Waiting...is very boring!

The first thing that Rodrigo and I are waiting for is a mailed receipt telling us that they have my temporary visa request. I guess after that is the real long wait.
SO what to do to entertain myself while I am waiting??
First, I am reading. Anne of Green Gables, the whole series. I never ever finished it, but it's nice to go back to something I used to read a long time ago. I would read the Little House on the Prairie, but I think Anne is a bit more interesting to a 20 year old and I read the Little House series at least 10 times. If you are thinking that I have the lamest habits, I won't disagree with you! I am a nerd, I can't help it.
Second, I am putting together a 2000 piece puzzle and to make it challenging, not that a 2000 piece puzzle of Van Gogh's Starry Night isn't hard enough! I have to keep the puzzle in the box while I put it together because it is HUGE and takes up more than half the dining room table. SO when I am home alone i dump out the pieces put together what I can, stick the put together part in the box and the left over pieces in a bag til next time. Of course you think this is also stupid, how am I supposed to ever finish the puzzle?? Well, the family leaves for the beach in December and that leaves Ro, his dad, Zoe and me in the house. SO therefore I can use the table because there only needs to be 2 spots open for Ro and I to eat.
Third, I am working on a few things. First I am trying to stay at this job and do interviews online by a Skype call. Still waiting for the results of that. I am also trying to get a job with elearning where I will be giving English classes to people in Spain via Skype. Both of which I will be able to do while in the US. It'll be nice to have the $1000 or so a month put into a Chilean bank account for Ro and I to come back to after a year :o) Which makes me think we will be stable enough that there could possibly be a cute bundle of joy in the near future, or should I say bundles! I think Zoe can have up to 4 pups in her first litter. That should give me something to do!! Taking care of one Yorkie is a challenge adding 4 new ones ought to be a challenge! I just hope that with the profits of that Ro and I will be able to have a bundle of joy of our own, of the human species!
Fourth, I love to dream. Haha I think I go to dell.com everyday just to pick out what computer I want for the day. Since both of my jobs require internet and a computer, I will be able to or should I say we will be able to purchase my very first laptop/computer ever!! Yes, what kind of world is this where a 20 year old American has never had a computer? Haahaha. Anyways, my current choice is a Spring Green 15.4 inch Dell Studio laptop. I can't wait til I can actually buy it though!!
And lastly, to keep myself from being bored I look for tickets. From random different locations to other randoms. I have almost everything planned out for when I can finally put Rodrigo's tickets on my Amex card! The first part of the trip, which we haven't figured out the details yet, is from Santiago to Lima, Peru. Possibly a bus. Lots of hours! With advice from Lydia, thanks!! I looked into a flight from Lima to Chicago for dirt cheap!! Check out Spirit Airlines!! And for the last leg of his journey I thank myself for signing up for an American Express Delta Skymiles Gold card. Yes, after 2 years I can use my miles for something good! I have about 29,000 skymiles, not much, but all you need for a flight from Chicago to Minneapolis is 25,000! SO I guess I will use it now! SO free ticket, cheap ticket, and an unknown part of the journey! So far the total is about $500! I am amazed with myself. My mom raised me a good bargain hunter!! Thanks mom!
And of course, Rodrigo and I have decided that we will use the Amex card for EVERY purchase we make while we are in the US and pay it off every month. We get 2 skymiles for every dollar we spend on gas. With gas where it is imagine the miles we will rack up in one year!!! :o)
So, for now I am keeping myself busy, Rodrigo too, and Zoe who is working on getting her last four big doggy teeth in and losing her last puppy teeth so we are all working hard! Tonight we will be going to the Basic Bar to watch the debates! I can't wait! There are going to be a few fellow expat in Chile bloggers going and I can't wait to meet the faces that go behind the blogs!! Not to mention the fact that we get drink specials if we can prove we are from the US, which is not that hard, pop out the passport and into the party!!!

I should have thought to put this in, but firsts for us have always been hard to remember! Today Rodrigo and I have been married for one month. I suddenly remembered an hour ago. Of course after our first month of dating, we didn't celebrate because neither of us could remember the exact date. Yes you may find this odd, because usually with girls, they write it down somewhere, I'm not as obsessed as the ones I used to see in high school that actually kept track of the number of DAYS they had been dating so and so. Anywho, after one month of being married I would say that we are very happy. Everything is now falling into place, maybe its the springtime that just makes everything seem so wonderful, but maybe its the fact that we are both saving money now, before when we were only talking about saving money of course it didn't seem like anything. I am glad that I chose to marry Rodrigo, I know I am young, but why can't we have longer to spend the rest of our lives together then apart.
