Mayerlin and I have been enjoying our time together since she arrived feb 14th. we plan on getting married the 1st week of april just a court house procedure then a big fiesta when she allowed to travel down in santo domingo. the biggest change for me is how much toilet paper to buy lol! it is great to have home cooked meals and a spotless house! she wants to work so that will come with the SS card and then will be the challenge of teaching her the bus system here in miami and then to drive...so all is well so far!
