                                        Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Every day on the visa line is unique. Today an applicant pulled her boob out at my window. No, she wasn’t breastfeeding (not an uncommon occurrence), and no, it wasn’t a wardrobe malfunction. She was explaining to me about the surgery she had undergone a few years ago and (for some reason) figured that visual aids were necessary. Sheesh. 8221; or “credible toes. 8221; (instead of ties. I’m sure they are relieved that I find their feet credible.

                                        Saturday, October 31, 2009. From now on, I cannot be held responsible for grammatical mistakes because Spanish is melting my brain. Today begins the normal "busy season" in our household. Our anniversary, several birthdays, plus the regular holiday season tend to make money tighter, time thinner, and tempers flare(ier). This year, we have added pregnancy to the cauldron. And as if that wasn't enough, we've also scheduled two trips during the busy season. Have a safe and happy Halloween! A new couch appea...

                                        Tuesday, November 10, 2009. I made a lot of bad decisions when I was young, but I somehow managed to make one of the most imporant decisions of my life correctly when I married Sara eight years ago today. I couldn't ask for a better partner in life or a better mother for our children. I love you sweetie. Happy anniversary. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Last week, we, the Endangered Families in Mexico (EFMs), had a scare-you-out-of-being-complacent meeting at the Consulate with all of the higher-ups there. We are living in Prohibition Era America here where mob rule rears its ugly head from time to time. More so in the northeast, but it works its way into Sonora from time to time. Hermosillo is a safe city. Sure, it sucks t...

                                        EF'M: The Life of an FSO Spouse. Because I'm not just a government acronym! Saturday, September 11, 2010. A foreign service lifestyle is demanding and stressful. Many of us are moving to places we've never been too for, and in some cases, places we've never heard of before. We are leaving behind our family, friends and much that is familiar to us. If only it were that easy. Foreign service life is never that easy. There is always a curveball in store. I don't know when our paths will cross again.

Well, I need to apologize a little first about yesterday's posting. It was intended for an audience of one - me. I don't know why I felt the need to share it with the blogosphere. Obviously I have a lot I need to work out. As such I can't continue this blog anymore. (Please, no crying.). Good luck on all of your travels, and for those of you trying to get in, good luck with that as well.

So unlike several other foreign service office-related blogs, I never bothered to include a disclaimer stating that the government and I are not related, our views are different and so on and so forth. So in conclusion, please don’t take my postings as any official government stance and please don’t hold me accountable for any inaccuracies&...This blog...

One of the first tasks we had to address upon arriving in Hermosillo was to get a 40th birthday card for our brother-in-law. (For once, I actually planned ahead better than Natalie as I bought my Dad's birthday card in the States and left it at home to make sure it would get there on time.). Natalie had more luck finding a card. But alas, I'm not cable of driving to Sears by myself yet, so I had to tur...

Yesterday was Mexican Independence Day (no, for the last time, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day). This year it is a big deal as this country celebrates its bicentennial. But more than that, this year also marks the 100th anniversary of Mexico's second revolution, which culminated in 1917 with the new Mexican Constitution, so yeah, everyone here is pretty excited.

Then I'll just link back to this page, and that should save me time and space, and for experienced readers, it should make reading a little easier. Unattended Air Baggage (UAB). Thus this is the term EF'M will use. This blog is fu...
