Just.....WHY?

So today was THE day. I went down to the embassy. And waited. And waited. And Waited. And WAITED. Do you get the picture that a lot of waiting was involved?

Finally, my turn was up. I was immediately told that I would have to talk to this other guy. So.....more waiting. The dude called another family before me. I had been waiting longer, and was naturally, a wee bit upset at that.

After more waiting.....getting to be a theme isn't it? My mom comes up to me and says that the dude told her that it has never been done before, and he doesn't know if it's possible.

Ummmmm excuse me? 

You're telling me that no one has ever given up their Mexican citizenship in the history of Mexico? I doubt that one very much. So....we go and talk to this other lady and it turns out......Mexico made it illegal to renounce citizenship. You're stuck with it since 2003. Grrrreat. So I was told to write a letter to the Secretary of Citizenship and I'll receive a letter back stating that it's not possible to renounce, and hopefully the Navy will accept that. Right now I feel like the world just doesn't want me to get married! Sigh. As completely self-pitying as it is, why oh why me? 

Life is going to change

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. I'm going to be going to the embassy to get rid of my second citizenship. Due to the Sailor's job, I can't live with him if I have a dual citizenship. So.....I'm going to take one away. Big step. Lots of fights. With both him and my mom. In the end, it seems to have worked out though. Mom is going to be taking me to the embassy, we'll see if we need to make an appointment or not, if we do I hope we can get paperwork to fill out to make this go by faster.

While texting the Sailor I told him that this was his last chance to back out (jokingly of course!) his response was "there's nothing to back out from babe, I know that I want you, I want to marry you, have kids with you, and I wouldn't be asking you to do this if I wasn't sure."

We'll see what happens tomorrow.....but I think that this is the first step towards making our dreams a reality.

I FINALLY cut my hair!

 My last haircut was 5 months ago. Yep.....5 months. I've basically ignored my hair for the last 5 months because I'm a haircut addict. I hate the in between stages, and so as soon as I enter it, I'm usually off to the salon. This time.....because the Sailor prefers longer hair, I grit my teeth, and I bore the agony that was growing it out. No idea why the pictures are such a yucky quality, but here are my before and afters!
