Time is a funny thing. Last year after Kolya and I were engaged, January 12 seemed like forever! (Though it was well worth the wait!) But this past month has just flown by! Maybe it was a week stateside (though it felt longer then a week… maybe that’s what no sleep does mumsie… we lived ‘two’ weeks in one, heh).
It was a good trip but for a sad reason. There are still times that I tear up when I’m telling Kolya about all those crazy people stateside that he’ll get to meet one day
(sooner rather then later, I hope!) and realize that Uncle Doug (Ducky, Mr.Wonderful, Policeman, boat driver, story teller, knower of all little facts no one should know, knower of everything all should know, always had a comment (sometimes good, sometimes bad… most of the time funny) will not be there :( I’m glad I got two full summers with him on the Cape just down the road (even when I was running to Grandma’s and back to Aunt Janet and Uncle David’s and him trying to feed me ice cream when all I wanted was a quick glass of water and place to stretch). I pray that he did come to realize this past year who his Maker and Savior was! This world passes by so quickly…
We’re down to 1 1/2 months of the place we are staying now. As of this moment, we don’t know where we’ll be moving :) It’s all in God’s hands, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t activly looking for a place! We know that He in His timing will open and close doors. Thankfully Mumsie (and I hope Pops agreed) to let us move some of our things to store in a high up place in their apartment! Things like a letter written on my birthday by my dad’s mom (who died when I was just 2), my baby blanket (thanks Aunt Biz!) and other things that we want to keep, but don’t really use.
All I can say is, life is interesting
For Michelle: I know that you at least watched EuroVision :) I didn’t have the chance to ‘live’ blog, so I just wrote a few comments down after each country. I’m going to your blog next to see what your thoughts were
In order of apperence:
Romania - stupid - guy and girl off key
UK - disco lives - not too bad
(coffee break for #3)
Germany - awful
Armenia - entergetic
B&H - entertaining
Isreal - good vocals
Finland - bad hair
Croatia - not bad
Poland - white baby grand
(it stole my heart!)
Iceland - brother/sister act?
Turkey - mmm… no
Portugal - beacuse of Wednesday - no (Wed. was the Champions League final and a guy who missed his PK at the end got player of the game… undeserved, I thought… he was from Portugal)
Latvia - pirates - heh
Sweeden - flat
Denmark - My favorite so far… pirates in second!
Georgia - reminds me of ‘Karen’ on Will & Grace
Ukraine - no comment due to the fact it’s ‘my’ country
France - stupid
Azer - not boy soprano…. man soprano… yikes!
Greece - I couldn’t feel it… but I bet Europe did :-/
Spain - no comment
Serbia - no comment (I think I was getting too lazy at this point in the show)
Russia - Dima Bilan & is that Victor Plushenko?!?!
Norway - no comment
My favorites were of course Ukraine (even if it wasn’t the best song), Denmark, Latvia and Russia. I knew Greece would have a good chance… very much the style of the he/she that won two years ago for Greece! We’ll see what happens next year :) Ukraine, two years in a row as #2… not too shabby!
