It seems very alike to mine. My husband is american and I am, of course, brazilian. lol We got married in June 2010, and now We plan on moving to the States so He can joy the Airforce. I've been sourching everywhere for information and found a lot of useful about getting my IR1 visa. As We say here I'm already "vacinada" about some stuff as getting a lawyer, or starting the process in USA, but the big and as you said tricky part of the process for us is the financial part. My husband doesn't have incomes from the States since He lives here since He was 3. (His family are missionary here) I'd like your help if possible, I'd appreciate it. You can contact me at my email. Thank you, Bruna. Hi Tanya, I ramdomly found this page and read about your visa story. It seems very alike to mine.

My Portuguese teacher could not believe I said that! what, why? OK I see. To the guys credit he did not bat aneyelid and we moved on to his prize lettuces! I did not realise paõ also meant dick if not pronounce correctly - well you live and learn. LOL :) Cheers Piglet Hi,

I remember I told my husband I want to eat cachorro(what i really mean is I want to eat barbeque) and everybody was laughing at me.

]]> Comment on Cloth Diapering 101 in Brazil by victoria http://www.thelocal.com.br/2009/11/cloth-diapering-101-in-brazil/comment-page-1/#comment-206 victoria Thu, 13 May 2010 01:10:24 +0000 http://www.thelocal.com.br/?p=220#comment-206 Thanks for this post!! My brother-in-law is coming for a very short visit this weekend from Porto Alegre to the states. I'm starting cloth diapering in a few months for the first time. I'm super excited to hear that the covers are cheaper there. Can you recommend a certain brand and style for me to tell him to get? I live in the US, so line drying isn't a huge issue. I plan to line dry my covers and BGs, but it's not my main consideration. I want cute prints, though. That's key. And cost isn't an issue since I'm going to be saving anyway. Thanks again!!

I feel so bad that you have to leave your little cat behind... I'm really worried about having to do the same thing with my little cat when the time comes for us to leave... It will hurt and feel really sad in the beginning but I'm sure she really will be taken care of. It's not really consolation I realize... it's just a sad decision that had to be made. So crazy that you're moving back. When we spoke before, I completely gapped that during the time you are in Rio, my mom and sister are going to visiting us here too. I'm not sure that it will be possible for us to meet up for that drink. I'm very sorry about that. What a sad comment I'm writing for you - chin up - you'll have an excellent time in Rio and can get a fantastic tan (maybe even go for the best tan of your life) before you go back and all of your friends are jealous. (In a good way - I guess envious would be a better word). Take care and I keep blogging pleeeease!
