BFF

january 17th, 2010

i am taking a tip from a fellow blogger and delving into something more honest than just where we have been and what exotic location we are going to next... although stay tuned for cedu, philippines on chinese new year. lane... i am taking your lead, although i would settle for just a baby than a fibroid, and the gender wouldn't matter so much to me (i admire your honesty)...

tonight... my bestfriend left for china (ya ya ya i know... mushy gushy stuff) but honestly, i never thought our relationship could have gotten stronger than after going through are very tension filled wedding and a tumor baby. but as many challenges we are faced with... we just keep getting closer. i know you are thinking... isn't that what is suppose to happen? doesn't this happen for everyone? you never really realize it unless you look back, unless you appericate, and unless you are faced with challenges that are bigger than yourself.

don't get me wrong, i always knew that we would prevail, i always had faith... i mean you have to inorder to pick up everything you have known, worked for, loved, (hell the comfort factor)... and move half way around the world with someone... i look back, i mean WAY back... to college, we were so different then. so young. so naive. so passionately in love that it was hurting us. (ok... i am making myself sick)

point being... this leap of faith, this idea of an adventure, this "your only young once and now is the time to travel"... i couldn't have picked a better person to share my life with.

you ask... what brings all this on? well... when your husband realizes one day that "you really are my bestfriend"... it is a big deal. when he relies on you for support, for advice, for love...

so this brings me back to singapore... am i glad we moved? do i like it here? am i weak for following my husband's career and putting him first? not to say that we still won't be the same couple back in the states... but i now know, we have always been speical, we are lasting, and no matter how many people stand in our way... telling us we are not good for each other... THEY are wrong!

P.S. i love you! (this movie always comes on when dirk is away for work... )




another new thing....


RANDOM fact about Singapore...

there is a mosque around the corner from us and every friday there are cars lined up for miles... i always thought it was school getting out early but dirk told me, they go to pray on fridays... learn something new each day... i am going to ask my muslim friend what exactly it stands for...
