I made it.
I am home with my family. It feels so surreal… but good! Very good :) I just wanted to let you know. I’ve been up for 34 hours. I seriousy need to get some sleep. Hopefully it was worth it to stay up and go to bed at regular bed...

I am leaving…
… in less than 24 hours. This is so surreal. I think I have pretty much everything packed and hope that I didn’t forget anything. J and I had a pretty nice weekend… we went shopping once more on Friday [I needed a new suitcase, because the ones that I...
It’s always like that before the holidays
The last few days have been c-r-a-z-y at work. I am trying to get some stuff done before I leave and I’ve put in quite a bit of OT. But, who cares when you will be off for about 2,5 weeks and get to see your family in 5 (!) days?...

I am a Resident Alien
This is the official term of my legal status in the US. Sounds lovely, huh? It always makes me think of little green men [or women] and X-Files :) Due to the Thanksgiving-weekend-with-Kim-excitement, I totally forgot that November, 22nd marked the first anniversary of my immigrating to the US and...
Always too short…
Remember this post that I wrote not too long ago? I can only say, once again, good times always go by way too quickly. The last two days with Kim and C were a blast. You probably want to know on which exciting adventures we went on Saturday and Sunday, but...
