FM3 Progress

Just got word from our neighbor (the one helping us with our immigration documents) that there has been some progress on our FM3's. She says they have initial approval but are just waiting for our "basic file", which she will then present to a judge for final red tape approval. This friday we have appointments to have our photos and fingerprints taken at the immigration office. These are to be used in our FM3!!! Then... within about 2 weeks we should have our official documents... with authority to work as photographers in Mexico!! Whoohoo! So exciting... Can't wait!! Keep in mind... we're not sure how much of this message was lost in translation. This is what we understood from her... until we get our documents we just really can't be sure whats going on.

Still trying to get confirmation that our mortgage has been transferred to the builder.... I won't celebrate that win until I know they have the cash.

Oh, also.... power is supposedly pretty expensive here. Can get upto about 700 bucks per two months if you run your air alot in the summer. Turns out our first bill is 38 pesos. Aka... 3 Canadian dollars. Checked out the meter today and the dial to keep track of our usage isn't turning..... We'll be crossing our fingers that it takes a while for them to figure it out..... Feels like a little swine flu gift for us. Thanks Mexico!
