And now, THE GOOD NEWS

I GOT THE PAPERS!! I am now a permanent resident, which means I have to look for a job. We only had to spend a day in Buffalo to do it. (wouldn't recommend Buffalo if you have a choice)
It did snow while we were there, so I felt our visit was complete. The highlight was our visit to Target in Niagara Falls. We need a Target in Toronto.
More to come on the job search.
