MARTIN GOT HIS WORK PERMIT 2DAY!!!

Today was a regular day, so while i was on the computer at like 4:30pm, Martin came RUNNING in through the back door, he had a huge grin on his face and im like 'what the hell is going on?!' then i seen he had the mail in his hand!

HE GOT HIS WORK PERMIT!!!!!! we were sooooooo excited!!! he looked like he was about to piss his pants LMAO! And there was also a letter stating that he has been approved for his I-765, which is his EAD (work permit). Im so happy he got it so quick!!!! he called Steve right away! Martin said that he was supposed to be off on Monday cuz of this certain job that he couldn't go to cuz martin still didnt have his work permit, so Martin called steve to ask if he can go monday and Steve was like Hell yah!! lol

So then Martin went to the DMV's office real quick before they closed (at 5pm) and he filled out some paperwork and he couldnt get his license re-newed! wanna know why?! CUZ HE FORGOT TO GET MONEY!!!! He had to pay $20 and he only had $10! ughhhhhhhh so that sucks, and the lady he talked to was a TOTAL BITCH! damn, i hate those rude ppl who work there, what gives them the right to treat ppl like pure shit? ugh anyways! I guess he'll go back on tuesday or something to go get it! So now all we are waiting for is an APPROVAL for his I-485, which is his GREEN CARD!!! Here is what has all happened for his AOS:

We've been waiting for awhile for this!!! And its been stressful as HELL! But its way worth it in the end!!!!

Okay, so tomorrow im going to my moms to see her, pop, joey and cassie will all be there too, i think its something my mom wants to do for joey for his bday. So that should be fun tomorrow, anything to get out of this house!! lol

We are still so freakin broke and its driving me crazy! In a few weeks, I am going to Nashville (god i cant wait!) and then the FOLLOWING day im going to Myrtle Beach (ahhhhhh) but i am soooooo BROKE!!! Okay, i did something a little crazy but i really think it will work out in the end, gosh i hope! Well on May 14th, there was a Pre-Sale for American Idol Live tickets and i woke up early in the morning to buy these tickets as soon as they went on sale! I bought 2 floor seats to the show in SAN DIEGO! I paid $175 and im hoping to at least double the money! Well the crazy thing is, i had only $7 in my account! So now im NEGATIVE $202, that is the tickets plus 1 overdraft fee which is $35. So if i double the money of what i paid for these tickets, i should be able to put the money back into my account and then still have money left over! If this works out, then im a genius!!! LOL if not, im a total idiot!
I'm also selling a few things on ebay, a lingerie outfit that i NEVER wore, well 2 actually, and a toy of allies, tumble tigger, whatever its called. I hope i can sell those and i really hope i can sell these American Idol tickets!! I need extra money for Nashville and Myrtle Beach! I need money soooooo bad!
Another thing that im irritated about it my tax money!! I still haven't gotten mine and im so scared that i wont be getting a check! I still owe my dad like $250, $200 is for the Carrie Underwood tickets and $50 is just from other little things i've bought. I hope i get that tax rebate check, or else that sucks so bad! I'm hoping to get $600, but even if its $300, its better than NOTHING!!

I put my video camera thats broke on ebay and it sold for $57!!! And its broke! haha I sold it AS-IS, so i guess this person will use it for parts or something, who knows. So with that money, i bought a Barbie ceiling fan for Allie, i didnt think i was going to win that on ebay but i did! I big $25 and thats all it is for the fan! Well besides $17 for shipping, but thats an awesome deal and its such a CUTE fan! It retails for $120 at Target, so i got a good deal!

Well i guess thats it, i thought i'd come and write about Martins work permit, i really dont want to forget this day and i want to talk about whats all going on with this process so i will remember it forever! lol yah im a nerrrrrd! haha

niiiiiiite!
