Well, here we are, halfway through January and I haven't posted. The holidays were bad. Younger daughter is in California so I am alone in the house, so there was no one to distract me from the "oh, boo hoo my hubby isn't here yet" self pity. So Christmas and New Years were pretty much a cry fest for me. Here in the Midwest our winters can be brutal, but this year is amazingly mild. My hubby says it's cold in Europe. I've pretty much recovered from the self-pity and just gone on to highs and lows of "I'm sooo happy" to "let me go bang my head on the wall because he's not here yet". We knew we were in for a long separation but "knowing" and "doing" are two different things. The Immigration website says 5 months before they get to the next step. I hope he's here before our 1st anniversary. If anything, this process makes the honeymoon last a loooong time (smiles).
Below is a photo of the street in Prishtina, Kosovo where we walked together for 6 weeks (well, minus the week we spend in Albania). My hubby took this on a foggy night on December 15, 2011. See the red cross on top of the building? I am constantly amazed that a Muslim-majority nation displays so many Christian symbols, openly celebrates Christmas, and no one complains!!
This picture was taken Christmas night. This is Mother Teresa Boulevard in downtown Prishtina.
And I wanted to share a blog with you. One Smile Journey. This is a blog by a guy from the Netherlands who has decided to hitchhike around the world. It's amazingly fascinating because he talks and stays with the locals, so he sees people and their countries from a different perspective. There is no glossed -over tourism here, just honest "what I see is what I write" stuff. I love it!!! On the right side-bar are the Categories, or actually, his journey starting from 00. Preparations to present. My favorites are Kosovo of course! I had many "omg I was there!!!" moments looking at his photos.
Well, that was my break. Now back to work!
