Painting is SO much fun!! :-)
I'm confused though... if you're married then why wouldn't you be able to stay there?

If for some reason you do come home... you'll be more than welcome to take over my apartment if you like :)(I'm rarely there.)

turns out a lot of people come over here, marry an aussie then once their two years are up and you get citizenship they divorce the aussie. It was actually on a news special the other day. Living here in terms of taxes, medicare, buy properties is nothing like back home. As mean as it sounds, Oz is like america was 20 years ago, however their medicare here is amzaing. Basically you go into a Dr pay your $60-70 dollar fee go across the shop to the medicare office and they hand you back everything but $5, and everyone has medicare, everyone. So no worrying about if a job covers you or not, no more paying $150 out of your pay check a month for coverage, a lot of people take advantage of this. Basically I have to go through a screening process and interviews with immigration asking why I came here, what are my plans do I really love my husband and what not. If for any reason they think I am lying or dont show enough proof
then I get shipped home. Which by the way if happens, I would totally take you up on your offer : ) Be good to see ( ... )

I miss you too. And kinda hope you at least come back to visit. I even sort of understand the whole thousands of miles (and several time zones) away thing. As far as phone cards go, though, if you have decent internet (which I don't) there is always Vonage. It's 20 or 30 a month and next to nothing to make calls ( ... )

Hey D-

I didn't have your e-mail address at work so I'm sending you a message via Live Journal. I hope all is well with you. I was wondering how if you will be allowed to stay or if you'll have to come back to the states.

Things are crazy here. I'm going to Texas soon to see my friend Karen who just had a baby in September. Then there is school and work as well.

Keep in touch.
