I ordered these today - aren't they cute?

I love those! I had seen them, but I'm not getting married on the beach so I ouldn't get them. When are you getting married? In Ochi?

Thompson did you e-mail the embassy yet?

Funny you should ask. I emailed them today asking for a Tuesday appt and really pushed it by saying May 5th would be the best. I was shocked when I received a reply two hours later saying May 5th at 1:30pm.

THank you!! I will let him know so he can have something to do tomorrow, lol.

Hi Mrs Buggy, glad to hear the hubby is settling in - has he started looking for jobs? Seeing what is out there, browsing the paper, might kill some time- or maybe some classes - Microsoft has free online ones -

Well, he's been looking online for jobs. But I will definitely tell him about the online classes... does he just go to microsoft.com??

Hello yardies!

Well, Derron has been here for 2 weeks... and aside from us having fun when I'm not at work.... HE'S BORED!!

He eats, sleeps and watches movie or is on the internet. He is finding it difficult cuz he is used to working. My poor baby... I don't know what else I can tell him to do while I'm at work. I can't wait til his SS comes in so he can look for a job.

On the bright side.. we went on our first road trip to visit our parents. That was alot of fun! He's been driving since he got here but the drive to my folks was 9 hours. So naturally after 3.5 hours, we stopped at his dads house for a night. Then travelled to my parents the next day. He was TIRED!! And on the return, he drove straight the 9 hours. He's still catching up on his rest, lol.

I was going to try and catch up form part 13.... but decided not to. I hope everyone is well.

Hello to the newbies!!

Congrats to all who have had good news!!!

Hey Mrs Buggy, you finally came up for some air. Your hubby is just going through a natural adjustment phase he will be fine when he starts working and making friends. This place is nothing like JA where everybody knows everybody and you can just walk down the road and link up with people playing dominos or football. People in the states tend to stay to themselves, I have been here for years and still dont know my neighbors

LOL... yeah, I did decide that air is needed to survive!

You are right... and I'm sure this will pass. After visiting our parents, who both live in small towns, he is extremely interested in moving to where they are at. That just does not sit well w/ me especially since I know he will make friends and learn the place here soon. But I told him if he still felt the same way by the end of the year... we'll talk about moving. I am praying now that once he starts working and getting around, that he decides that he he likes it here cuz I really, really don't want to move! I guess we'll see.

Girl I feel you on that one, my Boo has not even gotten here yet and he is already talking about FT Lauderdale because he has a job waiting for him there and a lot of his family is there. I am like I have my family here in Orlando and even though I really like FT Lauderdale I am not sure I want to move either.

OKAY! Well... I know prayer works... so that's what I'll be doing.

Alright yardies... I'm off to home now... hubby is waiting for me downstairs. I'll try and make it tomorrow... but for sure on thursday!! Have a great night... and super Hump Day!!!

I feel for you, mr jengs came to boston where my family was a month after coming here and we moved a year later. it is hard for them because they are used to being around family and people they know. I actually liked being a way from my family but realized it was better for the kids, me because of the support I have now with the kids and him because he likes being around family. He hasn't really made friends because he is picky of the people he hangs out with.

I know, sometimes I feel bad like he is moving from another country to be with me and I guess it wouldnt hurt me to move a few miles to make him happy. I dont know what to do??? Are you happy with your move?

Im worried about the adjustment my fiance will go through when he get to come here... he is leaving his family he has a few friends but they are states away...It probably too early to be worried about that but i want him to feel comfortable

Bump and Hi to all! It has been forever. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

We will be celebrating 2 years of hubbies arrival at the end of May.

Reading about the adjustment brings me back to the first year.

You guys will be fine. My husband is a very social person and made his own friends. He started college after 2 months here and became very involved in many reggae bands. We found a Jamaican grocery store, cook shop and reggae club. I would say as long as he can find a passion in something he loves to do you will be fine. Take it one step at a time. For us the first year was rough and now life is great after the adjustment period.

If anyone lives in the Chicago area. My husband band Dub Dis play at the Wild Hare on Tuesday nights. No cover charge. http://www.wildharemusic.com/

One Love

yeah i see that and its great cuz my friends try to understand but they dont get it ..

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Sooooooooooooo..........friends of mine (Jamaican) went to NY. While they were there, as is done in Jamaica, one of the guys peed on the street in a corner. NYPD blue arrested him there and then, he was lucky to only spend ONE night in jail. Judge was lenient (apparently) and told him the offence will lie on file for 6 months, and let him go.

Please, PLEASE tell your SO's this story, would hate to see them get in trouble...I know a lot of Jamaican men think it's nothing big...

Mawin English;

Girl, I told my husband that wayyyyy before he left Jamaica and some other things he can't do in the states, because this is not YARD. Your friend is not alone, I had a friend who pulled over in rockcreek park to peee and the office was standing there looking at him, he just says what's up to the officer and went to get back in his car, he was detained. He told the office that he just got here about 3 days ago and he thought because it was the bush it would be okay. So, the office gave him a break and told him you can't do this anywhere in the US and that next time another office wouldn't be so nice and he would be in jail.

I have friends, who burn trash in the yard, another thing you can't do unless you live in a rural area or walk down the street with a machette to chop our a neighbors yard...while my husband thinks a lot of rules here are strict, he adapted very well.

Goodmorning to all
