And here we are

And here we are

After the hassle we went through last week (read here and here) there was just one last bridge to cross: the actual wedding party. The least I can say is that it was awkward. It was in the beginning. I arrived a couple hours before the party at his family’s home. The hairdresser came, did [...]

GETTING MARRIED TO A JORDANIAN Part 2

GETTING MARRIED TO A JORDANIAN Part 2

My last post described first day of the paper work for the marriage. Yesterday we started  early. We arrived at the Ministry of Interior around 8.30AM. The Mister went inside and they asked him for the copy of his ID and his passport. Once he gave that to them, we had to wait 1 hour [...]

Getting Married to a Jordanian

Getting Married to a Jordanian

I’ve been away for a while, being busy arranging my engagement and getting all stressed out. Today was  the final day for assembling all our papers. Before getting engaged I searched the internet for information on the needed papers but I couldn’t really find good resources in English. Therefor I decided to write down in [...]

A few good things to watch

Lately I had some free time on my hands and a lot of movies on my hard disk, so I’ve spent most of my time watching movies and TV Shows. Here are a few things I’ve enjoyed watching: The Descendants I seriously don’t know why it took me this long to watch the movie. I [...]

It’s that day again…

It’s that day again…

April 4th is the day in the year I rather skip. Like going to sleep on the 3rd and waking up the 5th or just hoping that there is a higher power that can handle it so I don’t have to suffer.

So where do I go now?

So where do I go now?

Last night, after writing the previous post, I had a huge breakdown. I wasn’t happy at all. I just wanted to die. I hated everyone and everything. This morning, I woke up and the Mister was staring at me with a big smile on his face. I instantly feel good. I finished some work and [...]

Spring has arrived in Jordan

Spring has arrived in Jordan

While last week, a big part of Jordan was covered in snow, this weekend the temperature in Amman reached 20°C. We, as well as a lot of other families, decided to go out for Mechaoui (Barbecue). While the Mr. was grilling the food and keeping the fire going, I went out on an expedition to [...]

Beautiful Iran

Beautiful Iran

Last year I’ve added Iran to my list of places I’d like to visit – together with Lapland and Tibet. Currently I’m reading the book “Iranian Rappers & Persian Porno: A Hitchhiker’s Adventures in the New Iran” by Jamie Maslin. The book made me believe more that a trip to Iran is possible AND you can [...]

The day has arrived

The day has arrived

Yes, today I’m going to the doctor – the shrink – for the very first time. Oh God, how much stressed out I am. I’ve been thinking about what to tell him. I have no idea how to explain him how I feel. OK, I feel miserable, but I’m sure that’s not the description he’s waiting [...]

Going down

I’m going down, way down. I feel how I’m going in the wrong direction, but I can’t stop it. Sorry if I’m not replying on messages on the social networks, but I sometimes just don’t have the strength to do that. I don’t know what to do. Every step I take, it’s just killing me. Even while [...]
