In celebration of my husband being here in America with me for 100 days, we went to see the play 'Wicked' yesterday. It was absolutely wicked. It involved what many good books, good plays, or good films are about. The play acts included betrayal, adultery, manipulation, and lies. On a good note, it included in the acts: love, loyalty, kindness, forgiveness, acceptance, and decency. He enjoyed his surprise!

Wicked had elaborate costumes and scenes. The music was fantastic. The characters were witty. We loved it. To top it all of, after the performance, my husband and I found ourselves right outside the channel 7 evening news broadcast. We were on TV. We are at the very end of the television broadcast.

We had a great evening. I do not know how today could be better for our celebration, but this evening we are going to Benihanas. This is also a surprise. Tomorrow a small party (it will actually be 100 days Saturday) with cake and ice cream.

My husband and I have enjoyed each other. We are glad we were able to get our visa case approved. My husband is not like what has been mentioned about MENA men on VJ. He is hard working, helpful, caring, loving, kind, and considerate (for the most part, he he). He works, cooks, cleans, does yard work, washes the car, goes for walks with me, is affectionate, etc. He does not think badly about American women, but a lot of Moroccan men here in Chicago do. They have discussed their views about this very subject to him. We are all drunken party hoes that only want sex. LOL! And I do not even go to parties or drink.

I pray to God that I will be able to post about my husbands '1000 Days In America-Our Life Together' in 30 months. On that note, good luck to everyone going through the visa process (the easy part) and to everyone that is already building a life with your MENA husband in America (the hard part). I'm Out!

I was disappointed by Wicked though Idina Menzel is simply amazing. Only like one song. The idea was clever but I don't know something missing. Anyone read the book?

Congrats on reaching the 100 day mark!

On another note, I am glad to hear that your husband does not fit into the same "pretty little box". I think all the generalizations thrown around in the MENA part of VJ are absolutely ridiculous. Would I want my husband to have a generalization about me being an American woman always in his mind? Heck no.

I read the book. LOVED it. I'm about to start the sequal, Son of a Witch.

I was disappointed by the content of the play, I felt like they dumbed it down and made it all happy-happy (it's a musical, I know, but still), although I liked the musical itself. I have a weakness for musicals. Something about all the dancing and the catchy songs and the costumes.

I read Wicked and Son of a Witch, both excellent.

and to Julie, congratulations on a great start to your life together, I hope it always continues like this for you and brings you both happiness and contentment ! :D

I am pretty sure we have made it to 1000 days but I cant count that high, Jenn can you count from November 18, 2004?
