Ecuador Jan 2011 Cont...

Sorry Its been a long time since I wrote in here. I have been doing many things and been sick alot since we have gotten back from Ecuador. So anyways to make a long story short we hung around Ecuador and got to see alot of things that we did not see before. I feel that our trip down in Ecuador got jiped because of the flights and my things were not there most the time we were down there. I hope that he will be able to come home soon. It really is hard here without him and sucks not living my life because he is not here. I just wish that Panama would say Hey Jill your husband can come home now go get him lol that would be a dream come true! Feel like I have been waiting my whole life for him to come home. I almost dont even remember what a normal life is like. That's super sad to say! It has been 1135 days since Rogelio has been home here and almost 9 months since according to Panama the wavier has been filed. Even though we filed a few months before that they did not get in there system right away???? Idk...anyways every time we contact Panama they say still pending still pending I do not want to hear that it is still pending i want to hear GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY ROGELIO! That would be more like it for me. but I don't know if I have already wrote this or not because I blab alot when I write lol ..but Panama also said that the letter they sent us said 8-10 months and they are more like on the 11th month end of things. If that is the case that means in May he should be able to come home? I really hope so.....actually I pray everyday that its more like tommw but we can only hope....when hope is lost what is there????? I really hope he can come home soon....the kids are really hurting because he is not here. My older son really shows to me that he is sad and depressed that his dad is not here...Its so hard on him...I try and not show its so hard on me in front of him but its so hard. At times that I cry and he sees me he comes and hugs me and says mom lay down and hugs me and tells me its going to be ok papi is going to be home soon and he would not like to see you cry don't be sad...Its cute and funny at the same time because thats alot of the same stuff I say to him when hes sad...Gosh I love my husband and my sons so much! Honey i hope you can come home soon! I am soooo in love with you and our family that we made! I just want us to all be happy together again and be a real family! Please pray for us!<3

Ecuador Jan 2011

So yep we went to Ecuador...it was our two sons and my mom and dad oh yeah and me! lol...It was problems from the start...

So our flight went to Chicago witch we never have taken this way before but we did and our fight got delayed going to Chicago because they had so much snow over there..we waited and waited to be able to take off finally we were able to take off. For some reason the flight seemed like it was taking forever! Then they announced that we were going to fly around in the sky for a while yeah like a hour! So that Chicago could plow there runways! so around and around we went yeah so much fun when your flight seems like it was already taking forever! so finally we landed in Chicago! yay I was so happy to be there we knew that we were going to have to run to get to our connecting flight to Miami Florida! so it was only like a gate away witch was nice...so we thought!...we got to the gate and they would not let us in the plane!!!! IT WAS RIGHT THERE I COULD SEE IT! but they said the doors were already shut and no one else was allowed in. So because of snow in Chicago they made us miss our Miami flight! Grrrr!

So the lady that told us that we could not get onto the flight for Miami Florida made me really Angry! Since I knew it was going to be longer until I got to see my husband! Also she was not very nice to us at all! So she told us that we could use there phones to rebook our flight! Um yeah how about talking to a real person! Nope they did not have that! grrr!!! So we went over to the phones and talked to the person about re booking our flight the only thing that they could come up with was making us go to Miami then Peru! really Peru! So we had no other choice but to take it...so we had to go and get our new tickets so we waited in line and when it was are turn guess what they changed ticket Lady's and guess who we got??? It was the lady who told us that we could not get onto our flight for Miami Florida! Grrr...so she took a life time printing out our tickets and having seats together and everything so then we got to get in line for our flight to Miami Florida....so we thought....

In line when they check your tickets and passports well dumb lady who we so did not like had gave us one of the wrong tickets! Grrrr... so we were like the last people on the flight because we had to wait well the dumb lady came over and tryed to fix what she did wrong! Grrrr....problems after problems! so they got everything figured out and we got onto our flight only to find out that there was people in our seat! Of coarse they did not speak English! Thank God I speak Spanish! so we looked at there tickets and to find out that was there seats too! but the airplane worker came over and asked to look at the other paper they had in there hand and it was a paper saying that they had changed there seats they did not understand English so I told them what was going on and then they thanked me and moved on there way...well at least we got our seats! lol...Girl sitting in front of me still had a staring problem and guy down row from me smelled of too much perfume! lol.

So we got to Miami! Oh yeah did I say that my sister Crystal saved us so much!? So we had booked some hotels for when we got into Ecuador to sleep there...and let me tell you they were not cheap hotels! We had 3 of them! One for Rogelio and my self and the kids another for my parents and another for Rogelio's brother wife and daughter. We still needed 1 hotel because Rogelio and His brother's family needed to sleep in town...but we needed to cancel the other two! Um did I tell you that it was non refundable? yeah well they were and I knew that! lol....but my sister being super women how she is spent a very long time talking to person after person about getting our hotel canceled and not having to pay for it and she did it! Yay for super great sister!!! Reminds me of the song super women by Alica keys! lol...Thanks Crystal you helped out alot!!!

So after My sister saved our butts we have arrived in Miami Florida...we had to go and get our tickets to Peru and Ecuador we waiting in line forever! Kids are hungry and crabby and tired!:( When I say we waited in line forever I mean forever! we had to run to our next flight and I mean run! Lets just say all of these airports are not small at all and when you have to run across from one end to the other it is not fun!! Let alone with 2 small children and your mom and dad...witch dad thinks he lost the tickets and has to take a million things out of his bag to check and see if he has the tickets! lol come on dad.... lol...so we made it just in time to our flight to Peru! We got on with not much problems at all..

I think that our flight to Peru was 6 1/2 hours long! by far the longest flight I have ever taken! let alone with 2 small children. So both my kids sat with me on the flight. We were the last seats in the plane all the way in the back! We sat in the middle seats witch there was 3 seats together so that was good! Miguel our youngest fell asleep almost right away! Thank God! lol...Then we all had our own TVs in front of us witch was super nice they had a map of where we were and how long till we are there and weather and so on..Then they had tuns of new movies that just came out! and tuns of games for kids and tv shows they had it all really nice plane! so Most the time I was playing games with Antonio or trying to watch my movie witch I almost finished it was only a 2 hour movie but when you have kids its hard! lol...I also got to chat with the girl that sat near me and she was American who lives in Peru! She had two kids and was prego with her 3rd she told me that her kids all spoke Spanish and go to Spanish schools...it was interesting to hear a bit about Peru since I had never had interest in that country before. So dealing with two kids on a 6 1/2 hour flight was bad! crazy but ended up not being as bad as I thought since one of them was sleeping almost the whole time.. The hard part was staying awake and it was about 4:30am when we were flying over where we should have been sleeping in Ecuador! yeah Peru if you look at the map comes after Ecuador! lol Crazy!

So we got to Peru safe and sound! For now lol...we had a few hours in Peru until our flight took off to Ecuador...we were all tired and hungry and crabby! We really did not find any food to eat in Peru but chips and candy they had sandwiches but did not look good to eat! So I spent alot of money In Peru did I tell you that a small chip can was $3.00 American money?? Yeah fricken crazy! Oh what was that you want a water? Oh ok that will Just be $3.50! oh you want your change of .50cents? no way how about some gum? no gum well no change? yeah that's how they play it there! lol

So I bought some smokes for my brother and sister in law in Peru super cheap I got 3 10 box for less then a American price of a regular 1o box! I payed there money of $145.00 lol..super cheap! So I wanted to make sure that I called Rogelio and told him what was going on and that I made it to Peru safe! So I used my credit card and called him on the payphone they said it was going to be .50cents a min well I was on no longer then 3 mins..when I got home to find out they charged my bank hundreds of dollars! nice try! lol...So I also used my moms credit card to pay for the phone call to my sister Crystal to tell her we got there safe and to update the family i was only on for like 2 mins and charged my mom around $50.00 when we got home we found out but it was only supposed to be .50 cents a min...lol yeah right...

So My dad fell a sleep in the airport and so did my mom and Our son Antonio so that just left myself and Miguel up...I had to watch the bags and Miguel...thank god for toys candy and color books and chips lol because that's what he did for a few hours along with walking around! lol....
We got onto our flight for Ecuador everything went fine no problems there. We landed in Ecuador and I tryed to use my phone like I set up through the phone company to use in Ecuador and yeah did not work so I could not even call Rogelio to say hi Honey we will see you in a few mins! Grrrr...

So we had to get off our flight and get our suitcases! In Peru they said for sure that they would be in Ecuador and that they were in Peru or something like that. So waiting for suitcases for a while even rented carts for our suitcases and they did not come! Grrr...we had to then go and file a report that our suitcases are missing that took a while and once we got that done we could see my hubby the boys father at last!!! Yay I see Rogelio! We got together and the boys hugged him and kissed him and soooooo did mama! :) It felt sooooooooooooooooo good to be in his arms again! I cant even explain to you how good it felt! I was in love all over again! <3 We walked around the airport trying to talk to different people about our suitcases because Rogelio said lets just ask more people and they all said the same thing...we got in our taxi van and drove away....I will cont.....later:)

Ecuador Yay!

So I have not wrote in this blog for a long time so I thought it was time to update it. Rogelio is still in Ecuador well we wait for him to come home:( That is something that is not good at all. He should be home already! for Real panama Cant you already just approve him to come home?

Panama has his paper work now and we are just waiting on them to approve the waiver. I really hope that its approved soon! It should have been approved by now. My lawyer and another person who has been helping us both wrote panama and they said they still do not have a answer yet! This is crazy! He should be home.

We all miss Rogelio so much I can't wait for him to be home already! I just want a normal life with him and not to worry about him all the time. Our kids miss him so much. He is missing out on there lifes everyday that he is gone. It has been so hard on him also not being here.

Well some good news is that we are going to Ecuador soon! We bought our tickets and we are packing already! I can't wait to see Rogelio! Our sons are super happy that we are going down there. Well I am so stoked! The thing is thou I do not want to have to go down there I want him to be able to come home to us! At least this will have to due for now. At least we can hold eachother and talk face to face and spend time together like normal people do when they are married! It still makes me sad that I will not be able to keep my time forever with him! But who knows maybe we will get the news when we are down there that he is able to come home?? you hear that Panama! Please let him come home with us when we leave Ecuador! The time goes by so fast when we are there! I hate that I want to spend alot of time with him like my whole life! Not just a week!

I hate that our phone calls are short and always get cut out because of the phone lines! Also for me to be able to talk to him I have to like call 10 times before it goes threw! Thats calling the calling card entering your pin then calling his long ass number! Grrrr...its hard when you have kids that are wild in the background when you talk on the phone with him also! I just want to be able to be with him forever!

I know I blab alot but gezzz just my thoughts! Please pray that he will be able to come home with us when we visit Ecuador! Thanks for listening to me:)

Update...Where are we?

So we are unsure on where we are standing right now with our immigration case...alot has happen since I wrote here last...
we got a e-mail from Ecuador saying that our case was fwwd to Panama In Washington D.C. and to check with them on the stats of the case.

So are lawyer wrote Panama in D.C. Washington...before we got a response from them I got a letter in the mail from them saying that something on one of the forms that we turned in was not signed correct...go figure something has to go wrong every time...it always happens to Rogelio and I. So long story short..we sent paper e-mail to Rogelio in Ecuador and he signed it and brought to place in Ecuador....so in the letter that I got from Panama they said that our case was fwwd to the Dept of State...we are unsure where the case stands right now...but the dept of state is Panama...so it dose not all match up....so we are trying to figure out what is going on from here on and where the case is....I am sure that we will find out soon. So mean time it is another waiting game...Hope things change soon...Rogelio has been having a feeling that he is going to be able to come home very soon...I have that same feeling...I went shopping a bit...I bought Rogelio some clothes and things so when he comes home he will have things...he has some things here but most his things he brought down to Ecuador...alot of his clothes are bad because they have got so dirty or old down there....it has been 833 days since he has been gone. I can't wait Intel he is able to come home and for us to all be a happy family again!!! Antonio feels his dad is going to be home soon also...that has to be some kind of sign right? Please pray for us...I love you all! I will try and keep things updated on here:)

8 Months????

So I have sort of an update on somethings....I talked to my Lawyers assistant today on the phone...I was calling her to see if they called Ecuador to check up on the stats of Rogelio's case...she told me that they did not use the pin number and they e-mailed Ecuador because they did not want to use my min's on my pin number.....Um hello that's why I got the pin number in the first place is for them to use it...I do not know why they did not just write a e-mail in the first place....they are the ones who told me to buy the pin number and that is the way they check on things...ummm...actually they could have e-mailed the whole time...odd...anyways so she sent the e-mail to Ecuador and we have to wait up to 2 weeks to get a response from them...they will be telling my lawyer's when they sent the paper work off to Panama...we filed the papers in Ecuador in January of 2010...so...

My lawyer's said depending on when they actually sent the paper work out to Panama...then we will know aprox when he will be able to get approved...but here is the thing she told me that it most likely will take a min of 8 months from the date they sent the paper work to panama!!!!! That is so crazy!!! When I heard 8 months I almost cried!! That is not some thing that I want to hear after I have been waiting this long!!! Then she told me that she thinks it will be 15 Months max!!! Are you crazy are you out of your mind!!! That is so long!!! WTF!!! Really???? Do you guys want me to die before I can actually have a real life with my husband and kids and be in a real frame of mind????

So I am not sure what I am going to do about all this...I don't think I am going to do anything intel I hear from my lawyers within two weeks here...so I will be freaked out in the mean time...I also have another person working on some things...I can not say the name of the person but someone else is checking on things with my husband so we will see how all that goes and see what she also says...

I hope I hear at least some good new's from one of the people...I am thinking about getting other people involved but the only thing with that is alot of people do not like to get involved when other party's are already working on some things...but we will see how things go for these two weeks.

I really do want to go down to Ecuador to be with Rogelio but I have to think of everything before I just make a jump and do that...Like I said before...the kids come first right now because Rogelio and I have to do what is best for them...we will see how everything turns out.

Miguel turns 3 this month....Rogelio really wishes that he could be here for his birthday..it is really hard on the kids and I and more harder on Rogelio not to be here. As he always tells me what if I was to have the kids down here and you were alone over there....would you feel lost and lonely? I always say yes! I do not know what I would do without Rogelio and the kids not here..

Antonio tells me all the time that he wants to go live with papi...I always tell him I am sorry but you can not you need to wait for him to come home...he still dose not fully understand but he will one day that we kept him in America for the best for him.

Well enof of me blabing on...I will update you guys soon on more things that go on tommw is Rogelio's birthday....I am sad that I am not with him!! Happy 1 day early Birthday honey I love you more then the whole world! Te Amo Mucho!!!!!

Still on the waiting page of life:(

So nothing new as of right now to really update people for....but thought that I should write on here anyways. Antonio had his spring vacation we did do a lot of things then just sit around the house and read ....lol...we actually left the house and did things....my niece came over for a few days also and that was nice to see her...even though we tried to get her to go on web cam and see her dad she was too shy...her dad was upset and still dose not understand why she was acting the way that she was acting....

I understand why she was acting that way well almost understand but what I get from it is...shes 13 years old she is a teenager...you can't tell them everything to do because they will not listen they have to want to do it on there own. She loves her father and wants to see him but she wants to see him in person....I know that she still dose not understand about the whole immigration system even though she tells me she understand she is still a teenager and it is going to take her years to fully understand...A big reason that she was shy was that there was other family members there that she dose not know that much only from talking to on the computer a bit and she feels odd having everyone look at her on cam. She has not seen her father in person for about 5 years now because he was deported years back... he has tried to come back a few times only reason is to be here with his daughter but he got caught all the times he had tried. It has been really hard for him to live without his daughter...I hear about it all the time.....I wish that she would have been able to go with us when we went to Ecuador but her mom had not took the steps to get her passport so she was not able to go....passports seems easy to get right? nope not when you are under 18 and one parent is not in the country....but it can be easy....you have to get a paper from the passport place and have the parent out of country fill it out notarize it and send it back when you get it back then you have to take it to the passport place and file for a passport....after the person out of country has signed it and sent it back go right away to the passport place because there is a time line that the paper that was signed is good for.

I guess it is just harder for some people to do. Everyone is different I guess....so on another note Rogelio has been keeping his mind on other things like helping his brother out and doing things to help people down in Ecuador....along with fishing and hunting alot:) He would love to hunt when he comes back here because that is something that he has done alot of since he has been down there:)

Rogelio has been telling me how much it is raining down there and it makes him almost miss the snow....he is not much of a rain person:) I think it dose it for you when you all winter are in rain not snow...very different when you were used to snow for over 16 years and then go from snow to rain....lol...

It is very much the baby boom in Ecuador....seems like everyone lately is having babys!! So crazy! Rogelio will be sending me photo's from Ecuador soon....I can't wait to see them:)

I really hope that Rogelio is able to come home soon...Still a waiting game....I wish that he would be able to come home next week sometime....I really miss him and I know that he misses us. The kids need there father here and it has very much affected Antonio with all things...only because Rogelio is not here...a growing boy needs his father here.....Love you all take care I will keep updates when I have them:) Pray that Rogelio can come home soon!!<3

Dreams,Real,waiting....

So Yeah I have not wrote on my blog for a bit now...there has been alot going on in my life....first of all I have been sick alot more these past days...Antonio has gotten sick a few times....missed alot of doc's appointments...now we have to wait another month to get other ones:( Miguel has had a cold and cough that has stuck around:( Guess what????? Someone stolid My S.S. # and has been working with it! Yeah really crazy! I really hope they get the person who did this to me:( Makes me Angry and sad at the same time!

So I have been threw alot with my S.S. # being used...spent so many hours if not days working on getting things straight with it all and I am still not done! Grrrr Drives me nuts...seems like all the things that could go wrong has gone wrong with things:(

I had a Dream the other night....I dream that I picked up Rogelio from the airport because he was finally able to come home....to make a long dream short.....then we got all of our things together and then we ended up at a party....a party someone was having because Rogelio was finally Home!!! All of our friends and family was there...Rogelio and I were holding eachother and finally together Happy! It felt soooo good....Then I woke up:( I was so sad:( That sucks! I wish that my dream will come true....

On another note...Rogelio saw his other son...his son that is in Ecuador that he has never met before.....the women he had his son with did not want anything to do with us at all....we bought him some things before and send him stuff but not nearly enof that a father should have been sending a son....his mother would not let us....trying to contact her over the years have been so hard....we have not been able to...we have tryed so hard.....a few years ago we found out that she came and is still in the U.S.A. we were never able to contact Rogelio's son nor her...her family did not want us to contact them nor did they care about what we wanted....Rogelio was in town last week and saw him...he saw his son...he did not go up to him he did not talk to him...but he knew it was him...from photo's that we have saw...less then a week ago Rogelio's son contacted Rogelio's sister....he wants to meet his dad...I guess that his mothers father is who he is staying with...and his grandpa is really mean to him and there are alot of problems there....not the most perfect time for his son to come into our life's but I want Rogelio to finally meet his son...he has never meet him...so we are waiting for Rogelio's son to contact his sister again..because he has no phone number....then we will see what go's on. I just hope that everything go's well...

So we are still waiting on Rogelio to be able to come back home....no word yet...no update...just a waiting game! This is so crazy....there are days that I wake up and want to jump on a plane to Ecuador and there are days I don't want to get out of bed at all....I just want Rogelio back here so we can be a family again and start our life out fresh! I love Rogelio with all my heart and soul...<3 you Rogelio!!!!
