Wow!

I cannot believe that I've been here for like 3 weeks now! I am settling in just fine. Initially, I was having second thoughts about coming here and joining the foreign service. But others have reached out to me and have made it so much more bearable. It makes a huge difference if you can tell me where to buy certain items, if you're telling me not eat items that are locally made. Yet, I digress.

We had Thanksgiving dinner over at a coworkers house and it was pretty good. I was very thankful for the company and the food. The boys seemed to have a great time as well. It made me miss my fam back in Michigan but what can you do. I remember on certain holidays, I would cook and have everyone over to my tiny townhouse and we'd just kick it. I miss those days.

Well, I just have to start new traditions now and have those memories with others. It seems difficult because my husband is always somewhere else than where we are but...anyway.

I only have motor pool for free for another week or so, I'm going to try to fit everything in as much as I can because I'll have to pay for it in the future. It seems a little backwards because there's no way I could've shipped my car from DC in ample time to have it reach here after arriving at post for a month. But hey, I'm going to make the best of it.

Sooo, my husband will be here for Christmas! I'm excited about seeing him and hopefully being able to spend some time with him. But usually that never really happens too much. We shall see how it goes this time.
