The One Where Kelsey Totally Loses It

I’m not really sure if venting about eveything will make me feel any better or if it will just get me obsessing even more about things that are out of my control.
Yesterday we had an appointment with the rental agency to do a pre-inspection on the house and we decided to turn in the keys.  [...]

I Never Told You What I Do For a Living

Matt got home safely on Saturday. He snapped a few photos on his cell phone, but took the rest on disposable cameras so we’re waiting to develop them back in the states. We didn’t really do anything special on Sunday. He took me for coffee on base and we tried walking around the bazaar. We [...]

Giving In and Putting Up

Yesterday was the final day of the Great Patio Battle. Matt has waved the white flag and we spent the morning collecting faxes and checks for the VAT office on base.

Heaping Spoonful of Bliss

Yay! I’m wired again. Oh heavenly internet, feed my addiction! Alas, it is only dial up for another 6 days before my DSL will be activated, but I will take what I can get. Our new house finally resembles something habitable, rather than the explosion of clothing, wires, and furniture it was on Friday. At first [...]
