13 Big Ones!

Happiest of Birthday's for Haven!

November 3rd marked the day that Chad's youngest daughter turned 13 years old! Her actual birthday consisted of gifts, pizza, cake and family! Chad was even sweet enough to set-up the web cam and stuff so I could watch from afar. It's really difficult not being able to be around for these things, but he's so thoughtful and always tries to include me. I'm seriously so lucky.


So, if her birthday was Wednesday - why post about it now? Mostly because I want to let everyone know that Chad is oh-so-lucky to be spending the night surrounded by giggly, loud and hormone induced teenage girls! ha ha ha ha ha!

Haven is having some friends over for pizza, cake, movies, snacks and root beer floats! Maybe even a bonfire if the weather permits =) I honestly wish I could be there but I'll enjoy seeing Chad get flustered and aggravated all night. HA HA! Love you, husband!

Until Next Time,
Shan

WE

Remember, that no matter what happens I never love you any less. I only grow to love you more.

We grow we learn we change we compromise, we laugh we cry we fight and we make up we have sex and we make love; we figure things out and we mess things up, we understand we care we are friends we are lovers we are most of all married to each other......

That's the most important part of we are.

"WE"

I will always be grateful that I have you in my life

I love you Shannon , It's been a great 6 months.

Immigration Update!

NOA1 Received!

"Your USCIS application/petition has been received and routed to the California Service Center for processing. "

Not that I expect any of you who haven't gone through immigration, to know what that means - but - basically it means our petition has been accepted and cheque cashed. A hard-copy of notification will be sent via snail mail and in the mean time someone will be going through our petition to see if it will be accepted. When it is *knock on wood*, the real nitty gritty work will begin.

Wish Us Luck!
Until Then,
Shan

Big Day For The Cavitt's!

Teamwork = Results!

Chad and I have always kind of shared a brain. Finishing one another's sentences, humming the same tunes, touching base at the same time kinda thing. We have just always meshed. Well yesterday marked the day that we joined forces and made our first official decision together as a married couple!




We're Moving!

Of course Chad will be moving before I get there but we're going to have a fresh start together. We've rented a three bedroom house that is actually off the same road he currently lives on. He'll still be close to his son, his daughter won't have to change schools, close to town, his work and best of all - we get to make it all our own - together!

I'll be involved remotely for the time being but I am oh so excited! The place has a bizarre layout but so much character. It's an old farmhouse located on a huge, secluded piece of land. There is only one neighbour anywhere near by. The rest are fields, forests and even a natural spring =)

Best part? We're five minutes from town! Our own private oasis that is a hop, skip and a jump away from everything we need.


I've been browsing the net for the past couple weeks, not really looking but keeping an eye out. We were quite restricted to possibilities because there wasn't a lot available that fit our criteria so when I came across the ad yesterday online - it seemed almost too good to be true. I contacted the woman who placed the add, we exchanged some emails, Chad called the Owner of the house - one more thing led to another thing and Chad sent in the deposit today!

Needless to say, it's going to be a very busy month for Chad because we take possession on December 1st. He has to pack his current house up, finish the repairs he was making, clean-up the joint, visit me in Canada and then skedaddle his cute little behind back to Kentucky to move ship!

But how exciting?!?! The photos posted here aren't great shots as the current tenants are in the midst of mov ing. Some are from Chad's phone and others are from one of the tenants when THEY moved in.

But yeah - My husband and I joined forces yesterday. Made a big decision and we're both incredibly excited to start our lives together! With Chad's handiness, my decorative touch and a little bit of love - we're going to make this a beautiful HOME.

I just wish I could be more a part of it. Though knowing Chad, he'll stop at no ends to ensure I am included. Oh, and our bedroom? Has a fireplace! Wee!

He's Good Like That!
Until Next Time
