Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)

[sus 70]

Morning all!

Sus...when is the wedding? Why the big secret? Oh is this when you are going off with no human connect in Jamaica?

LOL - no KK, the going off with no human contact is the honeymoon - We are getting married on May 23rd in Ochi at Mahogany Beach - starting to feel real now, lol -

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.

Congrats Thompson that is great!

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?

Love, no need to make the decisions right now - I have the same thoughts - If he is willing to relocate to another country, then I have to be willing to move to another area - However, that has to be a decision that we make together as a couple, after he arrives, we explore the options, locate jobs, etc... Because the reality is, when he first gets here, your job will be the income - you can't pick up and leave that behind. He is talking based on what he hears from others - I would have a hear to heart with him, discuss it, and explain to him that you would be willing to move, if you made the choice as a couple to do so, after he has been here and given the area where you are a chance - you never know, he might love it in Orlando -

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

Thnaks that makes me realize that my worries are for nothing ... im sure all will be well. I am so grateful to have found this site and everyone is so eager to share their experiences and advise.Cause lately it been getting hardier to be away from him

My, I think the fact that you are worrying is a good sign - that shows that you care about your fiance and want to figure out what will make him the most comfortable - Adjustment is hard for all, no one is perfect - And the fact that you are thinking about it now gives you time to plan things out - search out things for him in your area, find things that you think he will enjoy or that will ease the transition. And, come on here and vent whenever!

The catalog is here - some cost, but there are many free - you can search by price, low to high, which will list the free first.

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?

surprisingly yes, I fought it for months, but I didn't have any family in nyc so it was pretty much only us. maybe if we didn't have kids we would have stayed, but that limited our going out. the move was way better for the kids, hubby has six brothers including a twin so making friends was never a issue for him in j.a. but here it's different he keeps killing me for ludy (sp).

true - we moved only after i got layed off in nyc and now his is the only income

and yup researching is a great idea.

KK, that's an hour during ruch hour, if you went home for lunch, that would be a 30 to 45 min run. Use the 15 mins for the event, 5 mins shower the roll back to work in the next 30 45 mins. You will only be late for lunch for a 30 or 45 mins.

Yeah you just tell him to have his clothes off and be ready as you walk in the door. Then while you get out the car you start undressing. Kick that door open and be like Honey I'm home but by this time he should be butt naked waiting on the couch or floor for you. Shoot forget the shower take a ho$ bath get back in your car and be on your way back ta work!!!

Same as saying "yu coming for a quickie".

I just don't like quikies.

Have you all seen this:

Sad. Happens a lot more then we ever hear.

[JaHoney 3]

Hey ladies, well i see yall have started up a new thread. i still dont have any net access as of yet, so im getting on whenever and wherever i can. I had a great trip and missed you all. Didnt get a chance to connect with Mrs Zahara,( phillyfashionista) but wondered did anyone hear of if she got an approval???

My kids absolutely loved JA, cant wait to go back and they loved D as well which was great. alright, work calls and i gotta go, hope to chat with you all tonight.

Honey

[*JG* 2]

Roxie, well I guess growing up in Ja makes it an acceptable concept...I was like #######??? I didn't know you could get arrested for it - well I guess I thought you COULD but never would!

I can say I don't see the big deal if it isn't near someone's house or business.

In London, you can get arrested for spitting ANYWHERE, I was like ####### when I heard...

Besides the smell, there is the potential of spreading disease. I think it's digusting.

That's one thing I will never understand. In my city, everyone tends to know everyone.

I ordered these today - aren't they cute?

ha ha.....cute, Sus.

Welcome back! Glad to hear the trip went well and that the kids got along great with D - We were hoping you had hooked up with Philly, cause we haven't heard and are all dying for news!

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/

Oh, I love the Wild Hare. Wish I was coming that way.

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.

I agree.

I do want to say here that I do not recommend moving too soon after he gets here. Reasoning being his world will be very unstable at that point. Until he settles in and finds his niches, you need to be the stable one.
