Months and months ago, my mom had told me and Kira that she wanted to buy us tickets to come visit her in Florida over spring break.

It's only me who cares about the dishes :D Do you work at one office or many different ones? It might be nice to try living in a studio / 1 bedroom apartment not too far from work to cut down on your commute.

Yeah, at least that was the case when I got my PR. I've heard that they've started to put restrictions in terms of needing to stay married for a certain amount of time, but that's a new thing that wasn't in place when I landed, so it doesn't affect me.
