Thomas just left for his next two weeks of military. He was able to come home this weekend because he had school on Friday and Saturday. He thinks he may be coming home this weekend on Friday so he can go to school but then he will have to go back to the military that same night.
The world economic forum is this coming weekend in Switzerland so he will be keeping the sky safe the rest of the weekend. I took some pictures of him in his uniform before he left. Can't help to think that he looks pretty HOT in it too! Enjoy!
This is an update praising Thomas. He is a wonderful husband who puts up with a lot from me while I am going through some homesickness issues. So, here it goes!
Sometimes I can't explain my moods. I know/hope it's just an adjustment thing and time will help. I'm sure of it actually. I titled this blog jealousy because I am very jealous of him! I know jealousy is a bad thing in a marriage, but it's not the same kind of jealousy people normally have with their significant others. I'm not jealous of Thomas with other girls, I'm jealous of him with his family. It sounds so stupid as I am typing this. I'm jealous that he gets to have coffee with his parents every weekend. I'm jealous that we spend every birthday with his family. I'm jealous that he gets to see his parents everyday at work and jealous that he can see his sister whenever he wants. I won't even mention how jealous I am that he has friends and we hang out with only his friends. (Don't take that wrong, I am very grateful that we have his family here and that they take care of me like I am their own.) I'm just jealous. I want my parents too. I want my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews here with me. I want to hang out with my friends sometimes. (Can I sound any more ungrateful and spoiled?)
With that being said, Thomas is really patient with me. Sometimes I am in a funk and it is only directed at him. I don't know why!! It has however, become for a shorter amount of time and less frequent (Thank God!). Why I am writing this is because of our conversation last night. I asked Thomas if he understands my moods, I was in a funk the last two days. He told me the truth and said he didn't understand my moods yet. SO, I tried to explain that sometimes I get mad at him, not personally just kind of like holding a grudge against him because of the previous mentioned jealousy issues. Can't believe I said this, but I told him it's because of him that I am away from my family. He is so sweet, he said he understands and it's ok. He said all of this a sweet smile on his face and basically told me to take as much time as I need to adjust.
So, thank you again Thomas for putting up with me and taking such good care of me in this foreign country. Someday it will be easier for me and these funks will no longer exist.
I hope this all sounds ok. We weren't fighting, just talking and he listens so well and tries so hard to understand how/what I am feeling. I just thought I should share this so he knows I do appreciate him. Once again, you can tell Thomas thanks for taking care of me when you see him next. I do remember numerous people telling him to take care of me at the wedding and he is keeping up his part of the bargain.
So, to the US family and friends, I love and miss you all. I think of you and my first home everyday with a smile on my face. And to all our Swiss family and friends, thank you for putting up with me and making me feel welcome and safe in your county. I can honestly say I wouldn't make it in this country without all of you and your support.
Geesh, this turned out to be quite a sappy entry. I'm a little worried about publishing this. I am going to put a little disclaimer here. I can't say how grateful I am of his family (Lucie and Walter, his Grandparents, sister and friends). I am having a hard time explaining what I feel because I don't quite understand it all the time.
Ok, hope I don't offend anyone! I really didn't mean too . . .
