Finally we have Internets in our apartment, finally!

I can now write freely again & fill you all in on everything that’s been going on – even if that isn’t actually very much, other than settling into our new surroundings – which by the way, is off the awesomeness scale to say the least.

I’m telling you, this guy could not have found us a better place to live – especially for the money! This sure is a rare gem.

What else, what else..

I’m still shaken by the whole Immigration thing. Bottom line now is that I cannot come back here without my K1 (the Fiance Visa) which a) Costs money & b) Gives us a mere 90 days to do the deed.

You could say, like that son of a bitch actually did, that they “are happy for me to marry an America citizen” but what they don’t want, is for me to take my time in making such a huge decision. No, it must be rushed & unsure right?

Basically, I’ll leave here on the 10th of February not knowing when I will be back. It’s not going to be a matter of weeks, that’s for sure. It could be 8 months at worse. It all depends on those guys at the Embassy but more importantly, myself & the road I choose to take.

However, with this in mind, I embark on the three months ahead taking nothing, not even the crisp 30F for granted. And the last twelve days? They’ve been awesome. I feel so at home here. I’m confident & comfortable. Something that takes a great deal of time & effort for me.

We went to the Dizzy Wizz round the corner for lunch today & sat at the counter – old school I know. The food was good but the banter was even better. It felt great to feel so at home in a place which used to be so…foreign. Needless to say, our new neighborhood is pretty great.

Tomorrow I’ll have my first Thanksgiving over here. This time last year the two of us were bitterly disappointed after believing for months that we would see the holidays in together but alas, such is life.

We’re off to Bear’s sisters for the feast – which I’ve been saving all week for!! It’ll be a busy house, no doubt full of hyperactive children but I’m sure I’ll fit right in on that one

Also, I do hope my abuser enjoyed his last weekend of freedom – the police will be knocking on his door by the end of this week with a bit of luck!

Anyhoo, now that my tater-tots are done (diets always start tomorrow) I bid you goodnight & a very happy Thanksgiving!! Enjoy!
