Derek got his green card!! It feels so good to have it, even though we don't know what we want to do with it yet. It's a temporary green card that is good for 2 years, and then, if we're still married, he resubmits for a permanent green card. Our lives together so far, and most of the major decisions we've made, have always been about his work visa. All of our plans for the future have ended with getting a green card. Now I'm feeling a weird rush to plan out the next 30 years of our lives. Where do we want to live? Where do we want to work? When do we want to have kids? When do we want to plan on buying a house? How are we going to save money to buy a house one day? I feel like I'm freaking out a little bit.
So anyway, we had a really fun St. Patrick's Day. We had a fun (girls only) brunch for our friend Ashley's birthday. Then we hung out in the alley and played games and watched March Madness. Then we went and drank Grapefruit Crushes and partied at the Girl Talk show where we saw a man in a praying mantis suit crowd surfing. Then we walked home and accidentally ate midnight breakfast at Blue Moon. They have delicious hashbrowns. Then we passed out on the couch and I accidentally spilt the social water I was holding.
