Senators announce 'major breakthrough' on immigration reform.

President Obama Speaks on Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Comprehensive Immigration Reform

            If you haven't heard, my friend come out from under your rock because big things are happening! Im not the best at organizing my facts and laying them all out in detail to explain everything but I will do my best. But for more specific info please join us at immigrate2us.net where they have everything you can think of. All week I have been glued to my computer and TV trying to get as much info as possible and for the first time since I got my ban, have hope that I may be able to go home a lot sooner!!! Above I have put the links to President Obama's speech on Tuesday, for the Senators, or gang of 8, as some call them on there plan for CIR. Today I watched a google+ hangout with Cecilia Munoz who is Director of Domestic Policy Council for the White House.

             For the last link they start talking 12 minutes in.Now is the time to act people! I have written to all 8 of the Senators, the President, my 2 Senators and plan to write to many more people. As Cecilia Munoz stated today, we have to keep the foot on the gas, we can't afford to take off any pressure now. We need to make this as personal as possible. Most of the Senators and Congressman/women just see these laws as just laws. We need to let them know that these broken laws have destroyed our lives, families and let them hear our voice. I have written my own personal story and have discussed in detail how these outdated, broken immigration laws have personally affected me. I am trying to make us 9c'ers ( the 10 year ban's) voice heard. Right now is the time to act because so far I have heard so many discussions on the millions of illegals in the USA but what about the ones who have played by the rules, and done things the legal way? I want to make sure that in any changes that occur these unjust bans are included!

           Feel free to just copy and paste this on your blog if you'd like. My goal is to try and get as many people as possible to see this and act now! I hope at least one person begins to write their Senators, Congressman/women, and President. I want nothing more than to be able to go home, and give the life my daughter deserves, now! Thanks everyone! :)

Lovely January

January has been great so far! If this year is anything like this month so far it's going to be amazing! On my last post I was talking about wanting a washer and that night my amazing hubby came home from work and surprised me with one! It's like brand new! He bought it off his co-worker for get this, $50 USD!! He got the green light when he passed so he didn't even pay taxes. We lucked out big time! My hubby is just so amazing and I had really only mentioned it to him maybe once or twice and not even a week later got me a washer! I really do love that man more then words could ever say! I also mentioned I wanted a few small things here and there and I got it all for Christmas. O, and Christmas was amazing! Thanks to so much love from all of my family my daughter got spoiled and my hubby and I got a few nice things as well. New Years was just spent here at home, my daughter fell asleep around 10 pm and it was just my hubby and I watching the countdown. For the first time in 2 years I got my New Years kiss and we watched fireworks from our window. Yesterday was my hubby's 3 months at his work, which means he passed his probationary period. I'm hoping for a raise but that would just be pushing it. Things are great as is! I also have a dryer now! It's the set with the washer, he bought it from the same guy for $50 and he got the green light home so another big thumbs up there. I just can't wait for taxes so we can pay all our debt off and finally get a bed. We decided to sell our things back home and just buy new stuff out here because my hubby works m-sat so he really has no time to drive out there and get them. As far as working out goes I was slacking during the holidays but this is my second week that I workout m-f. I am running a mile everyday and do about 35 minutes of different kinds of workouts. I'm trying to watch what I eat even more and I already feel way better. At my heaviest I was 9 months pregnant and weighed 232 lbs! My daughter was 5 months old when I began to workout and I weighed 210, now I'm at 165 and I want to loose about 20 more lbs and tone up. Here are some pics I took from last night. I am very happy with the progress I've made, I just need to keep it up and I'll be able to reach my goal I think by the end of the year! Have a blessed day everyone! :)
