I'm Back..............for now
So I'm back after about a 6 month detour in the US. My work in the states is now complete so it's time for the next phase in my life. Now your wondering what in the world the next phase might be well let me tell you. Not what I would have chosen right now. Not what I planned on. I fully expected to be here in my Arab world for another 6-7 years. When we came we came with no contract and told them we will leave when we are tired of this life. hahahahahha my life here are you kidding tire of it!!!! On the day my mother passed away April 4, 2009 not only was i mourning the loss of my mother but I was told that we would be leaving the UAE this year. Not what I needed to hear that day but I put it on the back burner for a few weeks since I had more pressing things to take care of at the time. So now that I am back I have to think about this and plan for the change. I am trying hard to get my head around this thought of me living in the US again. Not that I don't like living there I do but not where I have to GO. Having been born and raised in Montana and lived in Utah and Idaho the cold weather has been something I just haven't appreciated. The warm weather that I so enjoy here in Abu Dhabi is something I have never tired of. I'm done being cold, never want to have to wear close toed shoes again or wear a heavy winter coat. No desire. I keep thinking maybe I was born on the wrong island or something. No shoes and the least amount of clothing needed to be legal is what I had in mind for my senior years now that I have hit the decade that will make me a senior citizen. I'm don't mean to sound un greatful or unappreciative of the opportunities that this new promotion Sam will have. But really come on. Why would I want to go into debt again and have to buy another house and another car. All that is really over rated. Not very interested. I'll never own the house, I'll be dead before that happens now that I'm in the golden decade. So your wondering where in the world am I going to live . IOWA. Now you understand. So if you want to come and experience my world the time is now before I have to return before the new year. I figure I'll wait as long as I can and then that way it will be spring sooner in the frozen tundra. Why would I want to go before winter and experience the whole winter. Right? So with all that I'll go where I am to go and do what I am to do..... sounds a little hooky but I will find a new life and create something fun if it kills me.
