10 Days and Counting

Due to my ever-spinning mind, I am awake at 1am and like usual I am obsessing over what is to come in the next couple weeks.  As the title of the post suggests....I have 10 days until I board the plane to start my new life! 

I have to admit I am not sad to leave.  This summer has been very difficult.  Originally, I expected to be in Colombia by mid-June, then beginning of July, then mid-July, late-July....I can go on, but I think I would bore you.  Needless to say, my Colombian adventures with Diego had continually eluded me.  After my incredible experience in Mexico and my Colombian adventure just around the corner, I think it has been hard for me to fit in and get comfortable here.  Something about only having 10 days left makes me realize how close I really am and therefore much more optimistic.

Diego, on the other hand, has been in Barcelona for the past month.  He has visited Paris and Rome and had a lot of fun experiencing the night life of Spain...which is amazing yet exhausting in my own opinion.  While I wanted to visit him in Barcelona, I didn't want to have to share a room with one of his coworkers nor could I escape the grown up inside my head that said the money saved by not going will be well spent on a lot of mini trips in Colombia and setting up my new life.  I'm a grown up?  When did that happen? 

I will say that Diego going to Spain without me was the best thing that could have happened for us.   After my adventures in Mexico which was difficult for us at times, we both completely understand what the other one was going through and therefore are much better at the separation this time.

Anyway, I am starting this blog for those who would like to keep up with my adventures with Diego in Colombia.  We have a lot coming up.....finding an apartment, moving furniture from Bogota, completely my paperwork, finding a job for me, and simply experiencing marriage life.....and we can't forget Colombian food!  I'm sure there will be tears....of joy, of frustration, of exhaustion, but I welcome the time when they come....it means I'm in Colombia!!!
