So after all that excitement and anxiety here I am blogging from my husband's laptop on a Friday afternoon exactly 2 weeks after our wedding! Yes, I am married....sometimes its important for me to keep saying this cos I dont feel it sometimes....maybe everything has happened very quick or maybe i have been preparing for this for a while!
I live now far far away from home.It would take me a good 18 hrs to get home if i opt for good direct connections, so that's the most positive calculation. the wedding went off well with God's grace and we were lucky to visit respective family temples.We didn't have a honeymoon. Just yday Athena was telling me there is no honeymoon for couples settling to US after wedding- which is so true. so my "honeymoon" was at Heathrow airport on 7th. Not very romantic spot but thats the first place both of us were alone for a day and didnt have much work besides hoping to get seats in the first available flight to SFO. It was a tiring stay at Heathrow , the terror-scare and after missing 4 flights that day,you can imagine how we felt .We had boarding passes that could be used as junk paper.we couldnt even sleep that night worrying about us gettin to SFO safe.8th was a contrast and we got lucky with the seats and once we came here we were in no mood to sleep , so went to the temple here. It was a lovely experience- didnt feel far from home at all!
So after all that I am now in Mars! Okay, sorry about trying to be funny but for me this is some other planet. First you have to be interviewed to qualify coming here and then in my case i took close to 2 days to get here. once you are here, your finger impressions and snap is recorded. Then I come home which looked pretty okay except that i was searching for a washing machine. The following day my hubby takes me to a Laundry room (wow!) where you wash your clothes and then dry them in seperate machines.it works by card! I was amazed! Then we wanted to make some copies of my passport we walk into Fedex Kinkos and there again a card is swiped to get the machine working....i mean Whoa! i am in some highly advanced city or was i in slumber when all this was happening? the most exciting thing about traffic here is that you are allowed to turn right on most red lights....so cool!
besides these discoveries, my cutie took me for Vietnamese dinner and it was very enjoyable.I have gone to the nearest mart called Safeway and to Ikea.Please try the Non-fat yoghurt cone there....its so yummy for an afternoon!we also tried the Subway nearby and i loved the wheat bread.infact i got some wheat bread home...the surroundings are so calm, quiet, green -which i am the most happiest about.we have pretty duplexes on the parallel street and lots of "boulevards" around.
till the time i am amazed i will be blogging about this new home...
