Immigration

(Random Photos: Jessie playing with her friend Sammie)

My visa papers have been mailed out and since I have been granted a bridging visa. This means that I can go to my wedding!

My bridging visa takes affect when my current visa expires on March 2nd. My bridging visa just allows me to stay in the country until my other visa is decided. Hopefully, it won't take too long to have that decision made. Once that visa is granted, it allows me to stay here in Australia for another 2 years and than we have to start the lovely process again....oh the joys of immigration.



Not much else is new over here. We had Thursday off and went out on a date. We went to a seafood restaurant and it wasn't good food at all. Very disappointing. Following dinner we went to a surf film festival which was great. They had a live musician who played the harmonica, drum, guitar and tambourine all at the same time. He was so good! A lot of his music was featured in the surf films.



The first film featured America surfer Jamie O'Brien and he was great. Incredible to watch the surf in some of the biggest waves in the world. The second film featured some unknown aboriginal australian surfers and it was good too. The quality of surfing wasn't near as good as the first one. But the did show dolphins surfing the waves and whales so I was happy :)




Since then we've both been working lots. We were both given Valentines Day off tomorrow so we will spend the day together. If its nice we'll go for a bikeride and do some exploring than Barney said he would cook me a nice dinner. No complaints there!

I have some thought swirling in my mind for a post about respect triggered by the surf film festival so that could be up next around here!

Until next time.....
