It was January 24 when I got here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, the USA. And it's been a month...Yay! It's my one month here!!! I survived!
I survived the homesickness....
My first week here was very tough. I was always crying at night because I missed my family and friends in the Philippines. I felt like I am alone here although my husband is always there for me, it feels like I missed everything in my home country. I lived with my family for 29 years and this is the first time that I am away with them. I thought of going home but I realized that my husband needs me here and he is the reason why I am here now. I am very thankful that he is always there for me specially when I am feeling lonely and sad. He understand what I am going through. He is my comforter. But now, I didn't feel the homesickness anymore. I always talk to my family and friends through internet and that makes me happy. Even if my family and friends isn't here, I already have a family here, my second family...Kehn family! And I also made friends here. I know it's hard to be in a strange place but I know that I survived! It's a lot of adjustment but I know I can make it.
I survived the snow...
The Philippines has a warm weather so I am not used to cold weather. The first thing I complained about here is the "very" cold weather...Haha...I remembered I whined about it. I haven't seen snow before so this is the first time that I saw it. I liked it when the first time I saw it here but the longer I stayed in the snow, I am started to hate it. I's so funny because I was like a kid playing in the snow. Anyway, I know that I survived! Now I am used to it! Although I still hate the cold weather...Hehe...
peace!

playing in the snowIt's a big adjustment for me to come here and I didn't know what in store for me. But all I know is I am here for only one reason, to be with my husband...I couldn't ask for more because having him in my life is one of the greatest thing that I ever have. I am so happy now that we're together. Life in the US is not as easy as some people think. I know I still have a lot of things to learn here but I'm gonna make it.
