I came to this country five years back. I have learnt so many life lessons along the way .. I was so excited to buy my first flip-flop (slippers) for 2 bucks from Kroger. Hubby and I so exitedly selected a color that I liked. Fun times really. My first friend in this country - Sheetal, The first dish I made - upma, First trip - Dallas, so many 'firsts' to remember. Its amazing how hubby and I discovered so many things together, did trips together, learnt cooking, and the little things along the way !
We invested in two new cars almost immediately after we were married. It was a big step forward for us, but we believed in our decisions. I remember decorating our house with what ever little that hubby dear had accumulated up until then. Everything seemed new and fresh, with a positive vibration associated with it .. I remember my the surprise cake that my friend brought home for hubby's bday late at night, cutting the cake for my bday with just the two of us in our tiny apartment. It was so simple, yet so much fun, still so fresh in my mind.
Move from one bedroom to two bedroom apartment, and then dreaming about having our own dream home sometime became a reality when we took the brave leap forward and built our own home here in Houston. A spacious 2500 sq ft two storey house, that we were going to call home. We had so many things to look forward to, new friends, new jobs, new everything. At the same time, both of us kept growing spiritually, and kept our feet firmly on the ground.
Then came our blessing from god, in the form of a daughter. Life transformed, from the youth to the responsible. Little things didn't matter anymore. I only became more patient, calmer and more accepting of everything. Motherhood taught me so much.
Here I am, 5 years later, we have now got our green cards, and we are at a stage where we have the urge to get back to our motherland. Atleast the idea has got firmly rooted in our minds, and we hope to work toward making that dream and reality.
