Two years...

Time heals almost all wounds. On December 14th of 2010 I got pulled over by a Cobb county police man for not putting my turning signals when switching lanes... two months later, after fighting my case... I got deported to Uruguay. It has been two years. Two years.  Cant seem to wrap my mind around that. Two whole years.... I've been here for that long. And what have I accomplished?? Countless mistakes... thats for sure. .. wow.

Dont cancel that flight!!

I have totally been slacking, no need to remind me.

Work is well... work. Just a job. I gotta say the schedule change really took away a lot of it's perks! Its tough working from 2-11 and it's only my second day.!! Imagine that. Other than that it is GREAT!!! New people, new concepts! Good good good.
Just a quick post to make it a habit.

On Wednesday we wear pink!

On Wednesdays I have class. Which means I don't get a chance to see my Gordo! It makes the day go by so slow... it makes him be a bit too needy. I won't lie, I miss him too, I just handle it much better than he does. I can feel that he gets down and I don't like that. While it is flattering that he loves me so much, I can't be his only happiness! I have tried to explain this to him. It is not healthy.... hope this changes once we move together.

Speaking of... today he finally confirmed on the apartment! Our little love nest as he calls it. The apartment is tiny, very small. Of course very cheap also... however, the location is not best. Its a small town which is very far from mine and his job. About 1 hour each way. This is utterly inconvenient with my new schedule. Leaving work at 11 at night... will be quite difficult to catch a bus at that time. Which leads me to my next point... I need to stop worrying so much about this schedule.... it'll probably be January by the time I have work those hours.

In the mean time... summer is almost here and it is super hot. Of course in this third world country we can't afford to have air conditioning at home.... which leaves everyone melting! This is probably why I am so pro on us moving to a smaller and cheaper place. To be able to have these small luxuries and make the day to day a bit better.
My aunt called today to offer me a new apartment. This one of course, coming from my aunt, is in a much nicer neighborhood, bigger located in a building with security and all! It was actually within our "budget" but what can I say... I have made up my idea of our small place. And i am... honestly... exhausted of all this searching! I have settled for our apartment and that's the way its going to be. But of course my mom won't accept this... they are not very content with the location in which I am planning to move to, will do anything to try and change my mind...
It has come to the point where their opinion is no longer so important. Now, its me and and Gordo. It is our decisions that matter, it is us two facing everything together. Honestly, anyone else's opinion does not concern me... this might be the most grown up statement I have made.

It is quite a hassle to move here... you need to have so many documents in order, and be available at their times... which are crap. They make it near impossible to move, to succeed, to grow.

I really hope we can be moved in  by December. I just wish Gordo would stop worrying so much, money wise. I know we will be just fine!!! Fingers and toes crossed that everything will go great at my new job and that he will continue to work in the Casino project for a few more months.

With this I leave. Nite nite.

One week notice

I handed in my one week notice yesterday! Feels like I have an eternity til Friday!! Ready for my little week off to relax and clear my mind!! Before starting my new job on the 19th! Got paid today and had to change my dollar at $19.55 uff thats a killer right there!! Lucky for me Sabre will change it for me at $24 :)

Working today til 9pm!! Horror!! Gordo is coming to pick me up and hanging with me a bit tonight :) miss him so much, feels like forever since I last saw him and it was only on Sunday! He sent me flowers yesterday to congratulate me on my new job!! <3 as if I didn't love him enough before!!

Back to work to train the fake boob bimbo that will attempt to replace me. Oh the joys! Lol

Back to Reality

Vacations were absolutely perfect!!! Couldn't have been better, not even being on my period ruined the wonderful 3 days spent together with my Gordo! I came back even more in love than I was before. Didn't even think that was possible.We went to Piriapolis, went up to el Cerro de San Antonio. Saint of Relationships (how convenient)  went to the beach, enjoyed the pool, ate ice cream everyday there. It was fantastic! Zero complains, well of course the usual one... it was too short. Indeed it was. I know now how great this man is, I am completely in love.

Here is a picture from el Cerro de San Antonio - absolutely breathtaking. 

Things are going smoothly. I gave my one week notice at work, Friday is my last day!!! :) Can't really explain the relief that I have knowing I am leaving this place. I was truly uncomfortable, and felt that I was alienating myself. Which of course is not healthy at all. I am ready to get started somewhere new and have the opportunity to a fresh start. Somewhere where no one knows that I applied for Team Lead and didn't get the job. Somewhere where I won't have a psycho stalker ex boyfriend, where no one knows me. I am looking forward to it!!

Gordo finally came around the idea of me doing from 2-11 PM. I am quite aware that is not a pretty schedule, and I'm sure I will complain about it. But right now, I know that this is a sacrifice that I have to make to have a better tomorrow, for the both of us.  I am so eager to start my new life with him, with my new job and new challenges that we will face. Knowing in my heart that we will make it through whatever.

It seems the apartment we want might be willing to accept deposit!! which is great, considering how many errands we would have to run in order to get Contaduria. (needed to rent here in Uruguay, you can only get it if you are employed by the government). Fingers crossed that we can move it before the end of year! Container arrives next month, so not quite a rush, yet. Hard thing to ask from me since I am extremely anxious! Worse than a little kid.

I feel very happy, in a way I haven't felt in a while. Perhaps not even back in the states, which is really difficult for me to admit that I might not be missing it as much as I was before. I might really be adjusting to Uruguay, and I have Gordo to thank for that.


Until next time,
xoxo

Rise and shine!

Morning!! We are on our way to the terminal and catch the bus to the beach!! :) yay!! Vacation time!!!

Yes yes yes I GOT THE JOB!!!!!! more details on this later... now... the beach is waiting for me. 

Thursday .... feels like a Friday!

I guess today is an Uruguayan Friday since we are not working tomorrow. I don't mind that. At all! Me and Gordo are heading down to Piriapolis tomorrow morning! Spending the whole weekend away from everyone! Sounds absolutely delish! Can't wait!!! :) Im up early and on my way to a job interview, second interview, not sure why I'm being interviewed twice... just hope it's for a good thing rather than bad. I currently work in Zonamerica, nice place to work with the exception that its an hour plus away from home!!! I had to get up at 7:30 to be at this interview by 10! Of course... I am riding the bus... in a car it's about 15 minutes.  Crazy difference right? Well... that's Uruguay for you. No of course we don't have a subway system. You must be confusing us with Argentina. Don't feel like complaining today, well not this early in the morning. I have accepted my luck. This is it. So no complaining!

Big interview, fingers crossed!!!
Awesome long weekend coming up!
Can't and won't let anything bring me down!

Xoxo

First post

So this is my very first blog, ever! Well actually I think I might have had one back when I was in high school but never really cared for it. This however, is something that I have all intentions of keeping up with! Mainly this blog is to describe my day to day in this new adventure I am starting. New chapter in my short life! I am 22 and about to move in with my boyfriend of 6 months! Yup! That's it, sounds like disaster waiting to happen. Although I am confident that it will all go just fine.
I will be posting about us, things we do, challenges we face in this odd country, and pretty much everything! I have an idea of what I imagine our life together to be... we are complete opposites! He is the calm one, the nice and understanding one. Me? I'm more of the crazy and selfish one! You'll see...

Just a brief first post! More tomorrow!
