america

wow, its fun to sign into blogger and not have everything be in Serbian, a language I don't even understand.

I am still confused when I walk into a store and the people all speak English.

The other day I went to a mall food court by myself, and I chose to sit next to a middle eastern family. Then another non-english speaking family sat on the other side of me. I was happy. No albanian speakers, but just hearing other languages was good.

I did find an Albanian at the airport when I arrived. That was a nice surprise and gave me something to do while waiting for my bags. The guy worked at the airport and I think I really surprised him when I started speaking Albanian to him. Once I am more settled I will start searching for some Albanians near where I will be living.

So I am finally back in the states and trying to figure out life here. Its a bit complicated. I am looking for a job and its not as easy as I had hoped. At the same time I am looking for a car, but again thats hard without a job. I did buy a phone and a computer on the first day and I have been very happy with them. (Ok, i did exchange my phone, i was used to a really simple phone in Europe, but decided since I have the possibility to do so much more on my phone now, why not get a phone that can do stuff. I think I am happy with my choice now.)

While I wait for a job and a car I have been enjoying time with the most wonderful nephew in the world. I can't believe how big Owen is and I have loved every minute I have spent with him so far. He is so cute, makes so many funny faces, and has such a great personality. Click here below to see more pictures of him from my first couple days here.
