Hi Jerry.

We considered this option, but at the time 129F approval was taking
only one month at the MSC. Also, I would have to establish residency
in Israel. This would have taken one month, too much time for me last
March. I wonder if we would have run into the same (whatever it may
be) that is causing our delay. My experiences with the embassy in
Tel-Aviv have been frustrating. The people are uninformed and
unhelpful. On several occasions we were given inaccurate information.
It didn't seem a worthwhile option at the time. I believe our case
is in good hands...finally. We should be hearing something any day
now.

Too funny. Great story!

I actually miss those Fruit Explosions as I'm not a coffee drinker
myself, plus they had great cinnamon buns and hot chocolate. I can
never see a Hortons coming to Idaho but they do have Starbucks and
Moxie Java. Gee if only I had the money to open one, I'd be making
big bucks! Oh well, I've gained 15 lbs since I arrived here so
probably best I keep away from the doughnuts.

Hmm... Maybe I'll open a Tim's when I move or at least buy one of their
IceCap machines.

I've actually lost 20 pounds since Shane left and hope to lose a bit more
before I move. I can't wait to see his face when he sees me. I've been
watching what I eat and exercising. It's really helped me to keep my mind
off of the wait to have such a healthy distraction. Hmm.. I've been
spending my wait, taking of weight. How funny. LOL
