visa situation will be resolved soon and he can join me here.
Until next time be blessed.
