Confessions of a slow blogger

It has been a while since I have written. So much as happened! I have moved home...then moved into an apartment in Kalamazoo with Ashley. I have a job at Family Video as a manager in training. So things are looking up for Nahro and I! He leaves in a week to go visit his family before he moves over. I start my training tomorrow. I am so excited!! I have so many emotions going on! I have my job (yay!!) and Nahro is heading to Iraq (yucky). So now that I am settled I hope to be on here more! I will keep you all updated on my training and Nahro's visa process. Also pray for Nahro as he is in Iraq (I realize he will be in the northern part which is not as scary, but I am worried none the less) Have a good week!

P.S. Last night Ash and I went to see New Kids on the Block (Woo Woo!!!) It was AWESOME...once again!

Boredom...it never evades me

So Nahro is again at work at night (2:00pm-10:30pm, which means he leaves at 1:30 only to return at 11) I have to keep myself busy for that time and am not fairing so well. With all this time on my hands I keep thinking how I have to move, and leave my husband, in two weeks and get a job. It is driving me absolutely crazy! My mom tells me to pray about it...I do and instantly feel calmer...for 15 minutes. I realize I am going to miss England, though I simply refuse to live here again!

I have discovered, while at the grocery store, that I was completely under dressed. I like going out with out makeup on. Well going anywhere requires much effort to look good here. Not that it bothers me, its I have figured out I am most definitely American! I am sure not many Brits were glued to their tellies (as they call it) yesterday to watch a presidential inauguration. Look at me I am rambling. That's what happens when there is no one here to talk to. UNfortunatly I still have 2 1/2 hours of torture left! At least with all this free time I am getting a few job applications done on-line! Well I should do dishes! If you all could pray for me while I try and figure out my new situation I would greatly appericate it.

Have a good day!

You've got The Right Stuff

So I know I have written in a month...and there was A LOT going on, but my story today is about my totally awesome night last night.

I was feeling a little sleepy on the ride down and Nahro kept telling me that I didn't have to go. Is he crazy?!?! So it began to rain as I jumped out of the car (I should mention that I dropped my phone on the floor waiting for an angry return text from Ash) anyway I jumped out into the rain and into the National Indoor Areana (the NIA) once I got inside I realized that Nahro failed to give me my money...and I forgot to get my phone...on the floor of the car! Ugh! I sat in my seat (on the floor section) and debated what to do. I finally found a pay phone and called Nahro to return with my phone and some money. I had to wait 15 minutes in the rain for him. Not just any rain either it was blowing and cold. I was only wearing a light (super dee duper) light jacket. Once I hauled my cold and dripping body back into the areana I returned to my seat to wait for the opening act Chantelle. She sounded a lot like Rihanna (She is from Barbados as well).

As I was sitting there waiting I was begginging to feel a little sad that Nahro didn't come with me. Then the lights went down and I bagan to join in the thousands of other women screaming, they were my age-ish(really there weren't many kids there men were pretty non exsistant as well!) I was suddenly glad that no one was there to witness that. I was screaming like I was ten again and I don't think I couldn't let anyone I know see me like that, except my sisters...but they are just as crazy as me! In the middle they came to the center of the areana and I was like less than 50 feeet from them! My dreams came true! IT WAS AWESOME.

After the concert I once again had to sit in the rain. This time I was nearly there fro 30 minutes. I was riding on a high the whole way home...even though I was soaked to the bone. Thank heavens for my husband! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

The Areana where the concert was The opening song..."Single"
I just thought the photo was cool...though it is blurry
Yeah I was this close...how cool am I!

Have an awesome day!
