| Been meaning to respond in this thread... but time is scarce and some things claim to be more important. For me right now, it's all good. I am still married to Lewd... and we couldn't be happier!Almost a year now... and still loving it, life and each other. JD you got the easy part... I moved to Norway to be with Lewd... at least you don't have to learn a new language... I now work practically full time, mostly as a teacher, and I take a mandatory language course 4 nights a week. Lewd is now experiencing single parenting, and we are both permanently exhausted but totally willing to make this effort for our futures. No course means the kid and I move back to Holland in less than 6 months... no option... so we work and we work hard. Life here is great. I haven't seen most of my family in a year, and this time and distance seems to be what I need to find peace with myself, my past, my family and the things that happened to me. I have confidence now that I have never had before. Lewd loves me unconditionally, and I had never experienced that before... so liberating... who knew... that being so close to someone could set you so free... Going back to Holland for a few days in 3 weeks, exactly a year after I left. A friend of mine is getting married and I 'need' to be there. Going to catch up with a few people and looking forward to it. We are now working on getting me a permanent job with a proper contract. I work through an agency right now, and though they keep me well supplied with both work and money, the bank will not grant us a mortgage before I have more a permanent form of employment. We want to move out of our rented appartment and have something for ourselves... never actually bought a house before... exciting... I am turning 30 in 2 months time... and though everyone keeps telling me it is such a big deal, I consider it a relief. I am what you call one of those 'old souls' and it is about time that my age caught up with my experience in life, lol. The only bit of bad... we won't be joining you in Oberhausen either... we free spirits are bound by the school holidays... and alas, nothing close to November 11th can possibly provide for some time off... and then there's the issue of what to do with the 7 year old who loves Tanz as much as we do... Lewd won't bring him, and we can't leave without him... so have fun again... and we'll see you in London for sure!! Ah well... time to go do something necessary again... JD, Congrats again on your marriage... may yours be as happy as mine is!!! That's about the best I can wish you right now... Love, Klasien on whom the strike had no effect whatsoever, seeing as Europe is always a few seasons behind on American shows... never thought that would ever come in handy... lol > A really huge thanks to all who responded to this thread. > > I really love you guys.
