Two more sleeps alone!!!

Well, I am very excited... the day after tomorrow I leave for Costa Rica to pick up my husband! I truly am excited now...unlike any other time that I have left to go there. This is much more different and I feel excited, nervous, anxious (in a good way) ... so emotional. Our lives will both change and it is a very different situation than most newly married couples. It seems kind of crazy that we have been married for 13 months now and my husband has never been to my house!! lol... I bet not too many people can say that now can they? I have been racing around like a crazy lady - cleaning my house to make sure everything is perfect when he gets here. I really feel emotional that Leo is leaving his home and family... and I want him to arrive here and feel welcome and feel at home too since this is his new home! I can't wait for him to move his things here and place them around our home so that he can make it his home too! Its going to be strange having 'boy' things around.... after purging and cleaning out the closets and drawers to make room, I feel fresh and like this is a new start!!!

Off I go in about 36 hours from now... my last countdown. ;0)

Leo Received his Canadian Visa!


We are so excited! Yesterday Leo went to the Canadian Embassy first thing in the morning and was given his Canadian Visa! Even though we were told that it would be available November 17, I still was a little hestitant... in the back of mind I kept thinking that something would go wrong. The night before he picked it up I even had dreams that he showed up to the Embassy and they had no clue who he was and no record of his visa. All is good! We are happy to finally see this day after one year...almost to the day... since we applied. All that hard work gathering information and the waiting was all worth it. In two weeks (from today) my husband will finally be in Canada!! Yippeeee!!!

The Final Countdown!!!

(isn't that a song??)

10 more days until I head back to Costa Rica to get my husband and bring him to his new home in Canada! We arrive into Toronto on December 2nd... it is hard to believe that the day is so close! It seems like we have been waiting an eternity. Well, lots of emotions flowing... we are both excited but also anxious and nervous. Leo is giving up a lot to come to live in Canada but he knows that he is also gaining a lot too. We are so excited to start our lives together... it is hard to imagine the time has almost come! Leo finished working at Reserva Conchal on Oct 31 and has moved all his things back to his parents home in San Jose. He has been busy helping his Mom with things around the house, getting his stuff organised and playing some music with friends.
