B-Day present.............

Let’s update what happened in the past week. There was not much as usual. It was flood in many provinces, politic chaos still going on, and bad economic affect. Listening and watching those thing could make me stress sometimes..lol..

Sep 19th was another special day for me and my husband. Yes, I got another year older. I reach 17 year old..LOL.. I didn’t do anything special. Before started Sep 19th, I went down to 7-11 and got a cup cake.. Yes, that was my b-day cake. Then I came back to the apartment, stick the candle in my cup cake, made wishes and blew the candles.. The cake was good..lol.. The next morning, I went to the temple, made some merit. Then I bought some fishes (cat fishes and eels) and let them go in the river, gave lives and freedom to them. After that I went to the mall and got many stuff to cook for myself. Of course, I stuffed myself pretty good with all the food I cook. In late afternoon, my family called to wish me a happy birthday. My husband? He did that before everyone.

Many of you might think that I had a very lonely b-day. No, I didn’t even have those feeling at all. It’s true. Even people I love and love couldn’t be there on my b-day but I know they love me ,miss me and wish me the best every day. Many people expect the b-day presents when their b-day arrive. But my thought is , when your heart full of love, the things you will make a wish for on your b-day is nothing more than you wish for your love ones safety and happiness. I feel like that, I really do. Even I don’t have any object presents on my b-day, but I already have the most wonderful all time present that suit for every special day.

Oh….don’t get me wrong.. I did get a super surprise special b-day present from my husband…take a look at it..

Yes, my husband bought me A CAR!!!! Acually, we did look at cars before but I didn’t know he would get one this fast..LOL… It’s Nissan Xterra 2003. It’s in great condition. I love it. I don’t even know what to say when he said “ It’s all yours honey, Happy Birthday!!!” I loooooove my husband soo muchhhhh…..everyday!!
But don’t laugh if I am going to say………………..I don’t know how to drive yet…LOL… It’s going to be interesting to see myself learning how to drive…LOL… but now , I just keep dreaming about driving my car…

My husband got to go to work in Zakho last week. It was good that he had the net up there. Talking about the internet, three days ago I was soooo mad. The internet was dead from the evening till the next morning. I was like “Great, net dead on the day my husband don’t have much thing to do!!!” Well, they fixed it in the morning.. I called them the first minutes their office opened….LOL
My husband is still working hard. We both misss home so much and ready to go home….But we need to get to our goal….so we can wait!!!!

That’s all for now. I am going back to Battle Stars Galactica…. We love this TV shows……

P.S the cross stitch is almost done!!!!

Home......

Lately, my mind doesn’t quite with myself…why? Because it’s with home…I am homesick..lol… why don’t I go back them you might ask. I just can’t go yet but hopefully soon though. Which home? The home in US. Why am I homesick so much? This house is the house I can proudly say it’s “our house” The home that is actually home. No rent no landlord. The home that I can screw the wall and hang the picture and don ‘t need to pay for that. I am not afraid to live in the house that still doesn’t have anything set up yet. I have lived in one room studio house before. What else I have to be afraid of. Only a house and my loved one, and together we will make our home as home. To be able to do stuff in our own place our own land without any worry would be so nice. They might call this feeling “secure’? I know there will be tons of work waiting for me. I strongly believe it’s going to be great. It might be tired but it’s going to be good tired, worth for hard work. And more than anything I will be able to be with me love. I would love to thank my husband so much for this feel.

We still don’t have the travel date yet. We are waiting for the work to be sort out. I know my husband feel the same way. I know he wants to go home. He hasn’t seen Kenny for about a year now. Thanks to the little Kenny that understands his father very well. I can’t stop compliment Kenny because he really is a good kid. He really understands things well. But I know he is still a kid. He can understanding things easy, doesn’t mean he won’t need the farther love. Kenny is handling it pretty well. That has to thank to good people around him as well


OK ,let’s talk about my cross stitch abit before I head out for some food…LOL. I have done almost half of it. It comes out very nice…LOL..Well, for me though. But last couple days, I haven’t done any table of it. I did it a bit, then my husband called. After that my mind and though would be with him and home.. I put it the cross stitch for a while..LOL… I haven’t been lazy yet. I will get it done…that’s my mission.


My stomach is screaming now…need to get something to feed it…LOL

New hobby and an excitment.....

As I didn’t have much things to do for a while, it made me think that I needed to do something at least to kill time and calm down my excitement to go home . I was sitting and thinking about what I would like to do… Then I read the board and had come across to where they talked about cross stitch. Yes , I would try to do some cross stitch. Well, I didn’t feel like having the easy or same pattern as other. So I searched on the net and found the program to converse the picture into the cross stitch pattern. I made like 5 patterns. And then I had to choose which one I wanted to start first. The program was really good, it told me which color code I need for my cross stitch. I was so excited and couldn’t go to sleep till 5 in the morning…lol..

The next morning, I went to the shop that sold some of these stuff. The owner took me to the cross stitch section. Oh my god, they didn’t have some of the exactly color I wanted. I had to use me talent (..LOL.) and compared the color by my own. I don’t know how the picture gonna come out from this color..LOL.. but we shall see soon. Right now, I have stitched some and the colors come out not too bad…we will see..

30th Aug, there was some excitement happened in this apartment. I was doing my cross stitch and watching TV. Suddenly, somewhere somehow the fire alarm was going off! I was so panic and didn’t know what to do. I put a sweater on and then ran into the bedroom gapped the passport and the visa package first. Then I picked my purse and the cell phone, unplugged everything, put the shoes on and locked the door. After that I ran to the stair, this was within 3 minutes..LOL.. I ran from the seven floor to the first floor very quick and on the way people came out and asked what was going on. “ I don’t know but better be out of here” Yep, I didn’t think I was going to stay there and found out. I saw some people came out of the apartment but some were still there. Why? I would want to ask but I better stayed quiet. LOL..

The security guard was running around busy. Not long, the apartment manager got to the site. They went up to the 6th floor and looked but it was nothing. And then she came down and told us that everything was ok. She said someone just made a joke by pulling the fire alarm. Well, that was not so funny, you think. They didn’t know who did that yet. My hands were still shaking after I came up to my apartment. So I needed some support. I sent an sms to my beloved husband…

He was on a mission and didn’t get the text (until the next day) But something had to tell him or he could feel my feeling. He called me not long after that. I told him what happened. And he asked if I was ok , I told him I was fine. I was laughing at myself about gapping the visa before everything..LOL.. how could I lose that when I had waited for it for a long time! That was it for the excitement.


My husband is still working hard and busy. He has been steady busy since he moved to the new place. Not much time to rest before the mission like before. Why is it so much work? Because of some lazy people there don’t do their job well. And now my husband is there and can take care of stuff well and get things done excellent. Even though, he is so busy but he still calls, gives me text, or chat with me whenever he can. I am very happy about that. We just miss each other so much. It’s better now he gives me the mission schedule before he is going for one. So I will be able to know where and what he is doing. Sometimes, I feel down though when I see he works hard but I couldn’t help anything. I would like to help him some , so he could have less work and have more time to rest. Talking about this makes me want us to go home real bad!

Well, I think that’s it for today. I will have to go back to my cross stitching as I haven’t started any yet today.

See ya!
