Spousal Visa (Future Plans)

I thought I’d update everyone on something my wife and I have been working on for several months.

I applied for Mare Cris’ spousal (CR1) visa a few months after we got married.  So far things have gone smoothly, but it is a long process that involves a good bit of paperwork (I’m very thankful to the  Filipina Fiancee Visa Service for guiding me through it).  We’re starting to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, but we know we still need to be patient.

We are planning to move to the USA once the visa is approved.   God willing, we’ll begin the next chapter of our lives there (which will include starting a family).

I have mixed emotions about leaving the Philippines, but I’m also very excited about introducing my wife to my family members in person.  More importantly, I’m eager to see what God has in store for us in this new phase of life.

I’ll write more about all these issues in the future. I just wanted to make a brief post to let everyone know what we are doing and planning.

Nick Vujicic in Manila: the Unstoppable Tour

I was amazed by the story and testimony of Nick Vujicic when I “discovered” him online a few years ago (I even posted his “Get back up!” video here on this blog).   I’ve always hoped he would end up visiting us here in the Philippines some day.

Looks like my wish has come true–Nick Vujicic will be speaking in Manila on May 20th!  Unfortunately I don’t think my wife and I will be able to make it.  But I’d encourage you to look into attending this event. 

EVENT DETAILS

On May 20, 2013 (Monday), Nick Vujicic will be speaking in front of thousands of Filipinos for a business / leadership conference at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, 7:30 PM with his inspiring and motivational message of hope. Catch him LIVE IN MANILA as he continues his UNSTOPPABLE TOUR!
