Manila

Well, we are finally in Manila. we arrived her on thursday, and Vernie had her medical exam on friday. we had to go back on monday, but she passed and we are all ready for our interview at the U.S. Embassy on this friday. Vernie is a little nervous, but i feel confident that all with go well. thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.
The weather in manila is great right now. it's not hot at all, and it's even a little chilly at night. (well chilly for us) i dare say, i think we will be quite shocked by the weather in CA when we arrive in March.

Things are going well here. we are planning to move back in with Vernie's parents this weekend. we are sad to leave our apartment, but happy to be spending more time with mama and papa.
Vernie is really feeling the effects of the first trimester. she doesn't throw up but she feels nausious all day. there are a few other common issues, but she is hanging tough.
we head off to Manila in one week for our interview. lots going on.
