Sunday afternoon we had a knock on our door. It was a couple from Colorado ~ Amy and Bryan. They are here for 2 years and have brought their 2 sons (14 & 16) and a 4 year old daughter. The boys go to an international school about an hour away. They say that once you enter the compound you feel like you are back in America. It is a totally American curriculum and many diplomats send their kids there.
Anyway, Amy is very involved in the American Women's Club. She invited me to a get together on Thursday. I said I would love to go.<br><br>
She told me some advice that other women had given her ~~ it is ok to cry or be depressed once a week for awhile. It is perfectly normal. That made me feel good because I have been trying to ignore the twinges of sadness or depression about what we've left behind.<br><br>
She also said it gets better and to try to enjoy this luxury lifestyle for as long as it lasts. Good advice ~~ I will try to follow it!
