This is where I thought we would be this month. ✈️ After 8 months of waiting, we were finally going to be heading to America in August or September. ⠀
⠀
But we all know that 2020 hasn’t gone how anyone planned (or could ever imagine). Within months of scheduling our final interview, the embassy in Nicaragua closed, and we have no idea when it is opening again. 😞⠀
⠀
Even after it opens, we’ve been told to expect several months of backed-up visa processing before we can reserve our interview. ⠀
⠀
We are in limbo. So many things we are waiting to do - buy books, furniture, a dog. Always thinking about what we can’t take with us. Yet, we are not going anywhere any time soon, either! It’s a major case of, “when will my life begin?”⠀
⠀
I’ve learned to practice gratitude every day. We are healthy and safe. We are together. You learn to value what matters. ⠀
⠀
Thanks for letting me rant a bit. Just wanted to update you all our 90 Day Fiancée drama here in Nicaragua. 😉⠀
⠀
Which of your plans have been derailed for 2020? Let’s have a bitch fest in the comments lol 😂

You’ve heard of Granada, Spain... Now get ready

You’ve heard of Granada, Spain...
Now get ready for Granada, Nicaragua! 🇳🇮

There’s much to love about this picturesque coastal city - from the colorful colonial architecture to the sound of marimbas in the central plaza. You can spend the morning exploring the Islas by boat and the afternoon exploring the cobblestone streets by horse and carriage.

Don’t miss the delicious seafood dishes and traditional Nicaraguan beer. 🍺😁 Out of all Granada has to offer, what sounds most appealing to you?

As a Leo rising 🦁 I make no apologies for lovin

As a Leo rising 🦁 I make no apologies for loving my birthday and being the center of attention - at least, for just one day 😉 So grateful for all the wonderful people I have met through Instagram this year. You mean so much to me. To friends old and new...and to 28! 🥂 ✨ 🎉

Despite all the shitty circumstances, I can’t li

Despite all the shitty circumstances, I can’t lie. It’s not bad to quarantine in the Caribbean 😉☀️🌊 Where are you chilling these days?

✨ AMAZING NEWS! ✨ ⁠ ⁠ As many of you know,

✨ AMAZING NEWS! ✨ ⁠
⁠
As many of you know, @jeysondonayres and I have been awaiting news about our fiancée visa application for entry to the US since December. The average processing time at US Citizenship and Immigration Services is 5-8 months. ⁠
⁠
On June 3rd, we finally received an update:⁠
⁠
Our application has been APPROVED! ⁠
⁠
We are over-the-moon excited, even though there's more waiting to come. The biggest thing that needs to happen is that the American Embassy here in Nicaragua needs to open in order for use to have the entry interview. ⁠
⁠
With any luck, we could be moving before the end of summer! ⁠
⁠
Thanks for any good vibes you can send our way. 😘

✨ NICARAGUA ✨ ⁠ ⁠ Ya'll...I'm not even HAL

✨ NICARAGUA ✨ ⁠
⁠
Ya'll...I'm not even HALFway through with my Europe pics, but now that we've been home for three months, it feels like time to move on! ⁠
⁠
This is the famous Somoto Canyon, and it's literally across the street from where my boyfriend grew up! He used to be a tour guide for canyon tours, so I always get the full experience when we go!⁠
⁠
The hike is about 4-5 hours and you have to swim through several stretches! The crystal clear waters are so refreshing as the morning heats up. ⁠
⁠
Somoto was the first place I visited in Nicaragua five years ago and the place where I met my sweetheart. Even though we live in the capitol now, four hours south, this beautiful mountain town holds a special place in my heart. ⁠
⁠
Where's your second home?

✨ UNABASHED HISTORY NERD POST ✨ ⁠ ⁠ When I

✨ UNABASHED HISTORY NERD POST ✨ ⁠
⁠
When I was 10, I picked up the fictionalized diary of a young Queen Elizabeth I and read it cover to cover under my blanket with a flashlight. The next day, I read it again. And the day after that, another time. I renewed that book for as many weeks as the library would let me because I couldn’t stop reading it (also probably because I was only allowed to watch 30 minutes of TV a day lmao.) ⁠
⁠
I was hooked by the secrets of the Tudor family, the temper of King Henry VIII (also his seriously unhealthy lifestyle 😂), Ann Boleyn’s treacherous rise and fall of good graces, Elizabeth’s tumultuous relationship with her sister Mary, the subsequent wives of the king, and the splendor of the palaces and feasts. And even though my love for historical fiction took me across many eras and countries, I always came back to the Tudors and my favorite red headed princess, Elizabeth. ⁠
⁠
So whenever the question came up, “if you could travel anywhere, where would you go?” my answer was always London. I wanted to see where my favorite dysfunctional royal family lived and breathed. Now that I’ve made so many English friends over the years, my childhood dream seems kind of silly to say out loud 😜 but it’s mine! And all our childhood dreams are special - even more so when they come true. 💕 ⁠
⁠
What’s a place that history made special for you?

What's your favorite weather? Mine is definitely rainy which I attribute to the fact that my home city of Denver gets 300 days of sun a year. Let's not even talk about the tropical heat here in Nicaragua! 😓 I'm really needing some clouds on my horizon, how about you?
