Getting my visa!

Hi everyone!

Now, it's official! All I need now to visit all of you is a plane ticket!!! :o)

Yesterday my parents and I had a visa interview at the American Consulate...I was a little appreensive because I couldn't prove my incomes were enough to afford a trip...but we tried a family tourist visa, so it became quite easier...

The interview didn't last more than 3 minutes!

Mom and Dad will take off on the 28th November...and returns on the 07th December. I still haven't decided what I want them to bring me...after so many years, I really can't remember all the things I loved about the US!!!! :o)

I guess it's time for me to come back and figure this out!!!

Getting together

Last night we had another get-together dinner at my place.
I love having people around...specially, around the table.

I made dinner for 9 people and we had an amazing time. Friends are always welcome to make us laugh once in awhile! :o)

I'm glad my friends don't mind doing all the washing up after all!

Mom and Dad are traveling to Houston,TX and Orlando,FL in the end of this month...Bruno has finally convince them to meet him to celebrate his 30th birthday in the US (Canada is too cold for my mom)...They are going to Disneyworld for 5 days and then visit a friend's couple who have been living in Houston for about 8 months or so. I'm glad they have accepted to go, but kind of frustrated that I can't join them during this trip (someone in this family has to work, right?)! I just wonder how they're going to survive without speking English! :o)

Next week we're going to try to get the American visa...this is my dad's first visa interview (and his first passport as well!)...We already got the Canadian visa, so I guess we'll make it! To bad they don't give us a 10-year visa anymore!

Halloween

Hi everyone!

Halloween is not the most famous holiday around here...which doesn't really mean some people don't celebrate it! To be quite honest, some friends of mine are celebrating it tonight...

Since I work at an English language school, we did celebrate halloween with lots of candies, games, spooky rooms, prizes for the best Jack O'Lantern and so on...Kids and teenagers struggling for "halloween gifts"...eating...screaming...running all over the place...oh my! They really have lots of energy!

Tonight I'm going to another Halloween celebration...we're not supossed to wear costumes, but black is crucial! I bought a witch's hat for the school halloween party, so I guess I'm going to use it just for the fun of it!

We have to take something to eat and to drink for this party. Instead of buying something, I decided to make it myself...I really like its results and thought would be a good idea to share with you my "work of art"... :o)
