A couple of weeks ago Drew was in class and ran into our old neighbour. He told Drew that a package had arrived for us back in December and they just hadn’t around to contacting us. Drew just told him to bring it to class the following week. Well you can probably guess that he [...]
On January 10th The Olde English Tearoom staff had their annual Christmas party. Our boss Judy hosts it every year at her house and what a perfect location it is. We all brought food and drinks and had great fun switching secret Santa gifts and playing the white elephant game. The highlight of the [...]
Why stay home for Christmas? Emily’s family sure didn’t.
Grandpa and Grandma Hayes traveled from Rundu, Namibia, to South Africa to Nigeria to New York to Raleigh to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, to Williamsburg, Virginia, and back to Wake Forest again. Aunty Sally spread her wings and flew from London to RDU and rode the nine hours to [...]
We’re in Pennsylvania for Christmas at my parents’ new house in Greensburg. We’ve been having a wonderful, relaxing time sitting in front of the fire, chasing the dog around the house, and snacking on all kinds of goodies from cheese to shrimp to hot chocolate. We’ll be back in Wake Forest on Friday night, but [...]
Perhaps the best kept secret about the Mausts is the musical prowess of my late grandma Ella. She had the unique ability to hum and whistle at the same time. Yeh, you might think, “Well, I can do that, too,” but let me assure you that my grandma brought the heat long before Rahzel came [...]
Don't worry. It's all been taken care of. Emily had to make an appearance in Charlotte today to have biometric testing done. When Emily immigrated in February 2006, her green card was good for two years because she had been admitted on a conditional basis because when she immigrated, we had been married less than two years. Phew! So, two years from the second anniversary of her immigration is the beginning of next month, meaning green card expired. But, don't freak out. This is normal. We just had to apply to get the conditions removed ($545!) and now, after today's biometric testing (finger prints + picture), she will be issued a ten (or maybe its fifteen) year green card. Nonetheless, my little resident alien is here to stay.
