So I finally got ahold of the consulate for Belgium here in California about this whole visa thing. I felt like the lady was annoyed with all my questions I kept emailing, but I needed to ask them. I want to make sure I have all the proper documents so I won’t be deported or anything crazy. This morning I think we finally got everything set and I am on the prowl for my documents. Since I have my list my mom and I started with getting my fingerprints for my FBI Criminal Record search, which I have no record. My favorite thing about this trip was the guy couldn’t pronounce my name and then while he is doing my fingerprints he says to me, “You are good at this, have you been fingerprinted before?” Like I am some criminal or something. Yes I have been fingerprinted once before, but never for breaking the law or anything, it was for some simple paperwork that needed to be done for a job. Next up going to the county building and getting a copy of my birth certificate.
Today was also a day of last minute plans. A friend of mine won tickets to a Lady Gaga concert tomorrow. Someone else was going with her, but that girl couldn’t so therefore I get to go. I am excited because I really want to enjoy my last few months here in California. I will be in Belgium sooner than I know it and I really just want to break free and have some fun before I am a married lady taking care of a home in Belgium. That is something else I learned. I will be a housewife for a bit because I won’t be able to work immediately until I can get everything done for a work permit which can take months. I think Andy Cohen from Bravo should cast me in a new housewife show…The Real Housewives of Europe or just Belgium…I like it! This journey is taking a new shape nearly every day and I am as scared as I am excited.
