Okay...let's get in back in the swing of blogging, shall we?
In the past 4 months....I had 2 awesome weeks with Willemijn, driving halfway across the country whiling touring a few new cities....be in my best friend's wedding....move BACK in with my parents in January....continue to work 60+ hours at both jobs....and celebrate Chris's 32nd birthday.
Currently I've been struggling with the fact that I have no girlfriends he
re in Fayetteville. I think I got spoiled in Eindhoven with always having Sheritha, Willemijn, or a number of others always a phone call or short walk away! And before that....well....I lived in a building with over 200 girls. No shortage there. Now Chris is my only friend. Well...in 
the physical sense. Phone calls, emails, and seldom packages from friends in faraway places will keep me on a friend "high" for about a day. Then it's back to work trying to find activities to do with Chris that won't leave us broke. I can't exactly make a cup of tea and sit with Chris for hours a day....talking about everything and nothing...and leave him feeling fulfilled. The idea of it makes me laugh. Yet that's how some my most precious friendships were formed.

Yet that's how some my most precious friendships were formed.It is just shy of 11 months since I left Eindhoven. And there are still some days I cry as I did walking in the airport on April 3, 2007. When does it stop?

I miss hanging out with you Amber!
I might be living in a dorm with 200 girls right now! But it's not the same as hanging out with you!!! You always put a big smile on my face! I love you so much!
I miss you soooo much too!
I hate that I'm not there to hang out with you!!!
I think about our time together all the time!! I'll start calling you more often! (after we've fixed the phone line..one of the rabbits bit it...)
Love you!!!

figuring out how to live in a 'foreign' country is hard, as we both know. regarding making new friends, try what you did in eindhoven or okc: clubs, cafes, knitting circles, photography class, gym. i hope life is going quite well otherwise. drop me a line sometime.
