That's what happens when you go to the IRS website, trying to learn about things we need to do before we return home.
Apologies for not writing anything last week. The Virginia Tech shootings/Massacre consumed everything last week and I just didn't feel like writing about that or anything else. So took a week off. Not really too much to talk about this week either regarding life in the wild west. Or should I say east of the wild west. So sorry if this turns into some pointless waffle about pancakes and french toast or something. Mmmmmm French Toast.
So should we extend our green cards is the question? I know we're coming home in a couple of months but surely it's wise to keep our options open. Applying for 'Reentry Permits' would no doubt save loads of time and money if we a year or so down the road decided the wild west was really for us and a sausage dog. Personally I think we both want to settle down again, buy a house, lay down some roots, be around and closer to family and friends, sit in a garden.
We're not too happy about the £ vs $ at the moment either, good if your coming over here this summer, bad if your moving back east across the atlantic. Cut our (When I say our I mean Em's) savings in half. Damn you incredibly strong pound and puny dollar. Hopefully things will balance out a little better for us by July.
Emma will have 10 shifts left to work after today, which is great news. 10 more to go then she'll be free. Not that it's been a prison sentence. I guess it's like a really long day at work. It's nearly 5.30 and time for home.
Bye until next Friday.
