Loves and Hates

I love that my Permanent Residence interview has been scheduled for May 5th, which is so quick! I can't believe it! Not even 4 months will have passed since they received my application. Thing is now, what's the hold-up with my work permit? I thought I'd get that before the scheduling of the interview... Maybe this week? I hope, I need to work!

I hate that I can't budget our groceries yet! I wish I stayed in like a...$400/month grocery bill, but I think we go over that. But here comes the best thing though: our organic veggies and fruits each week. It's $100 well spent each month and it's always great to pick them up on Tuesday. Best decision we've made! I should have $100/veggies+fruits + $30/week eating out + $100 rest of food = $320...let's say $350 is pretty accurate. I'll try that.

I love our little garden! It's so green and fresh! I have a mini herb garden in front of the door and some pretty flowers...Then in the back yard, we have some green beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, peppers, jalapeno peppers, garlic, blueberries and blackberries. Should be fun when they all have the fruits of our labor... We already had some lettuce and it's crisp and fresh!

I hate that there's still a long time until my parents come (Christmas)...but I love that they come. Period! Christmas will be special this year. If I lasted this long without them coming, I guess I can still wait until December... It's just that I miss them so much!

I love my girlfriends:

Hugs everyone!
